"We
(Aboriginal people) have to be as forthright and unequivocal about our responsibilities
as we are about our rights - otherwise our society will fall apart while
we are still fighting for our rights.
We do not have a right to passive welfare - indeed, we can no longer accept
it.
We have a right to a real economy, we have a right to build a real economy"
Noel
Pearson, Our Right to Take Responsibility, 2000

IEP is a breakthrough organisation |
Indigenous Enterprise Partnerships is a not for profit organisation which channels corporate and philanthropic resources into Indigenous development.
IEP seeks to develop innovative ways to arrest and break through the destructive
passive welfare economy by
 directly and indirectly building the capacity of individuals and organisations
delivering
appropriately skilled resources to priority projects
We work with Indigenous leaders and their organisations in
the Cape York Peninsula of Far North Queensland;
the Goulburn/Murray region in Victoria;
Redfern-Waterloo in New South Wales;
and the East Kimberley Region in Western Australia.
