A number of Koori people are involved in community politics. The most impressive public speaker is Jack Patten Jnr. He has been a child at Cummeragunja, in South-West NSW, but grown up at Salt Pan Creek, Georges River, where he develops good relations with the La Perouse community. At about this time he moves to the inner city and is close to the gathering political action. (see also South East section of the website)
