Abbo actor thinks we owe him stuff

[Br.IanVonTurpie]

TERRITORY actor David Gulpilil has been given a prestigious Australia Council arts award worth $50,000, but it's almost a case of too little, too late.
"I am angry at this country. For forgetting about me. For forgetting about the Aboriginal people. That's why we are poor and homeless," he said in Sydney yesterday.
"I'm like a broken car. Who is going to put the piston back to my heart?"
Gulpilil said he would use his $50,000 Red Ochre Award prize to return home to Arnhem Land.
He has at times in the past two years been living in a chook shed at Darwin's One Mile Dam.
The prizemoney will go towards the water tank and generator that are necessary for him to live on his traditional land, 500km east of Darwin.     The star of Walkabout, Storm Boy, Crocodile Dundee and Australia hasn't touched alcohol since being jailed in September 2011 for assaulting his wife.
On a personal level, however, he is still grappling with issues.
The trail-blazing actor, dancer, choreographer and painter said his successful career had not lead to a lifestyle of comfort.
"I have no home. No money. Nothing," he said.



You got paid money ! bloody spend it wisely and quit grizzling! take some responsibility for your actions and quit blaming us you ugly boong!


Here he be heard saying " ehhhhh look ere stormboy whiie fella gib me a ciggy or a dolla for da bus or I'll smack you ! you whiiie carrrnnn!"

"No I habbn'y gort any munny! just dese sticks so gib me some of your whiie fella munny!"
