"The problems Australian Aboriginals face are immense.

Australian Aboriginal children are eleven times more likely to be removed from their families by child protection services and to end up in care."

It is actually worse than that because a high percentage of people who are self reporting as Aboriginals are not really Aboriginals at all. We are spending money on the wrong cohort. The majority of the people who want reconciliation are mostly white. They want to be reconciled with their own ancestors. It is all humbug on a large scale. Today's generations cannot be held responsible for the doings of their forebears on either side.

Duh! The reason the Voice was rejected is that most Australians did not want it; certainly not permanently ensconced in their Constitution.

Blaming this one and that one for the flop of the Voice is just an arrogant denial of the fact that the 'silent majority' - most Australians, have the ability to make up their own minds about what their 'betters' try to force on them.

One of the many things that Albanese actually needs to be blamed for, is that immigration hit 500,000 in September.

Get off the black bandwagon mate.

Sorry to inform you but you exhibit the major failure you outline by meddling in heart on sleeve issues you know very very little about.

You are the enemy of reason with your horn blowing heart on sleeve whining for an issue that to you is academic, but to those such as myself who live side by side and often with see you as the problem.

I can guarantee you uncle Peter, the huge sums of money that evaporates before it hits the ground are uselessly expended by uncaring Governments, constantly defending themselves against accusations of disconnected reality.

Most Aboriginals live at ground level, whereas the power to remedy bad situations you outline, live in disconnected ivory towers. You are the wrong people in charge of the Aboriginal inequality issue.

There is not a single aboriginal or mix race or any Oz citizen alive in Australia today, who is not better off because of white settlement.

"Australian Aboriginal children are eleven times more likely to be removed from their families by child protection services and to end up in care".

And this the fault of white men of course.

"Indigenous Australians are the most incarcerated people in the world. 3.3% of Australian population is aboriginal, 30% of prison population is aboriginal. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults make up around 2% of the national population and they constitute 27% of the national prison population".

Again the fault of white men of course. There is a little truth in this one. Bleeding heart judges who continually let Aboriginal or any other youth offenders off with out any punishment for criminal activity are training youth Aboriginals to do anything & expect to be let off.

Antisocial behavior by all youth needs to be punished quickly to prevent it becoming hardened criminal activity. Bleeding heart judges do more harm to all youth than any other group.
