Also what about the two world wars your people got us into that killed millions of people and the destruction of the forrests and pollluting of our waters, not to mention high interest rates created by your need for credit.
ABoriginal people payed taxes for services we could not use by law whilst you two wingers got the benefits of it and your families. As for Howard he wouldn't say sorry on behalf of whites yet demanded an apology from the japanese for there alleged crimes against white soldiers.

If locking up Aboriginal people and taking away their rights as civilians is good for them because of conditions created by whites, then locking up white soldiers and starving them to death was good to protect asian people from slavery under white rule.
