I would say playing ostrich has never ended in a positive result;

And I would define 'playing ostrich' as refusing to address the reasons I placed as to why Aboriginal Australians wouldn't be so inclined to share in our indignation against the latest arrivals we're receiving- at the very least acknowledge that to expect them of all people to get indignant when WE are experiencing the same problems as them, is the pinnacle of hypocrisy.

Failing to acknowledge this will of course continue to alienate our indigenous Australians, or- if you're not concerned about that- will be doing the pro-refugee advocates a huge favor.

King Hazza,
I'm not getting the gist of your comment. I can't recall reading or hearing any objections from any indigenous source regarding more invaders. To my knowledge all criticism is aimed at the past european invasions. My question to those who claim to represent the views of the australian indigenous was simply, do they object to more invasions or are they only objecting to european invaders.
