By Craig Thompson, published 24/5/2023

Australian society is presently in the grip of a call to uncomfortable memory: remember that colonisation was very often a violent process and continues to be radically disruptive.

Do we need another Bureaucratic group to feather their own nest?? NO, NO, NO,
A few with education will get very rich, a few will do well should yes get up, a few families will benefit greatly and the poor old blackfella will still sit under a gum tree with nothing.
Has been happening for the last 50+ years. I have seen it all and the billions of dollars spent have been great for the few that know how to work the system.
NO is the only way to go!

Ithought there were only about 20,000 to 40,000 aborigines in Australia when the BRITISH arrived. Hardly a nation of people. more like 2 or 3tribes in this fast land mass.

They have about a dozen Aboriginal politicians in power already,
Not exactly No Voice. And the media constantly pushes their issues On SBS and AbC. They have 2 TV CHANNELS and plenty of Aboriginal politicians. More than other races have.

Aboriginals have the same opportunities as any race in Australia today. But if they choose to live in remote areas, don't send their kids to school,well that is the cause of their problem. If they refuse to take advantages of the tools other races in this country have to use to gain a decent life, then that is what they are choosing,To lead a stoneage tribal existence. Take responsibility for those choices don't try to gain extra privileges by blaming others for your choices.
