I see your a new generation libral,that gives freedoms to the un-productive minority,at the expence of the productive majority.
firstly,tell your ''international law'' theorys to some of the hard working and struggling Australian farmers who CANT GET A BANK LOAN FOR MUCH NEEDED EQUIPMENT DUE TO A NATIVE TITLE CLAIM,and whats worse its land that has been in the farmers family for generations,and to ad that insult to them if they obtain the land they sell it for quick ''money'',do your research and you will find cases of this.
secondly,i dont have to worry about Japan invading Australia during world war 11,my grandfather was tortured and starved to death(i proudly display his war medals on my loungeroom wall)in a Japan prison camp,he was a Australian un-breakable ,hard, mans man,however i believe he cried himself to sleep every night becouse of his sacrifice he made to his family.And what was that sacrifice,so his grandsons,which i am one of four,could have DEMORCRATIC FREE SPEACH.
Finally,leave them in their degrading existance,addicted to alcohol,drugs, with high unemployment,domestic violence and no education,and then leave all the excuses to the next generation on why you did not give them self-respect,education,employment and give them,yes,that word again(WICH YOU BELIEVE DOES NOT OFFER THEM ANYTHING AT ALL,HOWEVER ANY INTELLIGENT PERSON WOULD STATE THEY WILL RECIEVE EXACTLY WHAT I JUST PROPOSED)''assimulated''
