It still leaves what I have to say as incomplete... but that's the way it should be... understanding this problem is simple, really, it doesn't take thousands of words, shouldn't do...
Here's the bit I cut out:
Check Mick Dodson - talks about aboriginal 'sovereignty'. He wants an aboriginal 'nation' as do many others even if they don't realise it. What's the final result of that? Division of this nation. Black Australia and White Australia or whatever you want to call it. But two nations. AND THAT'S OKAY TOO - if you want to do that then grasp the nettle and DO IT! Partition Australia. Set up borders, customs, passports, whatever...
Decide what you're doing. Are they conquered or not? Are they Aussies or not?
