people may wear different clothes and have different traditions but the human being is the same animal the world over and you can always back a horse called self interest when it comes to their reasons for doing things no matter how they may seek to present a different face to the world.

By the way has your family given back any of their land or houses to the aborigines yet or have you booked a passage on a boat to go and leave the country so the aborigines can have the space you"re taking up and the territorial resources you're using, back?
