I’d much rather see Indigenous children collect eggs than empty beer bottles and cans.

"It is rather ironic that both dad and mum’s only form of income at that time was from the minimum wage earned by working cattle or toiling as a domestic servant scrubbing dirty floors, pots and pans in the sprawling homesteads of white landlords who grew fatter in wealth and girth by the hour - on the land that was once owned by their forebears."

This is the long term inequity that needs to be compensated for. I'm happy to "pay the rent" so that all Australian Aborigines are able to build appropriate housing wherever they are whether it be on traditional lands or in the suburbs.
