This wide, brown, racist land : Comments

By Stephen Hagan, published 31/3/2008

Are Indigenous Australians so economically useless and menacingly unattractive that they need to be relocated away from their birth place or removed from public view?

"Australia was built on the wages stolen from Aboriginals" Wow!
Australia was built on the backs of the pioneers, the Aboriginal workers and migrants seeking a better way to live,who were prepared to slog hard for the privilege. Quite unlike many of today's migrants.
The sad fact that much of the crime is committed by young aboriginals is ignored, bashing,house breaking, raping- ignored. the terrible crimes committed against their own children and women -ignored.
But that doesn't stop this self pitying master of victimhood-as usual.

A shameful situation against the indigenous Aussies involved. A little reminiscent of familiies being forced away, when AIDS first hit the scene. That said, I don't think it fair to say Anglo-Austalians are typically racist.

The aforementioned need not be the case. Herein, I note that many Italian, Greek and Asian Australians seem happily settled in the Leichhardt, Five Dock, Stanmore, Ashfield to Strathfield belt of Sydney suburbs. Most are gainfully employed and many live in million dollar homes.

Likewise, it would unfair to taint all aboriginal Australians for burning out a white family near Redfern's "The Block" [reported on TV some years' back]. Black or White, the trouble makers are a minority, to be treated as un-Australian by te rest us, full-stop.

Regards,

O.
