I saw this earlier on. What is the validity of this if any ? 6000 sounds extremely low to me.

Only sincere replies please, no Paul1405 sarcastic mockery !

Apologies, didn't paste the info in the post before;
According to some survey there were 6000 so-called full blood Indigenous & 850,000 identifying as Indigenous.

Indy,

Not at all surprising that the number of people with a very high level of indigenous blood would be relatively low. Considering the male Europeans penchant for having sexual relations with Aboriginal women, sometimes Aboriginals women were willing, at other times it was a case of rape. Indigenous were not "blessed" with our "Protestant moral virtues". Where children were fathered by a European, the man would quickly abandon both mother and child, and with true Protestant virtue return to his loving European wife, until next time he could let the trouser snake out for a bit of exploration. Children would identify as Aboriginal as there were abandoned by their natural fathers, and brought up in an Aboriginal society. Unless they were part of the 'Stolen Generation' and institutionalised, from where then they could be used as a cheap source of labour, used to serve the white man.

Everyone's a winner, right Indy!

Paul1405,
There's no denying the atrocities & general exploitive manner of the British & with the saturation coverage of these stories, no-one can plead ignorance anymore.
There's also no denying of the good will by most Caucasians (not sure about the British) since but that doesn't get the ABC/SBS coverage of course.
Compensation to Aborigines is the highest to indigenous of any land on earth. That appears to be not worth mentioning for most.

Latest poll. Only two states with YES majority . Albanese is still confident. Like he was confident that power bills would be $275 cheaper?
