This will continue for ever. The indig; that are going to uni and doing ok in society are the prodgeny of the stolen generation. It helped the indig; community to no end.
The indig; that live in the camps have no hope at all. They are battling to send their kids to school two days in a row.
Anyone that says we can do more for the camp people are in fairyland
To my opinion they should be away from towns, and living their traditional life, in areas that are exclusively theirs with out intrusion from white man.

I am aware my storys are the bad ones,but many exist,and are part of the problem.
A special consideration is given in the work place to Aboriginals, not new it was so 40 years ago.
Of late jobs are created just for them, partnerships developed with employers unions workers and trainers, all hoping to make it work.
Most hurting at the failures,PC brings failures, falling back on white mans invasion and 200 years of at least in part failure on BOTH SIDES brings failures.
I hurt at the failures, stood along side a bloke who hid in a pipe under the road asleep!
Got him another chance, he fell asleep in a training room during a safety course,saved him again.
Twice more, then,the most racist out burst you could ask for,because I said these words quote *my Friend every one tried to make this work, except you, please try next time we do not get many second chances in life* end quote.
I have hurt many times at failure, rare indeed that failure is not followed by words as bad as any from a KKK member aimed at his/her white workmates.
We can look for answers in the past blame one side.
But it is time not to end the special ways we help but to introduce accountability to every social security receiver who can work but is not color no boundary.
We must stop living in fear if we take threatened children it will be called stolen generation we must act as if the end justifies our actions and keep bleeding hearts from bring further damage.

Thank you. My sentiments exactly. See my previous post.

The first thing that many aboriginals do when a woman gets her beating or a jealous ex partner stabs someone is to ring the Police. Despite being called white trash, spat upon and much worse many of these brave men and woman endure daily the lawlessness instilled into many from a young age. Until the victim mentality is overcome taxpayers will continue to finance police officers at a much higher rate for our first people (if they were first) and the woman and kids will suffer. Imagine the Police were not at the beck and call of these daily violent incidences and you will be left with total lawlessness. Time is generations overdue for aboriginal people to take some responsibility. Many Regional centres need heaps more law enforcement simply because heaps more crime is committed by aboriginals. Majority of Police are heroes not villains.

Runner:

The national culture of drinking is the problem; The police exacerbate social turmoil with “holier than thou pomposity”. Police simply help quell riot. They are generally seen as the front men to the prison system. The “Zap” men. Are invariable recruited from an elite in society with little or no respect or empathy towards Aboriginal culture and less care. They are seen to parade their pomposity and superiority in a ruthless pogrom of arrest with violence. Not arrest of the violent. They are the enemy!

Aboriginals would be much better off, if welfare did not exist.

They are really only behaving as our forebears did, when they could. The fact was that they did not eat, if they did not work, & some earnings was required to buy their grog. Long hours of near slave labour forced them to sober up.

If the people of the 17Th century UK had been given enough money to stay drunk, most of them would have.

It really is not too hard to see the reason for the problem. The only real answer may be much tougher than most Ozzies are prepared to be. I only say may be, as no one knows if it would work, & can not know, until it is tried.

What we do know is that more bleeding heart solutions are never going to work.
