Please? Why not treat each race equally? To do other is simply racism!
If I get out of work and need the dole, etc, etc, then what difference does my race make?
Why should I be treated differently because I am of aboriginal descent?

I do not think that the Government has a 'let them wipe themselves out' attitude to aboriginal people. The massive amounts of money and indulgence all governments have given them is a stange way of 'wiping them out'.

Had the meddling do-gooders allowed nature and evolution to take its course over the past 200 plus years, aboriginal-Australians would have passed peacefully into history long ago. The Mayans disappeared. The Incas disappeared. The Roman Empire disappeared. All of these cultures had had their time, and were unable to adapt to changing times. Nature has this in store for all of us who cannot adapt to change. With no malice towards Australian aborigines intended, it must be said that this is what should have happened to them in the natural way of things.

The aboriginal 'problem' has been caused by arrogant social engineers who think that they can play god with nature, and get away with it.

The Government does not have to do anything - Indigenous people are wiping themselves out quite successfully. The problem is that the rest of the country is forced to watch as they undertake their own eradication program.

The so-called Aboriginal leaders are silent on the very issue that is behind the problem - men.

The stand-over tactics is endemic in Aboriginal communities. Women and kids are subject to levels of abuse committed by men that if committed in a white community would have had self-appointed advocates screaming through the media which governments would ignore at their peril. Yet from Aborigines - nothing but stony silence because to complain is seen as being 'like whites'. A process of learned helplessness is pervading Indigenous communities.

Leigh ,
Suppose you consider your Aboriginal neighbour's boy, who plays with your son, almost one of the family.
Now if he had contracted a deadly disease would you let him pass into history or would you tell his father about the new antibiotic that is available to cure him ?
OK , so you never let your son play with Aboriginal kids .
