Peace and quiet on a remote 'community' ? I'm sure a lot of women and kids out there would like that.

Platypus, will you try to get it through your head that you can't 'get' anybody, black or white, to do anything - nobody in Australia is under that sort of control. Aboriginal people certainly haven't been for generations.

Many, if not most, Aboriginal people in the cities don't get much, or any, assistance from any government agency. They are just getting on with business, like other people.

Actually, your assumption of 'get them to do (a) or (b)' makes you sound like one of the Aboriginal elite: I've heard people in confidence using some of that 'sheep-dog' language, as if they had the power to round up people and move them hither and thither, like sheep. No they don't, and neither do you, thank Christ.
