Drunken layabouts ? Probably quite a fair percentage, especially of people on lifelong welfare, especially of men. They don't particularly concern me. They've made their choices.
I'm more interested in how many are working their way through higher education - 2015 figures should be out any day now, and they'll probably show an increase of 7 or 8 % on last year's figures, and a total of around forty thousand graduates, two-third of whom are women. I'll post them up on my web-site ASAP. Do you know of anybody else who is following these figures ?
No, Paul, they're not a small minority of all Indigenous people - currently, around 55 % of young Indigenous people can expect to enrol at some time at university, say six thousand out of an age-group of eleven thousand - of those, perhaps 20 % will be enrolling in post-graduate courses, and most of the remaining 80 % will be enrolling in mainstream, degree-level, under-graduate courses for the first time. If you don't believe me, you can easily check it all out on: https://www.education.gov.au/student-data
Why do I care about Indigenous graduates ? Because they will be the ones who contribute to the future of their people, not the 'drunken layabouts', as you call them.
I'll repeat, I'm not suggesting that Greens supporters are terrorists, simply that their class bases overlap. Hence, the fairly soft approach (no, I wouldn't call it camaraderie yet) that your mob may have towards massacres and atrocities. But that's for you to sort out.
Cheers,
Joe
