It'll become ever more messy as the invention of "history" ends up contradicting itself.
I think history must be preserved under all circumstances but not invented nor must it be permitted to be concealed. The recent past has provided ample evidence of both !

Equality for Aboriginal Australians became law after the 1967 Referendum, now they, or those pushing the “industry” want more than equality.

is Mise,
It certainly hasn't anything "equal" about it when despite already getting more, more gets demanded for less effort by pale-faced claimants of Aboriginality !

"Equality for Aboriginal Australians became law after the 1967 Referendum".

Not quite. All the referendum did was to consider themselves as citizens rather than "native fauna".

It didn't end discrimination but allowed the Government to make specific laws that applied to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples that could assist in addressing inequalities.
While the Holt government started to take some action, the following Gorton government seemed completely disinterested in and even hostile toward aboriginal affairs.

It seems many still blame the aborigines for the shortcomings and misguided actions of governments.

Yes. It was expected that 1967 would not be enough and, here we go again. There is no comparison between the successful, and necessary, referendum of 55 years ago. This current farce and push for an apartheid system would not have been allowed to get as far as it has in the democratic, non-racially obsessed country Australia was back then. Now, with racist Blacktivists (most not so black) and white Marxists, the only hope lies with the silent majority - if they are still there, and haven't given up in disgust.
