I know Caucasians who are less than useless & I know indigenous who pull their weight & vice versa.
Someone with mixed racial heritage would have to have a head start with such DNA one would think but by being deemed one or the other places them in the back of the line or just over it.
I knew Asians living in remote communities who vehemently objected to being called indigenous only 30 years ago yet within a very short time they just as vehemently claimed indigenous status.
You see, one can change if the benefits are attractive enough !

Indyvidual,

The following link is worth a read:

http://bbc.com/news/world-australia-40024622

" Australia remains the only Commonwealth country to have
never signed a treaty with its indigenous people. While
treaties were established early on in other British
dominions such as New Zealand, Canada, and in the United
States, the situation in Australia has been notoriously
different."

" The absence of a treaty has been a crucial and
aggravating factor in relations with the first inhabitants
of this nation. They've suffered the worst treatments ever
inflicted on Aboriginals by British colonists."

"Yes, we've had words, acts, and gestures, but there's
still no treaty and there remain contentious sections of
the nation's constitution which are race-based."

"Section 25 still says states can disqualify people from
voting on account of their race and Section 51 (xxvi)
empowers the government to legislate for the people of
any race "for whom it is deemed necessary to make
special laws."

Seeing how we can now decide for our selves that we are male, female, or something yet to be invented any time we should so choose, I believe we also have the right to decide we are indigenous if it suits us.

As it will be most advantageous to be indigenous it would make sense for all of us to declare we are indigenous, & flood the gravy train.

Dear Hasbeen,

I can't believe that you seriously believe what
you've just posted.

Australia remains the only Commonwealth country to have never signed a treaty with its indigenous people.
Foxy,
I'm uninformed about the rest of this Commonwealth but I'm sure you'll provide an enlightening link.
Do these other countries provide as much to their indigenous as Australia does or perhaps even more or perhaps less ?
