The problem is we have the collision of two worlds, you are witness to one part, one I've hardly seen myself, and the other like here in Melbourne, where for the most part the Aboroginal community fits in quite well.

I can understand why you would view this issue as a lost cause, especially as you have been privvy to the most negative parts of this lifestyle. We have the other end of the spectrum down here, and can cite that the majority of Koori people down here do indeed fit into what is called mainstream society. In fact I know for a fact, that a lot of the Koori people here in Melbourne, go and spend time visiting freinds and relations on tribal lands and come back straight into everyday life without a problem

Education and example on a major scale is whats needed, how you implement thats the problem.
