Not sure that truly qualifies as "better than anything we could ever dream of" !!

An interesting point, which human rights advocates trump as if this is the fault of a racist white Australian population, when in fact the reason they have such a short life expectancy, is because so many are alcoholics, use drugs, sniff petrol, have a poor diet and so are diabetic, and don't look after themselves. But no, apparently according to some, its because we are all racist!

Their life expectectancy was probably even worse before white settlment, they did'nt have much of a health care system, break your leg you die.
They go on about how before white Settlement they were all livingin utopia in harmony with the land, thats a load of bull. Captain Cook or someone like that said their lives were " short and brutal" many killed in inter tibal warfare.

Beacaue I'm f**king paying for it!

If they want to go and live their lives the way they want then let them do so - but they need to be self sustaining and not live their lives on the taxpayers coin.

Not for you, might be better for them. They managed for a few millenia.

My hubby was punched in the face by a 13 year old Aboriginal girl, as he broke up a fight at school (Aboriginal girl was mauling a white girl). He is a big guy, at 6ft 3", and he could barely contain her. He has split up numerous fights in his career, mainly senior boys, but he said that was the worst he had ever seen!

If they gave up the booze , petrol sniffing, junk food, cigarettes, domestic violence, inter tibal violence then they would live as long as most white people.
