Re: Aborigines?
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!

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.

Re: Aborigines?
What gave us the right? Who are we to decide how these beautiful people, who are very aware of the issues amongst their own communities, who had a law and order system better and more effective than any we can ever dream of, who are we to decide how they should live their lives?
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.

Re: Aborigines?
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!
