    I find it difficult to believe that in just one day our media reports the following news about how Australia's indigenous people are being treated:

    "Aboriginal death in custody: Inmate died in Sydney prison after being 'restrained and sedated'"
    http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-09-...us-inmate-died-after-being-restrained/7827450

    "James Hardie unlikely to pay compensation for Aboriginal kids exposed to asbestos in NSW town of Baryulgil"
    http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-09-...-from-asbestos-can't-sue-james-hardie/7823308

    "Healthy welfare card could be fuelling black market for cash in Kununurra"
    "http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-09-08/concern-over-welfare-card-black-market/7824944

    "John Howard, Tony Abbott lock in against treaty with Indigenous Australians"
    http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-09-...st-treaty-with-indigenous-australians/7825298

    Yep, that's right! The man in budgie smugglers who PROMISED a referendum to better recognise Aborigines in our  Constitution but FAILED to do so while he slashed and burned their share of the Budget is now reported to have spoken out against a Treaty.

    Fair dinkum, you couldn't make this stuff up!
