I agree. I am in WA, now retired, and have spent some time up north.....all over - mostly resource driven. I am well aware that there are tribes galore and claims galore for the Aboriginal industry. I don't think Aboriginal society of yore is worth considering, or paying for. There is absolutely nothing that I see in their culture - worth preserving or acknowledging. This is from someone that has worked all over the planet. I have seen it all. Cultures that are amazing, or disappointing. And Aboriginal culture should get down on their knees and thank god no one with a brain has invaded and slaughtered them. They are so lucky to live in Australia. Now they should, do their best. A very common encouragement in Japan - everyone should do their best. And so they strive.
Aboriginals should ditch the false victim mentality - and do their best. To join the rest of Australia. We will not join them. They have to join us!
