"the worst of all for aboriginal health was an equal wage for all on pastoral land and the right to drink."
Well, yes, Disco, because an awful lot DIDNT get the equal wage -they were driven off instead......and I still reckon they would have been better off without drink.
Re "the initial introduction of flour/tea/sugar and salt meat "
Truthfully, never thought of that. i wouldnt like to opinionate as to whether that would have been harmful. BUT, they still used to eat 'roo & turkey as well.....just in case you're thinking of a charge of attempted genocide by diet against Australia, lol.
