I agree with Nampijinpa Price, page-169

"Are you suggesting they had better living conditions prior to the white fella coming on the scene?". .. crikey buddy.... of course they had far better living conditions, freedom, health outcomes etc before we whites invaded and commenced killing Aboriginal people. herding them into missions and giving them grog. if you think otherwise you prob haven't read much of Aboriginal life pre-colonisation.

the "weak political leadership" was under Abbott. that was denigration and total lack of respect.
