Ironbark222, if only you'd been privileged to speak with the Aborigines who participated in Albury's protest rally as I was yesterday, you'd realise just how ill-conceived your opinion of them is:
"... Mungabareena Aboriginal Corporation chief executive Michael Cutmore questioned whether a policy of closing small communities would apply to all remote communities.
“It astounds me the Australian government policies have changed very little (on indigenous matters),” he said.
“It always seems to be a common denominator to break down our people.” ..."

People need to stop reading opinionated columnists and listening to motor-mouthed shock-jocks and engage directly with Aborigines if they are to gain understanding. Yesterday's protest rallies are a warning shot across Tony Abbott's bows that matters he has inflamed are not going to blow away in the hot air spewing from the mouths of the his trumpeters.
