As a Third Nations person --( That is what I think I will be classed as! , as I was born in Australia, and Both My parents were also born in Australia, - However a Grandparent was Born overseas.. I am assuming my children and their children will be classed as Third Nations people. The Immigrants currently on Temporary Visas, that are to receive Australian Citizenship later this Year ( as Per labors announcement this week) - will they be Fifth Nation persons? (I think Fourth Nations people possibly should be here for at least a second Generation). what I am wondering about -- , is that one of my grandchildren is in a relationship with a First Nation person, if they marry or partner-up will they "share the status of First Nation persons as well as their children?' " and if in the future they happen to divorce will the status of First Nations persons have to be relinquished? Hopefully someone can explain it - in simple easy to understand terms??

With all the dilution, and if we had the guts to follow Canadian and Hawaii definitions of indigenous, we White's would be considered as First Nations people by now. At least these two countries are trying to encourage the native younger generation to save their bloodline with offering life style benefits
