"The preferential treatment for Maori in NZ including hospitals is creating apartheid, and I suspect the preferential treatment of your Aboriginals will do that in Australia."g'day Wellington and welcome to the politics forum.
are you aware of just how appalling was the Sth African system of law that was apartheid? it wasn't just the literal definition of the word but a system that abused non-white people (indigenous native people and Indian heritage people) creating entirely different rules for the separated cohorts of the SA community.
what first Aussies have experienced was very similar to apartheid
LINK HERE that cruelly oppressed Aboriginal people. Maori were much more assertive and more capable of meeting the white colonist/invaders so they experienced only a lesser degree of "separateness" in their country. despite the fraud committed against them they ensured there was one saving grace; the inclusion of representation in the governance of their laws and land.
first Aussies are asking for inclusion to represent their views in parliament - that is all its about. this
