| I don't think saying sorry is going to change one goddamn thing. As long as aboriginals have access to alcohol the cycle of child abuse and abuse of women will continue. I worked on aboriginal missions nearly fifty years ago and the living conditions and the health of aboriginal is as bad, if not worse now, than it was then. That's despite the billions of dollars that have been thrown at the problems. Until aborigines start to accept some responsibility for their problems, instead of blaming everything on "whitey", nothing will ever change. They have become too dependant on what they call "sit down money" (the dole). |
