Proving that you can find support for minorities anywhere in the world.
Two things you need to understand:
Australia was originally a penal colony, settled by white westerners, using white slave labour to develop the country.
The indigenous peoples had been predominantly a transient race, moving frequently to utilize available resources. When the country eventually reached democracy, control was exercised over the Aboriginals, and their inclusion in the occupied settlements became more de veloped.
Its important to understand the time frame and infrastructure necessary to achieve this state of affairs. You cannot uninvent the historic settlement of that country nor can you judge the current standards of that country, based on your poor understanding of history.
Imagine trying to settle a country as big as Australia today? With abundant resources confined to coastal areas. A troublesome native population was only one difficulty to overcome.
Now all people are considered equal, and rightly so. Now our understanding of such settlement is more refined, and our view of humanity has changed.
It took the native population 50,000 years to exploit the abundant resources. The settlers took 200 years.
Those factual results contain no judgement by me on which approach to settlement is right, only that historical perspective is required to even attempt such judgments objectively.
Make it easy for him: British, mainly, as non-indigenous Australians didn't exist then, not for a very long time afterwards, at last 100 years.
In reality there are far more . . . but he won't listen, rather he'll reply with some long-winded article on imported Kanaks to the Qld cane-fields (there's a hint there for you OhOh - naughty white people. Naughty Australians)
For anyone interested in how the West was won Google "Battle of Pinjarra".
What I never see anyone offering up is a solution to this obviously massive problem. Throwing money at it clearly doesn't work, although those in the Aboriginal industry might argue that point , so what's the answer? All whitey's to leave Australia and let them go back to throwing sticks at Kangaroos and each other?
^ nah ... the Chinese would just invade and rename it New South China!
Judging by what has occurred to the Uyghurs
That's odd because this has been a feature for decades, many options tried and many failed. It simply isn't a cookie-cutter issue and even declaring it an aboriginal probem is wrong as one tribe differs from the next.
There is no doubt that Aboriginals have been murdered en masse, dehumanised, marginaised etc etc for centuries and yes, the 98% of the population that isn't Abiroginal, though government, needs to keep trying to solve the issue and keep it solved, which is an ongoing problem.
Yup, the vast, cast majority being white
You really think that's what many are advocating . . . and what were our ancestors doing?
Yea, hardly . . . the bogey-man for Oz has always been Indonesia and ther policy of populating as many aras as they can with Javanese
Probably best not mentioning Tasmania then..
Shhh....don't mention the war
No need to invade Australia it, along with another 101 countries of the world, has already signed up and paid their subs to join the club of the AIIB?
Their citizens will reap their rewards/dividends, subject to Australian Government's decision.

of course China has invested the most and has the most votes:

A tray full of GOLD is not worth a moment in time.
I am eager to be educated on Australian History. What I'm finding is massacres, robbing Aborigines of their land, herded into 'compounds" managed by overseers, funds being utilised for the gatekeepers lifestyles, their all drunken bums ....
Not unusual in Britain's Empire.
Put up here or point me to the thread where this has all been discussed previously. Where I might be educated.
My knowledge of Australian History is dismal; Captain Cook planting a Union Jack and it being run as a prison to empty English jails of the 'ne'er-do-wells". A few snippets of 20 pound tickets for emigrants, nothing of any substance.
^ Read a good book about Australian history rather than relying on threads on a shitfest and shitpost forum.
The Fatal Shore, by Robert Hughes. Excellent book.But what "good book about Australian history" will be found useful?
Anyone, suggest some?
Chinese people certainly traded with the Torres Strait Islanders, in the far north of Australia. Makkasans from Indonesia too, and the Dutch also made contact with them. This before Capt Cook.
