Quote:Aboriginals have deep resentment at their dispossession and exclusion from society.
Yes, we are agreed on that. How do you suggest we quell this resentment?
Quote:A change in their social circumstances and place in society is a long haul requiring the nurturing of Aboriginal leadership to take control over their society.
Yes!! That's right!!
How do we do it?
Quote:The evident solution is for the government to invoke a genuine policy of inclusion and empowerment. Aboriginals need to be fully included in closet pom society not the blatantly false, patronizing, policies of the past.
Yes yes yes!! You're giving Oz a raging hard-on.
How do we go about it?
Quote:The problem appears intractable from the white man's aspect because no serious attempt to include Aboriginals in society has ever been made.
No. That would be considered genocide...they want to be included, yet they want to be a separate tribe. How do you suggest we achieve that?
Quote:The only way it can ever be solved is by enabling Aboriginals to solve it themselves.
I'm sick of your high platitudes. Roll your sleeves up and tell me how "we enable Abos to solves it themselves"?
Quote:Closet poms poisoned Aboriginal society by displacing the social structures that existed before the settlement of Australia. Nothing replaced the previous social structures which gives rise to the anarchy of today. New social structures need to be developed that link and include Aboriginals in mainstream closet pom society.
Awesome solution. We'll just do that. How will you implement it?
