When my lawyer, doctor, accountant or dentist is an indigenous person, Ill start giving them some respect...Go to Doomadgee in northern Qld and you see all the budding
lawyers, doctors, accountants, dentists etc behaving in the
usual indigenous manner....
I know, sarcasm will get me no-where...
One by one,
in the fullness of time, our aborigine brothers and sisters will join the Mainstream in order to enjoy the benefits and the privileges that the rest of us are blessed with.
An old Italian landlord of mine once scolded me that the British had missed the opportunity when they could have exterminated every last one of the aborigines rather than leave the legacy of aboriginal dysfunction and its grievance industry that we see today, 200 years later.
I didn't agree with him then, and I don't agree with him now.
No party has yet been willing to step forward and deliver the Tough Love that is needed to resolve many of the issues that the aborigines are struggling with today.
