As for the current situation of 'special benefits'.
Well, the British 'bought' some of the Black Tribes to fight on their side, after they had 'bought' the Coloureds (non-white immigrants into South Africa). The Boers had 'black tribes' ally with them and attack British forces. But the better funded British, who eventually brought in Australian and New Zealand troops as well. Managed to 'coerce' and buy most of the Black Tribes against the Boers. Shame really, the Boers were the ones who were 'integrating' with the Xhosian Tribes, not the British - who were making the Xhosians dependent on Politics.
...so, there is that. They probably 'pay' the Aboriginals against 'whoever' may threaten the 'British' rule here in Australia.
But lets also consider that the Romans allowed the 'primative' Britons a period of 500 years before they actually considered it worth 'invading'. Mind you, it took hundreds of years before a Briton could actually 'evolve' to live inside a 'House'.
The Vikings also traded over Europe, into Asia and far across the Meditteranean into Middle-East for over 800 years before they actually 'invaded' and conquered.
So with some 'sympathy'. I have no 'anti' against Aboriginals getting 'support', be it financial or otherwise. They have spent 50,000 years isolated and then suddenly the WHOLE WORLD suddenly spills into their country. The 'culture shock' would be intense and sometimes brutal (though I don't think Aboriginals have ever suffered as much as other people's have at the hands of others through-out history). I'm all for them getting 'support' to adjust, because adjust they must.
People wonder why a 'white' looking person, calling themselves 'Aboriginal' because they have a 5% bloodline connection, gets all the 'benefits' at the cost of a taxpayer. Oh well, we all have 'choices' in life. Many 'non-white' people consider themselves 'Political' or 'British'.
But will those people still remain 'Aboriginal' when a Republic comes? A Republic that will 'draw the line' "You are with us, or against us!?"
So there you have it. It's the British that 'fund' the Aboriginals. The very Aboriginals that cry 'Invasion' while holding out their hands for the money.
So when a Republic comes, the British 'Criminal' and the Aboriginal 'goes'. Back into the past where they prefer to stay in their bitterness. While those of the Republic embrace the future, regardless of 'race'.
