Aborigines have been persecuted and murdered in their hundreds by their police while in 'protective' custody. Nothing muchhas changed in Australia since the days when organised 'Aborigine shoots' were organised by farmers to 'clear'their land. The Government continually coversup such incidents...how will these atrocities be stopped when we all know how 'crooked' the Australian policeforce is? Why don't the people of Australia help the Aborigine populations from such treatment?....

Why not ask STANG?....if he wasn't so busy trying to govern America, he might be able to channel his zealous energy to making right what is wrong with Australia, specifically the horrible plight of the Aborigines...good luck changing his priorities; he's totally commited to the betterment of America......🙄

Surely Eurocentric thinking to talk about an Aborigine problem? Isn´t this an Australian Police problem?

It's a going round the world kicking shite out of militarily weaker races and cultures. American Continent, Wales, Australasian Continent, Diego Garcia, African Continent, Iraq, India etc etc.

Capitalism and Imperialism stink!

Here's the twist; in the US we subjugated the native population with guns and alcohol, but in the last twenty years the alcoholism in said population has dropped to lower than any other group in the US. They have also, by building casinos, increased their wealth and have been able to buy back a lot of land around the reservations. Wouldn't it be ironic if they took back all of the US by our rules, if one day a rez police officer came and evicted me from my home. I would smile, pack up my stuff and leave.

I know this is a bit off the thread here. Sorry.

LOL - Nice post - get's my rec. But if it ever came about the US would only change the rules. As it did countless times whilst conquering the native peoples.

A little poem from Wales.

England always plays the game,
But please don't think we're fools,
'Cause if we find we're losing,
We go and change the rules.

I can't really reply. I am already considered to be The Capitalist abroad in the world wreaking havoc amongst tender upshoots of democratic souls.

Poor me. I din't mean to be.

If I thought there was a chance of committing change from within I would. But you and I both know better than to fight religious zealotry.
