Its sad what the europeans did to these poor people. Took their best lands. There is no justice in this world.

@ThaPhantom420  nope. stop blaming the white man. we cannot stop them from drinking as it would be deemed as racist. these people DO NOT want to work, study or assimilate. They want their cake and to eat it too. Stole their land? this is history all around the world. The abos use to steal land from other abos. They would fight over it. No difference. I am sick of this story of the bad ass white man taking their land leaving them poor. They get everything!!

[thefugitive1965]

for all those that have pity, dont be kid. I lived in Alice Springs. Abos have NO self respect and look for excuses for their own failures and blame the white man as usual. It is a big industry. 1/2 cast abos get jobs out of it, they work for Govt. organisations, jobs for cops, prison officers, courts, hospitals, Govt programs etc etc. They will never assimilate. They have been given EVERYTHING!!! pathetic and very violent people. Dont be fooled!!
