So the Proud Aborigine is as much a myth as the proud North American Indian?

Yeah. They're not all like that, but far, far too many. Violence,
drunkenness and sexual abuse including abuse of minors less than 8
years old is all too common. And as Oz says, breaking & entering, auto
theft etc are routine.

The NSW Govt won't touch them. In Dubbo (biggish inland NSW city)
recently there was a petition signed by (IIRC) 11,000 people out of a
total population of 60K asking for a curfew on under-12's unless
accompanied by an adult. No race specified. The aborigines had a fit -
they know it's their kids who are doing all the crime and they don't
care enough to stop them. The State Premier said that only under very
exceptional circumstances (ie, never) would an aboriginal child be
removed from their natural parents.

Gonna take another 2 generations, IMO. The survivors might then start
acting like members of a 21st Century technological society.

One of the few times I agree with Oz. There you go.....
