I know this was yesterday but I'll bite because I'm in the mood for a good rant.

Your notion is based on the ignorance of 3 things:

- of government policy implementation, which though usually incompetent and half-arsed (regardless of who is actually in power) has never ever just given houses and truly liveable pensions to all Aboriginals (generalisations are fun) as an apology and when they've done anything that smells like that it's usually so flawed (houses unsuited to conditions, needs and with no input from stakeholders) or riddled with caveats that they've been practically moot.

- of the complex and VARIABLE socio-economic issues surrounding indigenous people as a result of rigidly conservative, hunter-gatherers coming into conflict with the victims of British poor governance scraping out a new country under hostile conditions and incidentally consigning "the niggers" to a state of limbo whilst constructing a state of institutionalised oppression. Shit was "horrid" and as much as there's a minority that trivialises it with a victim complex, that doesn't change that shit happened and that Australian society has to actually deal with the results instead of rambling thinking Aboriginals will magically become white, middle class suburbanites and that history never happened outside of Gallipoli, Bradman's test average and Menzies' fucking eyebrows.
