We are all migrants, like it. I'm not saying those poms didn't do wrong, and even present day people do wrong. We have apologised on behalf of the nation, said sorry! It wasn't enough, as we knew it wouldn't be. The list of greviences grew. The aborigines don't own the self destructiveness in their society, which means there are kids today in the same circumstances as the stolen generations, teenagers abused in prisons, petty crime, street offences, no go areas, dysfunctional families, sexual offences,poverty, addiction but somehow we are to blame. So the point is, if murders and rapists weren't locked up, some were, we are sorry, it would be different today. If you lost the battles you fought, sorry but sh@t happens. If welfare isn't enough, well join the millions for whom that is true
