Probably true, but what were those figures before white men showed up?  Considerably worse?  
Hard to out grow 60,000 years of evolution in 250 years.  They blame racism, id blame genetics. 

Infant mortality was very high prior to European arrival, infact Infanticide was regularly practiced, second born twins were killed as they were too difficult to carry in a hunter gatherer lifestyle, those that could not walk to the next seasonal hunting ground - elderly or disabled were left behind to die. Inter tribal warfare was common as was brutal tribal punishment spearing that would result in death. Life expectancy was low. 

Bazz and McBob you are both tools , FACTS www.indigenoushpf.gov.au/measures/1-23-l...other%20neoplasms%20(Table%20D1.

Mild mannered? Respecting others opinion? 😂🤣

Every cloud has a silver lining.  As one analyst said, Tony Elbows has just spent $365 million getting Jacinta elected as PM of Australia.

The amount of money spent on this turkey is digusting.

Imagine what $365 Million could have done for Aboriginal Education and Health in WA alone,,,,this highlights the stupidity of this whole concept.

What does that report (5 years of data) have to do with the significant improvement in indigenous health brought on over the last 250 years?  
Coincidently that's in line with white man medicine and medical practices rocking up here. 



 

And how about sending your kids to school instead of letting them run amok on the streets stealing and vandalising other peoples property so we might see the first Aboriginal scientist helping find new medicines and doctors to serve in Aboriginal communities???

What a quality post this is by our moderator DD in his opinion every black fella doesn't go to school and is a criminal. then says I am playing with his words   Crazy stuff.  

Dwert - its people with mentalities like your's, that are half the problem. All about the victimhood and blaming others instead of taking responsibility for personal choices / behaviour. And when faced with actual facts, you fall back onto personal insults. Heres a cold hard fact -
Indigenous make up under 4% of the total population, but make up around 30% of the prison population. Why is that? Racism? Oppression?
Ill give you a hint, its same reason as why 90% of the prison population is male, and its not sexism.

Spot on and well said Bob. And Dwert do you want me to rattle off the amount of crime I've witnessed and been a victim of in my area? And now media and police are not allowed to name the race of someone who has or is a suspect of committing a crime. Why not? What a load of shit.

But you lot don't mind mentioning yourselves when you want to blame white colonists to tell us how hard up and disadvantaged you are. Now you are turning on anyone who challenges you or has a different opinion. At least you aren't calling us white c....s like some on the streets and at shopping centres, train stations etc... I'll give you that much.

In analogy with marxists, who held that only the proletariat were able to see the social arrangements that shaped worker/capitalists relations, seems some of the colonising culture cannot see institutional and structural racism.

Yes, I'm uncomfortable seeing some of the comments towards a fellow poster on here which are outside the remit of the topic but I guess it's the old adage...we're all entitled to our opinions and if you don't like it, don't read it.

Thanks BC for your support. Sadly I have had to turn a blind eye and try not to bite all my life. Maybe I am just too old and become immune to it all or couldn't care less what others think about my thoughts.
