I think it's like a dead tree that hasn't fallen all the way down, but I get the feeling that there is more to it than that.
I think someone else mentioned that here:

Hahah hilarious "drink piss, are you serious" haha..
Aussie day was unreal this year, nothing beats watching the fireworks on the city skyline from a big ass boat. It was freaking warm in West Oz and tha girls were wearing less than ever. Can't wait till next year! Happy Ozzy day to everyone else here, now where did uncle Jägermeister go..

I figured Sam Kekovich could fuck himself. Lamb's for the Brits. I had a Coat of Arms burger. We've got the tastiest native animals in the world, dammit, and I intend to eat them!
I also had a few lamingtons that my mum made, and sat around for a bit of 3JJJs 100.
And for those that want to know:
Coat of Arms burger = Damper bread, Emu patty, Kangaroo bacon (bacon being the cut, not necessarily form a pig, amazing how many people don't know that), and wattle chutney with some Coon cheese... Mmmm rascistly delicious for "Invasion Day"!
I wish there was a local beer as creamy as that

I know plenty of Abos that are doing well for themselves, but they had something to start with, and they got into Uni.
The problem is that a lot of them really do come from nothing. Seriously, conditions you see in those World Vision ads? There are places just north of Adelaide like that! The last 13 years haven't done much to help straighten it out except for sending in the army... WTF is with that!?
The money spent on that would be better spent on a little bit of training & education, and then attempting to create some sort of local economy for these outback communities.
As for the ones in the city, same as any other homeless person really. They need help to get off the hooch, a nice hand me down suit from the Salvos, and a chance at a real job (even if it's something menial... gotta start somewhere).
True Story: in the fun year that were Y2K, the few months that I worked at the bottle shop, we had a youngish Aboriginal chick constantly begging outside the store with a little sign.
Dunno if you know cause I don't know where you're from, but in Sydney, it's actually illegal to literally beg. The best you're allowed is to sit there looking dejected with a cardboard sign.
Anyway, the 2IC actually started talking to her, and after a while set her up with (I shit you not) a little wooden box and a chair so she could polish shoes and mobile phones for $1 or whatever. It helped that we were near a station.
Before I left she'd gone from being an absolute bum to sleeping in a backpackers and getting some decent food, on top of all the money she pissed away buying booze and smoke from us for her and her mates. Whilst it was similar situation, her quality of life improved, and she wasn't actually just begging anymore.
So yeah, she was asking for a handout at the start. The point is it's a matter of giving people the right one.

Point taken Harvey, I know some good standing indig's too and they are usually the 'stolen generation' or ones that have been raised by white families, at least ones that have had parents that have at least held jobs. But it's the majority of them that make peoples opinions of their race/culture. Nearly every person I know my age has been hassled or assulted by these useless thugs that the older generation of their kind fail to provide for due to substance abuse and lack of reprehension fed too freely by bloody government handouts. Lets not even talk about the cost of housing them all in jail's around oz. Here in WA every second crime you hear about is by described as an "aboriginal man of 18-24 years of age" try hearing about the grandmothers that get bashed for their $10 in change, or worse raped during home invasions. They are fuckign gutless pieces of trash that I and most people who unfortunatley have had to deal with the lowest level of human life in Australia. Fucking brittan should have done a better job.
Your right but, In this moden society where we say sorry for shit we did not even do, i guess the best thing instead of the fucking dole, would be to give them food stamps, some target vouchers and a chance to educate themself. Its already proven in places like Katherine where zero alcohol bans are in place that children are alot happier, assults are down, police are less burdened. I have just had enough of the fucking majority of them that thing they have been hard done by, then putting their hand out for more. Just fkn over it!

You guys should just do what we Canadians did and make it the day you separated from England. That way the aboriginals can't claim it's a day they find sorrowful, and all the Aussies are happy because, lets face it, who likes England? (no offense Sohan).
But that's Jan 1st here I think so we'd need to think up a new day in January to have a public holiday. Something along the lines of "way too fucking hot to go outside" day.

I think we (the germans) are the only nation in the world that shoots fireworks on new year's eve,right? It's totally quite in the streets on our national holiday since we're all sitting at home feeling guilty for the sins of our grandfathers...
