I'll play devil's advocate

Yes, what we see is the legacy of settler-colonialism, and a very dark past it has been too. But legally-speaking, over recent decades, there have been dramatic changes that are still rippling through, but it's an uphill battle. Aboriginal people generally have the same legal rights as any other person here, in some cases even more (eg fishing rights and other traditional activities). Small remote towns that are predominantly Aboriginal are not helping themselves though.. seriously they need to get the booze off the streets. Whenever the authorities make a change to availability of alcohol there is always an almost immediate corresponding change in social behaviour and crime levels and family violence. And it would be no skin off my nose if non-Aboriginal people had to go without too. Alice Springs, lately, has been a powder-keg of violence and family violence that tends to galvanize racist attitudes against Aboriginal people. One relatively minor example among many reports in recent years. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-08-26/alice-springs-youth-crime-wave/104270356 I recommend this TV doco series to get a good picture of the ugly past: First Australians (TV mini-series, 2008) Watchable for Australian IP addresses, with an account. https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/tv-series/first-australians https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Australians
