        Aggressive protesting has done a lot for the Aboriginal Elite. Unfortunately it hasn't 'trickled down' to the rural Aborigines. As my Aboriginal friend said: "The most important gap to be bridged is between the rural Aborigines and the Urban Elite claiming to represent Aborigines

        The 2 are unrelated. You do realize that $30 billion is 1,000 times more than $30 million.

        Burn everything down but are they ready to give up all the “white” stuff they were burdened with. Houses with doors and windows, plumbing, flushing toilets, hot water, bed linen, shoes, electricity, clothes, light bulbs, beer, coffee.....pic.twitter.com/6LT6XHtiL1

        They get too much money I think, and they complain like this woman because our generosity is evidence they think, of our guilt. Cut their funding, and the whinging will stop.
