Praise seems beside the point – non-Indigenous people aren’t ever going to disappear en masse from the country and nobody expects them to. So the idea must surely be a belated agreement that recognises and factors in Indigenous demands + offers an actual say in how the country is run, particularly regarding traditional lands and communities. NZ seems to be the ideal model here. _________________ All watched over by machines of loving grace |

I'd be very careful about adopting the Kiwi model, there's some serious differences in the situation. For a start, the Maori tribes are far more homogenous than the Australian Aboriginals.
You could use it as a starting place maybe. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Can you give some examples of how they get more of a say? _________________ The beatings will continue until moral improves. |

It’s not really for me to say, but some random ideas off the top of my head might be dedicated Indigenous seats in parliament (as per NZ; in our case perhaps it could be an additional six senators, one for each state, that only Indigenous people vote for); local authorities that governments must consult with and agree with before making decisions specifically related to, say, remote communities or Indigenous people more broadly; perhaps some form of reparations; and the capacity for the establishment of autonomous regions as exist in the US and Canada.
In any case, this would probably be a good place to start:

Thanks for that. I'll get across the detail because it's something I should know more about. _________________ The beatings will continue until moral improves. |
