Just wonder how many of you Aussies follow the politics and scenarios surrounding the native aboriginals (I think an Aussie SAS corporal I met called them "the bloody abos")..., are they an active percentage, are they ignored?..Have they made any gains?..if so...to what do they pertain to?

Are their Aussies on either side of this question here on NS? Since I know the Australians did not go to the lengths the Americans went toward us Native Americans as far as forcing us onto reservations, I was curious as to their political, economic, and social status is?
