Do non-indigenous Australians, individually and organisationally, have to apologise time and time and time again for the perceived historical treatment of Indigenous Australians?
Is compensation for perceived wrongs toward Indigenous Australians being rolled out time and time and time again?
Is there seemingly no end to the huge amounts of money paid in recompense terms to those who were here before us?
Is money often paid as royalties wasted by splurge spending, meaning benefits it might bring, are quickly dissipated?
i am fascinated by the similarities between australia and the us. in this case, your question would relate to black people whose ancestors were held as slaves. do reparations really make a difference? is there still systemic racism in our country? (clear yes or no depending on who
you ask) Are we headed to war? One difference seems to be aus isn’t as well
prepared for armed conflict whereas we spend absolute billions on our war machine. at the expense of social programs and feeding the hungry and housing the homeless.
I believe money cannot compensate for a wrong done
