Not all of them, but if you saw how they behave, how lawless they are, the crimes they commit in their communities..... you'll understand.

Not long ago on the news there were reports of family members raping nices and nephews who were very very young.....this is not the actions of civilised people, I dont care what anyone may say!

Our government gives them alot, way more than they deserve and more than they'll ever appreciate. They get housing for free, they get medical care, they get social services, hell, they even get new landcruisers from the government....and what do they do.....?????

They Trash, smash and burn everything.....and thats not because of the alcohol, this is happening in "Dry Zones", where is prohibited to even bring in any alcohol.

Those that say, we should leave them alone....yeah, in many cases we have, thats why they have turned so feral....now with Government intervention they are trying to stop these aboriginal communities destroying themselves.

More complicated than you may think.

I just wanted to say, this is the kind of thinking that is keeping us (society) where we are! How on Earth are we supposed to become a better society, a better world, if people keep thinking like this!? Don't we all want peace? Maybe instead of picking out other people's faults and judging them, we should be trying to find solutions? And yes, it is more complicated than you may think.

A lot more than they deserve huh? Tell me, what do they deserve? Do they deserve to have their children taken away from them? Do they deserve not to be able to vote? Do they deserve to have their culture taken away from them and be forced to assimilate into white culture? Do they deserve to have their basic human rights taken away from them?....

How do you know what they deserve? Why do you think you should be the one to judge? Do you know exactly what they have gone through, what they're feeling, what they're thinking, what their problems are? Or do you not care? Is it just easier to call them ferals instead of wanting to help them sort out their problems and help them overcome the position that they're currently in and better themselves? Going around saying what people deserve is not a good habit to get into.

You know, I happen to be an Indigenous Australian and I really object to what you said. And fyi, I would also object if someone were to say something bad about "white" people that would be deemed as racist and uncalled for, just like I would for any other group of people. I just want to ask, if there were a group of "white" people acting the way those Aboriginal people (whom you call ferals) act, would you call them ferals too? Or would you call them by a different name? Considering that it's obvious that the term "feral" implies someone or something that is wild or "untamed", which could be seen as racist, if you know what I mean.

Seriously, all of us as humans have got to face up to the fact that we're all on this Earth together. We have got to stop blaming each other and trying to put each other down. There may not be things we like about others, but we can't let that be the end of it. We've got to find a way to get along, we've got to start helping each other. Each "race" has to stop thinking that they're better than another.

Although I'm not saying I agree with how things are now. Imo, I think Australia should stop allowing immigrants into our country until we can find a system that's going to work. And I definitely agree that people who come to this country really should learn English if they want to live or continue to live here. It just makes sense and it makes everything else a heck of a lot easier. I think we really need to become more strict in who we allow to come and live here, but at the same time allow them to live the way their culture/religion dictates AS LONG AS it doesn't go against or interfere with our laws and way of life.

Just my opinion....
