Australia set to recognise Aborigines as first people of continent

45. Old thread, but...

First, let's hope the referendum passes. The 19 "experts" were all in complete unanimity
and God knows it's only time.

But along with pointing out the horrible inequities and injustice, towards the elder population,
someone should point out that quite a few of the newcomers to Australia (just like quite a
few of the original settlers in these United Colonies) were convicts from the Old World.
Unwashed, undesirable and unwanted at home.

And that imbalance and injustice STILL hasn't been corrected. In the U.S. at least (don't
know about other countries), send out a resume or fill out a job application and if you have
a small felony on your record, or the farthest you got was a GED, a majority population
person is still more likely to get the job (or interview) than someone with a degree, whose
name clearly identifies them as being from a minority population,

When are they going to put up a referendum on that?
