Whilst serious wrongs were done in the past, today is today, and everyone must be treated equal. Anything else is just racism, no matter how you try and camouflage it.

If only it could be true, that all are treated at equals, but alas, reality intervenes and it is not. I was at a taxi rank recently and progressed easily from no 5 in the que to no 2. However, the new, number 1 was an Indigenous man and the next 2 taxis slowed, looked and then drove away.
I have also heard many stories of Indigenous people having trouble renting a property.
Our democratically Government through positive discrimination provides assistance to people who are disadvantaged and/or have a history of being downtrodden, and that make me feel proud to be an Australian.
