didnt aboriginies own the land way before some british sailor fella decided be good place to dump load british criminals we no longer wanted,i see it as there land and we stole it off em,id be prety pi**ed off at that aswell and anything that reminds a politician there human and not everyone wants to lick there arse is all good by me!
I don't believe Aboriginals owned the land either. There is evidence that they walked/rowed here from PNG and other northern islands (thousands of years ago).
straight from wiki
"The earliest accepted timeline for the first arrivals of indigenous Australians to the continent of Australia places this human migration to at least 40,000 years ago most probably from the islands of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea."

Beside the issue of land is null and void. The british Settled here, with inferior numbers. The local population could not repel them. Therefore the british took over. Aboriginals had no technology worth mentioning as stated above. I hardly see an entire country being handed back to an indigenous population hundreds of years later, when there is evidence that they aren't the indigenous popuation.
The indigenous population as of end June 2006 was estimated to be 517,200, representing about 2.5% of the population. Thats not even enough to keep 1 City running let alone an entire continent.
If it were the case, that we should hand back the country to indigenous populations. Then most of the worlds land masses would change hands IE USA, England, Europe, Asia and entire countries would cease to exist IE Israel.
If you were born here or even if you choose to call this island home. Then you are Australian. White, Black, Yellow. Doesn't matter. We should ALL be WORKING to the same goal, a better Australia. Not carrying on like a bunch of savages.
