[QUOTE="sanzar, post: 203116"] Ginger, if you haven't ever been to Australia then wouldn't you say it's more than a little foolish and inflamatory to brand us all as racists because we "haven't embraced the culture of our indigenous community". That statement alone branded you as a no-nothing to anyone who knows anything about Australian and New Zealand history, so you were always gonna cop it... surely you must have known what was coming. Anyway though, the Aboriginal community is in many ways our primary problem, but it's highly conflictual because do you force them into wider society (where a lot of them just don't want to be) or just give them land and kind of leave them to it? The issues with the Aboriginals are far more complicated than most immigrant issues. We landed on them afterall, they didn't land on us. So no, you don't have people living in "garbage dumps", but in general we have a far lower crime rate and a higher level of integration with immigrants than GB (I'll look for a source for that if you really want, but I'm busy writing an essay right now, so the only sources your going to get from me today will be on whether torture can be justified in the war on terror :P ).
