they have quite alot !
They get extra payments from the government , the kids get paid to go to school . if they want a brand new car , all they have to do is pay the first payment and the government will pay the rest .
Aboriginal kids at school , dont have to pay for anything , school books , uniforms .. even there lunch .. all they have to do is go to one of the teacher and tell them they have nothing .. and boom its handed to them on a gold platter .
I thought this was supposed to be a equal nation .. but the Caucasian ppl seem to be left out ..
the government is being racist against the Caucasian and other races .
Pauline Hanson had the right idea .. everyone should get the same benefits / privileges , it doesn't matter what race you are .

    I dont know the specifics. But I know they have a lot of help in education. Whether that is actually taken up, I dont think so. Australia is still trying to get it right.

    If europeans hadnt come to Australia and ruined their culture with alcohol, then we wouldnt have the problems we have with them today. I suppose its a no win situation until something else can be thought of. Aus offers many priviledges to them, but they do not want to adapt to western way of life.

    They get it pretty good because they are Aborigine. They don't have to work if they don't want to, they breed from a pretty young age and get paid a baby bonus to do it (so do white Australians), they are provided with good cheap housing which a lot of them vandalise and wreck and a lot of the time the police turn a blind eye to their crimes and they cry racial prejudice when things don't go their way.

    They don't need a tee score to go to uni!

    very unfair!

    and they get paid to go to school,


    and they say we are racist Lol

    would love to see what will happen to them if the Europeans didn't arrive, i'm guessing they would have been history by now!

    Abstudy,
    Royalty payments from Mining companies if they mine on your traditional lands.
    Private companies have an agreements to tarin and find jobs for 50,000 unemployed aborigines within 2 years.
    Aboriginality is a legitimate selection criteria in many government jobs and if not you'd get a few extra points on the celection grading anyway.
    Redress WA payments of upto $40,000.00 for stolen generation.
    Consultation fees under the Native Title Act if your Traditional Lands are to be used or are being used by Govt or Private companies.
    Easier pathways to get you into Tertiary studies and to keep you there.
    There are some good jobs on Aboriginal Land Councils and lots of money are spent on them without any real accountability.
    Free medical programs for eye diseases, renal care etc.
    Remote housing subsidised.

    All these are usually only to redress some inbalance, past injustice or another.
