Very well said, although I dont agree with you in a few circumstances. I think we can agree that what did happen must have been terrible to those that were taken away from their cultures, and placed in "White Australia" to act as nothing more than slaves, perhaps even guinea pigs for some sort of grand cultural experiment.
But when it all boils down to it, as far as I am concerned, none of them deserve any money, neither culture. As terrible as things might have been money isnt a sollution, it's a quick fix to make everybody content enough to shut up, and thats no sollution as far as I'm concerned.
Give the money to starving kids in Ethiopia, or anyone feeling the effects of drought, poverty and any other intolerable state of suffering. That would be money well spent.
