[QUOTE="Bradskii, post: 77662690, member: 412388"] My apologies. I should have read that. But I think we [I]both [/I]think it's absurd, which is the point I was making. If anyone put that forward as an argument is any form of racial education in a school or business then they should be taken to task. There is obvious embarrassment for any group where it is shown that they discriminate against a minority. Australian society is no different. What we have done - and haven't done, for the original inhabitants, is shameful. And we are to be held to account for it. Righting the wrongs would go some way to reconciling our stated position and our actual one. We'd obviously feel less guilty if we'd done the right thing initially. And I can imagine someone (even a government) thinking 'this doesn't reflect well on us so we need to do something'. But to suggest that we'd do it specifically to benefit ourselves is a pretty desperate interpretation. In any case, what would be the solution? Do nothing? It's a crazy position to take. [/QUOTE]
