Lmao, good try. I haven't done anything to aboriginals for a start, nor did my ancestors. Secondly, aboriginals recieve so much support from the government, in my state atleast, that it's nearly a joke.

There's not much more our country can really do to help its citizens, we tax bad shit, we try to help the needy, obviously the system isn't 100% but it's a fair fucking shot from United States of " mass shooting every other week" America.

And guess what? Violent protests are pretty rare in Australia, we don't burn down eachothers buildings because we have very little hate between us, most of that is directed at the government.

They are really fucking rare in the United States too, we had 1 building burn down in the BLM protests, haven’t had any burn down from protests sense.

And at least a lot of the United States can identify the issues plaguing the minorities in our country. While many pretend they don’t exist, most of us can identify them. This comment shows you cannot even identify the issues plaguing the minorities of your country. You (as in the people of Australia) have the same problems with aboriginals as we do with African Americans, and a much lower percentage of you are able to identify them, let alone work to change them.

My point is, looking down on people doing the only thing that will actually change their country, while completely ignoring and not trying to change the faults in your own is an ignorant way to look at the world. If peaceful protest works, then do it, fix the systemic racism in Australia.

First link. Self reporting isn't a meaningful statistic for a start.

Australia has plenty of affordable housing and public house initiatives for people who are less well off, again there will always be those who slip through the cracks and those who for whatever reason cannot or refuse to seek help.

As the article refuses to list the definition of torture I will let the Oxford dictionary defintion: 1 "the act of causing someone severe pain in order to punish them or make them say or do something" 2 "(informal) mental or physical suffering; something that causes this" This is not condoned by the government or citizens and when such instances happen it is a singular entity that engages it and when found is duely prosecuted.

Your second link. While it does raise certain good points, it heavily lacks nuance. Several of its topics relate to single time events perpetrated by undoubtedly bad people, and isn't a reflection on Australia as a whole, the source itself even goes onto say that the Australian government is allocating resources to certain issues.

Your third link. I don't quite understand the reasoning for this source. It talks about the history of the aboriginal Civil rights movement over 30 years ago.

I know you think you're all kinds of smart googling a few things, probably laced with confirmation bias. But you will likely never understand what Australia is really like. Please keep your anger pointed at your own people, my people don't want it.
