David, there is no fair link to the past. The past was barbaric and cannot be brought back, rewound, played again, made fair, corrected or paid back. It was not a rehearsal. All the 19th century and earlier actors are dead as are their children and most of their grandchildren. Everywhere poured out emigrants, invasion forces, genocidal actions etc. That was the nature of competing primates at the time. So, where to from here is the only question which needs answering. Correcting the past is impossible other than in a few superficial respects. Filling Australia with people who can't run their own countries will just make a mess of Australia too. It's more important to fix the places from which they are fleeing than to reduce Australia to the same level. Fix the source of the problem. Don't try to export the problems, which will just create problems elsewhere. It is NOT unfair that Australian taxpayers and owners of Australia don't want to provide a living to anyone who figures they'd be better off bludging off what Australians have. Australians made Australia what it is today. Yes, the immigrants took it from those who were there when the Europeans invaded. That was the way life worked way back then. Maoris used to kill and eat neighbouring tribes. The heads can't be unshrunk and brought back to life. That's just the way it was. Aborigines used to kill each other. The Scots killed the English and the English returned the favour. It happened everywhere. Jay has gone to the Great Wall of China which was not built for neighbours to stand on to enjoy the view of the greener fields next door. There is no going back. Mq
