And a 4x murder rate

  Wait what? The Aborigine genocide has to figure in there somewhere. Add that in, what does the comparison look like?

    MarkMc is talking about the modern era, but if you want to talk about the past - are you that ignorant that you're going to ignore what happened to the American Indians?

      Um, the last Aborigine scalp was turn in for a bounty in the 1960's or so?

        Got a source for that? Given that Aborigines were slowly getting the vote between the 1920s and the last vestige in 1967, the idea that voting citizens were being scalped for money is supremely bizarre. I definitely want to see a source for that. While I'm not heavily into fighting for native rights myself, I hang around a few people that are, and I think that this little nugget of information would have made its way into discussion amongst all the other horrible things that have happened to Aborigines over the years.
