I'm with you for most of what you say. It's a hard situation in Aus because the Aboriginal people were treated like shit and there's no recourse for them. In New Zealand the Maori were treated slightly better, not much, but they did sign a treaty with the settlers and that legal document has forced the government here to say yeah the land was taken and there should be recompense, and various ideas around what the state should look like. There's push and shove on the issue, it's not perfect, probably never will be. But it seems like a better setup. Part of it is a number of reserved seats in parliament that Maori only vote for. I do think that representation and the treaty has had an impact on cultural integration and it could have had similar benefits in Australia.
