As an Aboriginal man who's grandmother was stolen, I think we really should just bridge this divide and move on as one country.
We certainly also need to bring living standards up for everyone to be equal though.

I hear you there. Limit the number of houses someone can own and tax the hell out of all investment dwellings. Let's make this place even again

How do you get someone who lives in the extreme remote wilderness of Australia on purpose equal to someone who lives in a modern city?

Provide opertunity, there's always going to be hold outs but we take away royalty payments send that money to the community tax mining apropoatly and provide jobs.
If you don't want to share in modern Australia and all it uas to offer then live your traditional life but don't come in wanting bits and pieces.
We're all here together so let's act like it

Because were fucking human. Do you consider farmers less equal? Or are some that live extremely remote more equal than others?

they have less access to food, jobs, internet, hospitals, entertainment, etcetc

One might instead ask what happened to all the people who lived where our cities now stand?

Kids are being removed from aboriginal parents (due to neglect) now at a far higher rate than the stolen generation ever was

The day I see as many statues, events, holidays, cookies, clubs, parks, etc about aboriginal sacrifices as I see of military worship is the day I'll think this country is sane.
Or ignore one issue, as it's done, and forget about the other one too.
