Australian Aboriginals are not one people eg over 700 language groups when European settlement occurred. They traded with each other and also Papua New Guinea ie ochres have been found in Sth Australia originating from PNG. What I am saying is there is no one singularly united Aboriginal voice.
When I worked at an Aboriginal community, they had very little time for your Senator Thorpe types who they referred to as "Coconuts" eg black on the outside, white on the inside. They weren't talking about skin tone, they were talking about identity and culture. These "Aboriginals" have very little Aboriginal culture about them, not their fault just the way it is. But they are the ones who relinquish Aboriginal sacred/ culturally historic/ significant areas to whitey government without the knowledge of what they actually do to their peoples heritage.

Thorpe wants to play the game as she became Senator. The game has rules. Charlie boy is head of state in Australia. She is a dickhead attention seeker whom I would not assume has widespread support in Aboriginal Australia.
