Australia government trying aboriginal way of life

Prime Minister John Howard, of Australia, announced on June 21 the takeover of 73 Aboriginal communities in Australia’s Northern Territories. 60,000 aboriginal Australians live in these communities, 30% of the people there. By this Austrialia implementing martial law in aboriginal communities to force market exploitation and wage slavery. The Australian government are using the excuse that there is high unemplyment and low education in these communities. This in spite of the fact that the government has completely underfunded these communities, many of which were created as part of the 1970's aparthied policies. All the aforementioned travesty in the wake of the 2006 federal government amendment the 1976 land reform to open the aboriginal-controlled lands to government-controlled 99-year leases for private homes and business. The Australian government is in the wrong and the world media is ignoring this. This has been done in the US and has devestated Native American communities throught the United States, don't let it happen, again.

It's sad people don't respect contracts and private property. Public schools are mainly for the health of the state. So most Public Schools push Gov approved doctrine.

The problem here is private property, the Australian government is taking Aboriginal community property to create private property with which they can exploit the labor power of the aboriginal people. Private property is bad.

Wow, that's pretty sad that the Australian government is doing something to natives in their country that the American government did decades, maybe even centuries ago. That's pretty harsh.
