Aboriginal sin?
Fifty years ago, the Australian Left strongly favored literacy, health, and the assimilation of indigenes. It was a broadly sensible goal. But Left progressivism is incompatible with the romantic idealization of hunting and gathering: the one wants to go forward, the other wants to go back. As anthropological romanticism triumphed in the sphere of social policy, the Left embraced “Aboriginality” over literacy and vocational skills, assimilation was denounced as supremely evil, and Australia’s northern indigenes began their slide into the oblivion of fixed dependency—illiterate, vocationally disabled, desperately in need of help. But to intervene, let alone to remove children, is today howled down as cultural genocide.
That has been the baleful long-term consequence of the myth of the Stolen Generations. By exposing the whole matter, by refusing to euphemize unavoidably ugly issues, by examining a mass of historical data nobody troubled to look closely at before, by revealing the shoddiness of his adversaries’ research, and by realistically reducing the fanciful figures they proposed, Keith Windschuttle has placed the nation in his debt.

Is there any reason to believe that in the future, results will not prove as disastrous given the fact that at least 15 percent of the population has been lobotomised by the Green propaganda machine?
UPDATE
Good news: It appears that the Australian people have woken up to what the Greens really want, which is to destroy western civilisation and reshape it into their own image. Unfortunately other power hungry ideologies with little of the understanding, compassion and freedoms spawned by the Judeo/Christian foundations of western society would have soon stomped all over the tree huggers, but it would have probably been too late by then if they had had the chance to establish a beachhead. Hopefully the Victorian elections have created the opportunity to turn back some of the more pernicious influences the Green loons have introduced into Parliament.
