Prime Minister, surely there's a disconnect between apologies and realities: Australia's population, two per cent Indigenous; prisons, 27 per cent Indigenous; life expectancy, 82, but 71 for Indigenous; house occupancy, three, but 13 for Indigenous. Why? Whitefellas can drink and blackfellas can't. No blue card, so no job. Indigenous house builders are only 12 per cent blackfellas. Aboriginal lands are 21 per cent of Australia—no title deeds, so can't own land, so can't borrow money and so can't have an economy. Prime Minister: racial laws banned, locals build houses, title deeds issued, gap is closed, surely?
