@Jamie Nelson There is nothing to stop Aboriginals from learning how to speak, read and write proper English. Every other ethnic group in Australia has had to do so, even those from completely different cultures and who come from non English speaking backgrounds. Have a go? Remember the Vietnamese? They looked different, they did not speak English, they were the enemy (Vietnam War) etc. They set up little shops, worked 16 hours days, had their shop front window kicked in but went on to educate their children to participate in mainstream Australia. There is nothing to stop each and every Aboriginal from doing likewise or more.

When non-indigenous Australians finally understand the depth of difference in basic ways of thinking and understanding of life (such as living with rather than off the land) there may be harmony. Until then non-indigenous cultures cannot "fix" The problems of indigenous cultures. They are two completely separate worlds and require completely separate, though possibly collective, approaches. I still find it sad that most non-indigenous Australians complain about the indigenous support and use the common line "it's not our problem" or "this is 2014". It's my problem when it involves another living being, regardless of race or even species (of it were an animal facing extinction instead). One of the least 'proud' Australian things.

I hate to burst your relativistic bubble but the agoriginal issues were not created by "the white man." The aboriginals have the highest index of government health and welfare services expenditure for any ethnic group in the planet.

Aborigine elders are exceedingly intelligent, they have survived in the wild without foreign health care, whilst able to educate their communities on music, tradition and life. It is a sacred art form, which has been passed through the generations and sadly is dying out due to a lack of acceptance from the so-called developed? Many wouldn't survive a day in the outback.

3) You said some Aboriginals "make it better for themselves." But this implies a value judgement, and the social system that is most powerful (in this case technological civilization) determines what aspects it values. In this case, living in an air-conditioned box, driving a car, playing video games, working 9-5 at a job are the values of the dominant social system. This has nothing to do with what mode of living is actually "better" in terms of happiness.

@UnlimitedZap And i live in the city. I have been a drug and alcohol counsellor for ten years. Most of my clients were white Australians with drug problems. more white people have drug problems than there are Aboriginal in Australia. But i don't blame them for their drug problem. I helped them over come it. people are people. we all have problems and we all self medicate at some point in our lives. no matter what race you are.

@koala4012 That's humorous. The fact that the tribes didn't have a united language and were lorded over by the whims of unelected undemocratic tribal chiefs under primitive tribal law is nothing to boast about and is in no way comparable to the freedom peace and democracy the Westminster system of government and British law brought to our country. This nation was built on the back of hard working convicts and settlers taming this wild land, not aboriginal 'wages' because they had no currency.

why should they join such a system? thats totalitarian. lastly, if you really are comparing the degree of dominance and regulation of modern man to conditions that he has little power to control with native dominance in small groups or over women in some cases than i think you are way off base. what matters is that individuals in native conditions can express their need for power through nature (hunting, gathering, exploring, etc. etc. and without having to exercise collective power over it.

@TheSolitaryHeart Fluke or the will of God, but that's an argument for another time. The issue isn't the colour of someones skin its the advancement of their civilization, yes the best theory states European culture rose out of the middle east, but it continued evolving and growing developing such complex ideas such as human rights and democracy. The aborigines had 60,000 years and remained a totally stone age culture ruled by primitive tribal laws.

I don't think this is a very educated documentary. The filmakers really should do a bit more research into issues. Australia has spent the last 40 years building bridges between western and aboriginal society. These little towns in Australia are extremely scant. Most Aborigines live in the populated areas of Australia as equals. Typically they are of the poorest in the community but it's not something that can be fixed over night. Welfare payments that are given to help.

I don't doubt that mankind is headed for destruction. However I don't believe any social, political or any other external factors, to be the measure of a person. People are who they are regardless. I mean is criminal a criminal before or after he commits a crime? Is a person good only after he does something good or was it in his heart already? Circumstances good and bad bring out our true colours. Don't blame external factors for what lies in the heart.
