Aboriginals came from Africa/Asia didn't they? For centuries empires fought and took land as there own, brutal and horrific by any standards, and people settled in these lands.

WA executive linked to $2.5m scam labelled one of Australia's 'most serious' cases of public sector fraudThe assistant director general of WA's Department of Communities has been charged with corruption for allegedly stealing more than $2.5 million of public money. Public servant caught in corruption scandal. And politicians still expect trust... the mind boggles 🙄 The law should be that any Pubic Servant successfully prosecuted for corruption receive double the penalty an ordinary citizen receive. I just wonder why they get away with it for so long and the amount of money ends up so high? If it was the ATO they would be onto it like a rat up a rafter? Maybe they would not care, either?
