I know a lot about Australia.  The raids on families in the Northern territories (and else where) are taking children hundreds (thousands) of miles from their homes.<p>Children are being taken from their mothers in Aboriginal communities at a faster rate since the apology for the &quot;stolen generation&quot; than before.<p>Australian society is unfathomably racist.  On my visits there and conversations with Ozzies here (Aotearoa) I am constantly reminded just how thoughtlessly and thoroughly racist to its core is Australian society.<p>The &quot;apartheid&quot;   laws are gon.  Since 1967 (?) indigenous Australians are counted in the census, are no longer classified as fauna  and can vote.  But their settlements do not get anywhere near the same services as white settlements and in the guise of &quot;child saftey&quot; children are abducted at a great rate by the state.<p>2 minutes of searching on the net (aboriginal children Australia abductions racism) gets this article by John Pilger:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.truth-out.org&#x2F;news&#x2F;item&#x2F;22659-australia-is-again-stealing-its-indigenous-children" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.truth-out.org&#x2F;news&#x2F;item&#x2F;22659-australia-is-again-...</a>
