Here’s a quick question for those who follow Aboriginal affairs: What has received more attention in the past month—the story of the 5 year old Aboriginal boy raped in North Queensland, or changing the name of Coon Cheese because it is supposedly racist?

I find it amusing that among those Indigenous Australians who speak ill of the 'colony' and colonialism, they have practically no real experience of a pre-colonial existence. The 'colony' is all they have known yet they claim to be deprived of a pre-colonial life.
