Probably more important: will it make them a better member of the assimilated nation called Australia? Probably the most difficult part of correcting such wrongs is to make the discriminated a productive and welcome member of that society.

Will this accomplish the goal? I have not a clue. But I suspect that most important objective is the ultimate intent.

The Gods Must Be Crazy is a favorite movie. The aboriginal is the only sane person as he disposes of that coke bottle. But only he (and maybe the coke bottle) knows it.
