OPINION: 'The Blame Game', government and media continue to ignore Aboriginal genocide

The blame game is as old as democracy itself. In the most recent event (closure of a possible 150 remote Aboriginal communities) the government blames the individuals in the community for problems due to lack of funding, but isn't that the same as blaming a child for a bad report card due to poor public school funding.  

So why do politicians spend so much time blaming each other but never themselves, or do politicians just suck at self criticism?

REALITY:

Before this discussion begins there must be some grounding and it's healthy to start with the reality. "White Australia" has control of the land, the law and the implementation of that law. This was generated after the theft of the land an it's resources that we now call Australia.

Prior to this the Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander lived for 60,000 years with hundreds of tribes and a complex social system.
