if such a tiny community can achieve something like MABO, surely it can become mainstream.
the green movement was also a very tiny minority movement to begin with, was it not.
they are hardly precieved as the dole bludging hippies destroying machines and being tied up to trees as they once were to tell a message.
and as your rightly point out, a majority of non aboriginals make up the numbers. so it isn't neccessary an issue with the population %, but moreso public support.
which re interates my idea that if they address the public perception, then things would be greater for everyone. |
