Aboriginal Elder Mirje Kurra was asked by a white government official, 'You have observed the white man for 90 years. You've seen his ways and his technological advances. You've seen his progress, and the damage he's done.'
The Elder nodded in agreement.
The official continued, 'Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?'
The Elder stared at the government official for over a minute and then calmly replied. 'When white man find this land, blackfellas running it, no taxes, no debt, plenty kangaroo, plenty wombat, plenty snake and lizard, clean water.
Women did all the work, Jiklie (medicine man) free. All man and boys spend all day sleeping and eating; all night dancing corroboree and having sex.'
Then Mirje leaned back and smiled. 'Only white man dumb enough to think he could improve system like that.'
