1. Chestermen 2005 notes that there was a l sense of guilt on the part of non-Indigenous Australians, because Indigenous Australians are so badly off today in such a wealthy a country as Australia. Additionally, this is a situation that few would disagree has come about to a significant degree because of historical injustices.

Tonkinson and Howard 1990 note there is no reason why Aborigines can’t be given control over their income regardless of its origin and definitely without the requirement of having to get that income from their own land. Tonkinson and Howard 1990 quote “It is not then self sufficiency which is the essential complementary ingredient for the successful establishment of a system in which Aborigines can determine their own affairs, but rather the provision of the opportunity for them to control and direct resources according to) their own priorities.” (Tonkinson and Howard 1990,
