Although the position of the Aboriginal in Australia is now much better than in the times of colonization in the XVIII – XX centuries, the indigenous population of the country still continues to infringe in rights. In a conversation with “Tape.ru”, Professor of the Australian National University Peter Kowanski accused of indigenous state of the Australian government.
He admitted that the aborigines are no longer subjected to ill-treatment, but still remain the poorest and socially unprotected part of society. Moreover, their position is aggravated.
According to Kanovski, this is due to the reluctance of politicians who manage the country, save the aborigines. The professor believes that the conservatives that the last eight years are managed by Australia, do not consider work with the indigenous population with a priority direction. In addition, they slow down initiative initiatives and assistance to Aboriginal.
According to the study of the University of Monash from May 2021, cultural and political discrimination against aborigines are growing in Australia.
Problems of national minorities and indigenous peoples in the West have become one of the important topics of the project “Renta.ru” called “The Problems of the First World”. Materials are combined with the theme of the crisis of liberal values in the Western world and split in society. They are talking about how the ideas of freedom and universal equality turn into a tool of oppression, and the struggle for the rights of some groups of people turns into the placelessness of others.
