| Abstract: | Although over the last three decades some of the gaps between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal living standards and material wealth have narrowed, change has been very gradual, has been by no means universal and, in some areas, such as unemployment levels, the Aboriginal position has actually deteriorated. It seems likely that, in socio-economic terms, Aboriginal inequality will persist for many decades to come. Inequality cannot be attributed solely to lack of Government expenditure: considerable financial resources have been devoted to the improvement of Aboriginal welfare. It is clear, however, that resources have not always been used in appropriate ways and it is argued that such misallocations will continue to occur until the underlying causes of Aboriginal disadvantage, as perceived by the Aborigines themselves, are better understood. In this understanding the land question is crucial. This paper analyses Aboriginal socioeconomic transformation in the context of control over land as a vital resource. |
