“If a Martian came here and read the local newspapers, he would think every Indigenous person was a lay-about drunk who beat their wives and abused their kids.
“I would ask people to find out more about Indigenous Australia before they pass judgment. Many, many Indigenous people are succeeding and achieving great things.�
Professor Mick Dodson AM, Reconciliation Australia Board Member and Director of the National Centre for Indigenous Studies
