The Australian government has WORKED WITH its aboriginal population when developing resources as well as in many other areas. While racism remains an issue among many in the Australian population, the federal government has made dramatic progress in its relationships. Australia is a far more cooperative society that in North America and helping your mates and complementary businesses has enabled greater progress than the North American individualistic and adversarial approach. Cooperation always works better - refer Germany where businesses, unions and goverments work together to mutual benefit.
