Development

The issue in Australia is that the Aborigines (the natives to the land) have lost their land rights long ago and have been trying to gain their land rights and citizen rights for many years. Australia has changed and modernized and they pushed the Aborigines away even though its their land. After many years of trying to recieve their rights, the aborigines have finally gained some land back that belong to them and that they should have never had to give up in the first place. The aborigines in fact contribute to the economy, but in a small way, their art is very popular and makes pretty good money for the people to live off of as they are slowly coming out of poverty.
