I would not say that Sunfish has been misinformed.
He is just one of many city people that draws conclusions from media reports about the aboriginal situation. He has obviously (unlike many others here) not experienced the Kimberely or an aboriginal community for himself.
I find it is the people in large cities that often have such a sympathetic view towards the aboriginal plight and yet most have never even had a conversation with an aboriginal in their life! The top end is another world and unless you have experienced it people in cities just dont know what really goes on.
