to be treated as aboriginal by the australian federal government...
or treated as maaori by the nz government without oversight from the australian federal government?
not sure.
i think that aboriginal people were excluded from being counted as residents of australia, in tehir consittution. not sure if it was amended to inclulde them. there was an apology to htem at some point . but i don't know if that apology was accompanied by an amendendment to the constitution to say that aborigine weren't just the traditional owners - they were present owners as well in virtue of being australian citizens of australian assets.
