there is a 20 year difference. If you were to restrict these statistics to the outback they would probably be even worse.

What is the life expectantcy in Australia?
better than 81.4 years if you are white. Aboriginal people generally live up to twenty years less than non aboriginal Australians. their life expectancy is so low because Aboriginal health standards in Australia are now so bad that 45% of Aboriginal men and 34% of women die before the age of 45. 71% die before they reach the age of 65.
How much less does an aboriginal Australian live on than Australians?

When did Aboriginal people become recognised as Australians?
One theory, "The Replacement Theory"suggests that modern humans who lived from before 150,000 years ago to possibly less than 10,000 years ago in Africa, radiated out into south east Asia and then into the rest of the world via land bridges. At least 60,000 years ago seems to be the best guess.
Why do Australians fight wars for other countries?
I know of no evidence to suggest that Australians as a people act as mercenary soldiers any more or less than mercenary soldiers from any other nation, and probably less than most. The exception is UN troops, as Australia is a member of the UN. UN troops go where they are sent - they understand that going in.

When did aboriginals get to vote?
It is a popular myth that a referendum to change the Australian Constitution in 1967 gave Aboriginals the vote. What the referendum actually did was to remove a provision from the constitution that excluded Aboriginal people from census figures which in turn were used to calculate the distribution and boundaries of electorates. This constitutional revision was required to correct the anomaly that while Aboriginal people already had the vote they were not included in the calculations used to make for electorates with approximately equal numbers of voters.Australian Aboriginal's right to vote varied from territory to territory with some (including women) having the right to vote (though rarely exercised) from the 19th century. Federal legislation in 1949 and 1962 formalized voting qualifications for Aboriginal people and with the State of Queensland introducing legislation in 1965, all Australians of Aboriginal descent then had full voting rights in all parts of the country and were able to vote in the referendum that supposedly 'gave them the vote'.See this article for full details:http://www.aec.gov.au/voting/indigenous_vote/aborigin.htmThe myth that Aborigines gained the right to vote in the 1967 referendum is perpetuated by lazy and inept journalists and to a certain extent by the consent of a ruling class that likes to pretend that Australian society is less racist than it is. It has been conjectured that a popular referendum to actually give political rights to Aboriginal people would not have passed.
What beliefs do Australians have about Christmas?
Australians believe the same as most other nations founded on Christianity. Christmas is a celebration of Christ's birth but, in many cases, this celebration has been overwhelmed by the greater call of materialism. For many, there is less focus on the Christian elements of Christmas than there is on the commercial and business side of it. Australia's multicultural nature has also contributed other customs and beliefs.
What impact did the British empire have on australia?
Britain was the main colonizer of Australia, starting with the penal colonies it established on the coast. British colonizers wiped out much of the Aboriginal culture and killed many of the Aboriginals, replacing their culture with British culture. As a result, the Aboriginal cultures are less prominent than they had been historically, and most Australians use a version of British language, law, and ideals.

Why is recycling such a concern? Recycling is a concern because Australians use 3.5 million tons of paper every year, and less then that is recycled. (That's only Australians, imagine the world!)
