AnswerThe war had a great effect on the place of indigenous people in Australia. Large numbers of men and women joined the services or worked in war industries they received greater training, pay and social contacts than many had had before. For many non-indigenous Australians this was their first real contact with Aboriginal Australians. Many indigenous people also had contact with black American troops in Australia, and saw them with skills, money and a greater sense of civil rights. Indigenous Australians were treated with great respect if they went to war. AnswerErr...some were mostly put into internment camps in fear that they would assist the Japanese in the invasion, because they had been treated to badly.

That's the fact.

Some went and fought the war for their country. But they usually had to lie that they were from another nationality because they couldn't get in being aboriginals.

~they couldn't even find decent jobs, they had to pretend they were white for a living (usually).

What are problems in Australia?

Unfortunately, many and varied. To begin with there are MAJOR health and education issues, that are recognised but not addressed. In Central Australia the average mortality rate is 43, a mortality ratethat dates back to 200 years ago. Chronic health problems including; alcohol abuse, drug use, malnutrition, descrimination, police brutality, rape, and assault are regular issues the average Aboriginal population face on a daily basis. Australia is one of the select few countries of having the most unfortunatereputation in the world as have very nearly commited genocide with particular tribes of the Australian Aboriginal population. Our current government the 'Liberal' party's head, Prime Minister John Howard has consistently denied an appeal from the Aboriginal people to recognise the struggles they faced during to and up to the 1970s of something known as 'THE STOLEN GENERATION'. This is where the children of Aboriginals where taken from their parents and forced to intergrate into "WHITE SOCIETY". This created numerous and long term problems for both the children and parents. A recent movie ' Rabbit Proof Fence' outlines some of these issues. Unfortunately the Aboriginal population still struggles with the multitude of mistreatment from their forced, superimoposed society of the Western ( particularly English ) Society.
