What age are people expected to live in Australia?
Australian life expectancy at birth improved during the decade 1997 to 2007. A boy born in 2007 could expect to live to be 79, while a girl could expect to reach 84 - increases of three years for both. Women tend to live longer than men, and this is reflected in the differences in life expectancy throughout the 20th century. Although a girl born in 2007 could still expect to live longer than a boy, in recent years life expectancy at birth has increased slightly more quickly for boys than for girls.While Australians are living longer than ever before and continued improvements in life expectancy are anticipated, there is a good deal of debate about the extent of any further increases. However, there is no doubt that there is more room for improvement among some groups of the population compared to others. In particular, life expectancy for Indigenous Australians, both male and female, is considerably shorter than that of all Australians, ( Australian Bureau of Statistics)

What did the Australian aboriginal do to get freedom or equality?
I for one, would like to know what the Australian aboriginal has done to get freedom or equality because as far as I'm concerned, they don't have either yet. Many would (rightfully) argue that Indigenous Australians do not enjoy the freedoms and equality that non-indigenous Australians enjoy. Equal opportunity to quality, affordable housing, healthcare and education opportunities are far below the non-indigenous population. Indigenous Australians have a much lower life expectancy than that of their non-indigenous counterparts. As long as mining companies continue to pay huge royalties to indigenous populations as they completely deplete and pollute their traditional lands (many of which are environmentally sensitive), their communities and culture will be in constant turmoil and conflict: unable to live their traditional ways and yet struggling to use the mining royalties to address the huge problems of drug and alcohol abuse, domestic violence and abuse amongst their populations which are the result of 200 years of white oppression, attempted genocide and the theft of their children and lands. The historic landmark Mabo Decision seems to have had little impact on their hope for self determination and the betterment of their prospects and culture. Indigenous Australians are imprisoned at a far higher rate than non-indigenous Australians for the same offence. Deaths in custody have been the subject of Royal Commissions and police neglect, abuse and brutality against Indigenous Australians are well documented.
