Does Australia still have issues with the Aboriginals? Is there any running separatist movement there, or are they provided the American/ Canadian equivalent of Indian Reserves and First Nations?

No real separatist movement but there are certainly issues. The most radical of the indigenous movements want a treaty, but really most just want access to a decent standard of living and realise the best way to get that is to work with other Australians to resolve the problems that still exist and to find solutions.

As an Australian, I have to say this photofit does not, in my view, particularly resemble an Australian aboriginal.

He doesn’t look aboriginal much, more like Indonesian.
