AI Summary
This essay explores the historical context of indigenous representation in Australian society, focusing on the pain, antagonism, and inequality that have characterized the relationship between indigenous and non-indigenous people. It highlights the systematic exclusion of indigenous Australians from citizenship rights, voting rights, and social security benefits through discriminatory legislation and administrative practices from the early 1900s to the late 1960s. The essay argues that these historical injustices have contributed to the marginalization and social incongruity experienced by aboriginal people in contemporary Australian society. It concludes by emphasizing the need for governmental measures and a more welcoming mindset from the white Australian population to foster a sense of belonging and adequate representation for indigenous people in Australian political and social life so that they can identify with the Australian mainstream.
