'Help for you is torture for them. Happy for you is sad for them. Right for you is wrong for them. Forest for you is home for them. Savage for you is you for them. And half-caste for you is Aboriginals for them. They are a race, and so are you. They have their own believes, and so do you. They have their own rights and wrongs, and so do you. They have their own language, and so do you. They have they own freedom, and so do you. They are people, and so are you.'

The British invaders should feel disgusted about the things they did to the First Australians. Going to their land and taking it away wasn't enough, was it? Is that why you have to try and 'help' turn them into a monster like you are, it's wrong! To take one's race and force it to turn to another one that is against their believes is not right. What you have done was destroy the peaceful land that was there before you ever came to take it away. It's true that one of the explorers, Captain Cook did claim the land for the British but isn't there another way than to just shoot the Aboriginals as if they were heartless creatures, because it's not true that they don't have a heart. The First Australians have their own hearts but somehow you just went in there and took it away from them, there was no connection, no communication, just a 'bang' and you can start to hear the people mourn. Why did you it? You turned their lives into something terrible, and you still call it 'help'?
