Having been called a "wog" for a good part of my life, not to mention the attempts to marginalise me and my "dago soccer playing mates" as a kid, I can only imagine and understand how the indiginous community feels.
If there is a war in Australia, it's a war that the white anglo community have initiated, not Aboriginies, recent immigrants, Muslims, etc. In fact, let's examine the alcohol fuelled 'war' on Australia's large cities streets every Saturday night and the 'war' that has been waged against Indian origin students and Indian taxi drivers.
Before some of us poor ol' disempowered white guys reach for the Kleenex tissues to wipe away our tears - let's have a good hard look at ourselves first. Perspective, please...

POLICE across Australia are far more likely to arrest young Aborigines and see that they go to court than non-indigenous juveniles, who are considerably more likely to be let off with a warning or caution.

As a small business owner in Australia I have been "hit" a few times by thieves.
Our little old town, along with just about every other town or city I have been to in Australia, suffers from the groups of mainly 13-25 yr old males roaming the street looking for the 50 yr old drunk guy walking home after his Friday night out to rob. Or young white women they can hurl explicit, often sexually orientated, abuse at as they walk by, then typically they'll threaten them with violence when they get ignored, or when their lewd propositions are declined.
Regarding the statement above, I have found the exact opposite where I live.
Having been on both side of the law, I, a white male, was given no breaks by the local police when I was a young man experimenting with facets of life.
We were, in fact, often pursued (and probably deserved it).
In contrast, and obviously many moons since then, I have been told on more than one occasion when I've suffered financial loss in my business due to petty theft or burglary, "Well they are only kids and if we charge em it'll drag on and waste court time and they'll probably get off anyway so it's not worth the hassle. How about we give them a stern warning and tell them they are banned from your shop and we can all go home and have a good night?".
How do you say no?
Haven't had much luck in the past making the Police Forces' job harder, or more frustrating, than it already must be.

I'm sure the police would like nothing more than to be given extra powers to target Aboriginals, especially in WA. However my friends in the prison service paint a different picture of some of the poor kids in detention. I think we can all agree there are some wayward people within the Aboriginal community but there are far worse within other communities in Australian society. Not least would be thewhite fellas. There are many posting within this thread who are exposing their true colours and they are predominately white Australians. I found the treatment of Aboriginals and the attitude toward them quite disgusting in my time traveling around and I'm quite sure that if ATS wasnt so hard on racism within the forum then far more Aussies would be sticking the boot in and the racism would be far more extreme.
