    As an Australian I sometimes wonder what this place would be like if there hadn’t been genocide and institutional racism for 200 years.

      Due to the mineral wealth we don’t need to wonder much.

      Australia… or whatever it would have been named, would have been a patchwork of dictatorships like we see in resource rich parts of Africa.

      It’s actually really unusual that Australia didn’t end up that way.
