It was a good test how we feel towards the aboriginal people the equality and quality of living which I learnt .but I was very distraught and very upset seeing the turtle how it was killed tortured and suffered the pain u was in tears. I hope they should stop killing them. How beautiful the creatures being so happy in the water. I am very fond of turtle since I was very young age. It was so upsetting when I saw it. That’s the only thing I criticized part of your program. Why did u have to show on air . am really disturb.
Well i ate to say, our aboriginal people was brought up on this land to hunt for there own tucker and that’s y some of our people r health and wise and have a big heart of gold,

Firstly- NITV is THE best station for its real and so educational, secondly really enjoying this series and the first people dealing with such fools ( as the racist Australians ) with such understanding and empathy cause none of those racist Australians would ever be welcome at my house, I simply do not have the patients for disgraceful uneducated fools such as these racist so-called Australians. Also – about the turtle kill – this was not torture, counted to three and it was all over for the turtle & what a good feed it would had been, far better then any animal from the local supermarket ! Those racists should have coughed up some $ to pay there way 4 food and shelter, they are free loaders!! The lady said it best to “boe” – she is selfish and so were the others attempting to insult Aboriginal people, how heedless is the racist , the racists are meant to be adults and obviously all had a questionable upbringing. Oh and another thing – the socalled Australian government oughta finance these communities for housing and so the kids can continue to go to school without preassure on those schools and there familes and Aboriginal language should be taught in every school and stop locking Aboriginal people up in jails – for that is a far worse crime then what most people are doing!! Respect Aboriginal Land and Aboriginal culture
