When people talk about there being "good intentions", what they omit is that it is because the perpetrators actually thought that eradicating aboriginality and aboriginal culture WAS doing good, even if it came at a cost.

I don't really buy the idea that child services are lax in taking children out of care because of the Stolen Generations. I think its mostly because they don't have anywhere better to put them.
