I need to say a few things about gender equality esp in Australia. This is mainly regarding Aboriginal Australians that live in very isolated places or in just plain isolated communities round the country.

I've never ever seen a male or female Aboriginal on a bike & if we do, it's normally not thier bike... Footy(aussie rules footy) however is widely promoted to these folks though. Why? Quite a few aboriginal players in footy & are able to identify with the awful living conditions & struggles in the isolated communities. Easier to play & every town or community has a footy oval of some sort.

The Aust media does try & show a positive side to the grog(alcohol) addicted females but they have a long way to go before they're considered equals to normal Australian females. Even with Mr Rudd offering the apology to the stolen generation, it did offer some hope to Aboriginal women but not the hope they need.
