Re: The Indigenous Australians

Poverty surely depends on whether a person feels impoverished. We judge others as poor and make them feel they are missing something when perhaps they have the right attitude for them to life. If they don't want to live a conventional life forcing them to will cause health problems and poverty but allow people to live as they wish and some of the stress and feelings on being impoverished may go away.


Having seen many of Ben's programmes and also other about tribal living etc people look to us to be poverty struck but they are often living richer lives than us. Shorter lives possibly but happier ones.
