Summary |
This programme examines why the eligible Aboriginal single man is scarce, to the point of being endangered. Looks also at how the scarcity is making it difficult for Aboriginal women to find a suitable Aboriginal partner. The main problem is the low population rate of indigenous Australians; and eligible women seem to outnumber eligible men. Another difficulty is that a likely candidate could be related; and, of those who are not relations, many are either gay or already married. Then there are those with major relational baggage and others with children already. So lament the Aboriginal women who participate in this film |
