RE: Left Wing Political indoctrination of 5yr olds
Truth be told, they have MORE opportunities than the rest of us.
Can you expand on this ?

It's almost not true. There is a tiny tiny bit of gov funding that goes to indigenous specific programs. While they may technically have the same opportunities in law, it's certainly not the case in wider society. Just because they have the same legal opportunities doesn't mean society outside of government is granting them equal opportunity
Inter generational wealth- if your parents were dirt poor and now today you have legally all the same rights , that doesn't automatically put you at the level playing field.
This dynamic exists in various cultures , I will use an example NOT from the white australia vs indigenous Australia.
I was born and brought up in India , as you may very well know that India (within same race) has subdivisions of castes. The lowest rank on the hierarchical structure were the "scheduled castes" , now as of today according to Indian constitution every one is equal.
My ancestors were not on the top of the hierarchy but not on the bottom either , it would be wrong of me to just expect those at the bottom to stop bringing up history and just get on with it as everyone has same rights.
We can talk about what is the most efficient way to bring those folks along to reduce the gap in equality of opportunity ( not outcome) but simply rejecting historical context is outright ridiculous.
History is inconvenient ( for most of us) , not acknowledging is it not going to get us anywhere.
