A sizeable portion of "abos" in Australia have zero abo blood. All you need to be an abo is to claim you are and have an "elder" from your tribe vouch for you. Then you get access to massive governess largess. Special programs to pay for education (and virtually guaranteed entry into what ever course you want), rental assistance and much more. Australia spends over $30 billion per year on abos.
There are supposed to be about 1 million abos (more than there were when White men arrived) and I've seen estimates that up to 300000 of them are totally fake.
Even famous "abos" like Bruce Pascoe have zero aboriginal blood.
