 Since the end of World War II, efforts have been made both by the government and by the public to be more responsive to Aboriginal rights and needs.Today, most of Australia's Indigenous population live on the east coast of Australia, where almost 60% of Indigenous Australians live in New South Wales (208,476) and Queensland (188,954) which roughly represents 2–5% of those state's populations.The Northern Territory has an Indigenous population of almost 70,000 and represents about 30% of the total Northern Territory population.
