20.72 (ii) Non-Aborigineg Stereotype Australians
It might be expected that non-Aborigines in typifying
’Australians’ (i.e. themselves) would tend to locate choices
at the mid-point of each item, reflecting a spread of views,
and a lack of stereotyping. In fact, the non-Aboriginal response
stereotyped 'Australians’ on most items and showed a predominantly
favourable view.

don’t speak properly
Two stereotypes were unfavourable, namely ’drink too much', and
’don't speak proper English'. There are two areas which are not
stereotyped, namely, 'often in trouble with police∕lead law-abiding
lives’; ’often in debt∕careful with money'. On each of these issues
the greatest number of responses settled at the mid-point.
