No it's not. It never will be equal which is why Maoris and other indiginous people deserve every assistance they decide to accept.

Australia gives preferencial employment to Indigenous Australians, education subsidies and subsidised housing.

Yet this hardly balances the gross inequality against a conquered people, forced to live in and under alien cultures, value systems, lifestyles and heirachies.

The weath of the European majorities is built upon that which was taken from the dispossessed.

It never will be equal.
