'No sugar' text response help

[Lstar3]

So we were given two topics in class to prepare for the coming SAC this week, but I have no idea what either of the questions mean, and what I should add to them. The topics are :
 'No Sugar' is both a condemnation of white rule and a celebration of aboriginal survival. Discuss

 'for the indigenous characters, jack davis’ play ‘no sugar’ “it’ll never be over”.’ to what extent do you agree?

Any guidance would be much appreciated, as I am almost desperate!

Hey Lstar3 so both of these prompts are pretty much talking about the ultimate message of No Sugar.

'No Sugar' is both a condemnation of white rule and a celebration of aboriginal survival. Discuss

Is the ultimate take away underlying No Sugar 1. condemn white rule and the oppression, or 2. that we should celebrate aboriginal survival and all they have been through and have overcome/triumphed over.
You could go either way with this since Davis doesn't really make it clear, but your answer might not necessarily be one over the other. i.e. the play could be a combination of both a critique of white rule and a celebration of aborigines.

'for the indigenous characters, jack davis’ play ‘no sugar’ “it’ll never be over”.’ to what extent do you agree?

Due to the lack of resolution in No Sugar, it's quite ambiguous as to what Davis is trying to say. You could argue that the lack of resolution is in fact a tool used by Davis, kind of like: because the play doesn't really end, the play goes on from here and actually extends into the outside world (that we live in). That's what makes us reflect on our current society, Australia's past, oppression, marginalisation, all of the key themes in the play...
Otherwise, you can talk about "it will never be over" as in...
1. Aboriginal's fight will never be over
2. Their triumph will never be forgotten, will be celebrated for years to come
3. Prejudice and oppression towards aborigines will never be over, despite how far we think we've come, etc etc etc
