What's funny is:
c) Not only am I an Australian, I'm Murii (Indigenous Australian Aborigine to you foreigners).

What's funny is,
there are no Murii tribes in Australia, for someone trying to point score its a good idea to actually name the tribe correctly that you claim to belong to. If you are referring to the Murri tribe from Queensland area then your Elders would not be to pleased you do not know who you belong to if in fact you are actually an Aborigine in the first place.

Yes, I should proof read my typing better before I click that post button. As I'm sure you know, there is no Murri tribe in Queensland, there are/were many nations, each with their own language and lands that are/were collectively known as the Murri people. My grandmother was taken from her mother when she was a baby and raised at a mission school. As a teenager, she was sent to work on a station near Charleville where she married one of the stockman, just as WW2 broke out. He joined the army, but never came home. My Gran moved to Brisbane with my mom and aunt, who were still babies, which is where they grew up. She has no knowledge of where she was taken from, or who her people were and died in 1976 without ever finding out.

So, to answer your question, no, not every Murri or Koori in Australia knows his heritage. But I'm sure you know that to. I don't speak any of the native languages, neither do my parents. Mum is a nurse and dad was in the navy all his life until he retired a few years back. I was raised in Brisbane. Went to catholic schools, and then to QUT. I made no claim to being a member of any tribe, don't know why you imagined I did.

As for your 'if in fact you are actually an Aborigine' statement, there is a photo of me I posted on our forums a few months back you can take a look at to satisfy your curiosity. Or just ask any of my corps mates, they'll tell you how handsome I am, and, how long ago I posted the photo. Wouldn't want you claiming I just cut out some picture from a magazine today to post on the forums.
