On an individual level, exactly as much power as White Australians do. They could come to Central Australia and revel in their power to buy the fruits of Aboriginal labour at knockdown prices, for example. Exploit their superior access to goods and services for economic benefit. Get the cops to shift them on easier, or arrest them for various offences that non-Aboriginal people would be unlikely to be arrested for. Walk on many of their sacred sites in defiance of local Anangu community wishes (Uluru is a popular choice, with people from all over the world).
