Australia's day for secrets, flags and cowards : Comments

By John Pilger, published 25/1/2016

Among settler nations with indigenous populations, apart from a facile 'apology' in 2008, only Australia has refused to come to terms with the shame of its colonial past.

(W)Rong Brave Sir Rhrosty

It is not too late to rename tomorrow not Austraya Day but:

White Man's Conquest Smite All Day.

Even if the sure thing Republic means First Australian President Turnbull dismisses First Muslim Prime Minister Waleed Aly, we need to get serious.

To that end and with Abject (Abbott) Apologies to Rudyard Kipling:

Take up the White Man’s burden.
Send forth your sturdy kin,
And load them down with Bibles
And cannon-balls and gin.

Throw in a few diseases
Pox, AIDS, LGB and T,
We hetero heroes
Are quite behind the times.

And don’t forget the factories.
On our benighted shores
No cheerful iron mines,
And Dick Smith shut his stores.

We no longer work eight hours a day
Poor CMFEU,
Altho they never have to pay
Bill Shorten sniffing glue.

Take up the White Man’s burden,
And teach the Timorese
What interest and taxes are
Eat boiled Missionaries.

Give them NRA assault rifles,
And prisons, too, galore,
If Donald Trump shoots em,
They spill their heathen spore.

And if you are totally confused,
By this Pete's poetry
Of gunboats rightly used
Then Rhrosty climb a tree
Like Ninja drop bears enthused.

And let us ever humbly pray
The Lord of Hosts may deign
To stir our feeble memories
Up "Austraya" beer and wine!

Poida da Great.

as I said elswhere Foxy we are to face our past just like the indigeneous need to look at their past which had ingrain rape, offering young girls to uncles, clubbing some of the disabled. Yep human nature can be barbaric. Thank God for the places that Christian teaching changed that. A fact the Christophobes hate.

Dear runner,

Don't forget What's going on in Africa -
nothing to be proud of, and child sexual
abuse should also not be ignored.
Neither the bombing of abortion clinics.,
or preaching hatred from the pulpit.
Or excluding gay people from communion
and the church, and the list goes on.

thanks for proving my point Foxy with your irrational rant. I think the hundreds of thousands of baby murderers certainly outweigh the one of two who have killed the killers.

Runner, I believe one of the 10 commandments stated 'Love Thy Neighbour '?
I don't recall any that just said 'Love Thy Christian'.
You sir, are the least real 'Christian' that I know...

as usual Susie you get it wrong. This was not one of the 10 commandments. With the horses you back Susie, I am happy not to have your approval. Now back to the topic which you followed Foxy away from
