A day of shame : Comments

By Bruce Haigh, published 27/1/2016

Forget pride, achievement, nationalism and the inevitable mindless jingoism normally associated with Australia Day, Stan Grant has put paid to that.

What I find really objectionable is that this bit of garbage is quite happy accepting a pension from these Australian taxpayers he so obviously despises.

What a bit of trash he is, to take this tainted dirty money from these despicable people.

It says a lot about the character of a person, when they can have their nose deeply buried in the trough provided by those he despises.

Anyone else notice how he looks & sounds just like Turnbull?

Wonder if he is any relation to Field Marshall Douglas Haigh of WW I fame, he was clueless as well?

Bruce, have just caught with your full article. Well said.
This needs to be said over and over again until we face up to our responsibilities as a nation.
The past decade or two will take a lot of living down.
Our worse sin Is hypocracy. Even worse than the countless breaches of international law.
Given what he has said in the past that he stands to let's see if Malcolm T is up to it now. Or will he be another Malcolm Fraser who leaves it all until it is too late?

Another whiney Leftie Journo, oh what a surprise. Stan is a C (CNN) list talking head, pity and laugh at him, maybe he will get a small series about his hard life (dumping first wife and 3 kids) from the ABC with plenty of well earned breaks over Xmas.

Have to say it reminds me of Goodes when he was trying to drum up another career on the back of pillorying a child last year.

There has never been a country in history
That has ever been handed back by
An invading army.

If Mr Haigh wishes to ring Aboriginal affairs
And tell them he's going to give them back the land
His house is built on and sail back to England or wherever he's from
He's welcome to. Let him set an example we can all follow.

The Japanese would now own this country anyway if the
Europeans hadn't been able to stop their invasion in world war 2

So that's twice they would have lost the country.
Do they really think Indonesia would have let them keep
All this rich land. I don't think so.

History has turned the page.
As it will for the western nations if they don't stop stupidly handing
Countries our own people fought and died for over to all these hostile refugees.

Old Man you clearly have no clue about how Aboriginal people existed before the invasion. It was not a simple nationwide collection of hunter/gathers and getting 'sustenance' from country was easily achieved. There were complex agricultural practices being done to produce foods on a continual basis. It was all observed and recorded by explorers and some colonizers but those were quickly relegated to obscurity by those who had it in their best interests to create the myth of the hunter/gather savage. A myth you seem only too keen on believing in.
