Why shouldn't we set up an Aboriginal State in the North of the continent, totally seperate from the Australian government. It could be run by Aboriginals alone with it's own military, economy and culture. They would have plenty of resources, and we Anglo's could go on celebrating Australia Day on the 26th. Everybodies happy, right?

It's the least we could do for the Aboriginals.

Good idea, then we can re-establish customs and migration points.

I know the Scots wanted to devolve from England but even with North Sea oil revenues, they were still being subsidised by them southerners, who would be happy not to pay for "Highland Flings".

So a Northern Aboriginal State,

Fine... except they must be self-funding and not an economic burden of the south.

But what will happen is one of two things

1 the North will seek investment and management expertise and the whole thing will revert to how we are today

or

2 A 'Mugabe' will float to the top, refuse "white" expertise" and run the place into the ground.

TRUTH..... a few problems.

1/ Such an act would not solve the issue for Aboriginals who have a sense of connection to southern lands.

2/ Any such independant government would make unsavory alliances with unfriendly powers to get more power themselves.

and that's the truth :)

Another troll from TRUTHNOW78, and look who's risen most readily to the bait. What's the bet that's the last we hear from the thread originator - until the next one?

Boazypork - still using your sock puppet to flout your suspension, I see.

What about the non Anglo Australians?.
Do not you know that about half population of Australia is non anglo?
IT IS A BIG MISTAKE TO IGNORE THE HALF POPULATION OF AUSTRALIA BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT ANGLO!
