It’s time to commemorate the Frontier Wars : Comments

By Paul Newbury, published 30/1/2014

Flannery said that in any other war, Australia's Aborigines 'would have been awarded the Victoria Cross' but the Australian War Memorial in Canberra does not even acknowledge them.

Killarney, that would be the ideal, we also need to consign the 1939-45 mythology to the mullock heap as well.
You've got to look where this is coming from, the proponents of the Black G.S.T of which the "Frontier War" narrative is an element are a mix of Aboriginal Ethno-Nationalists and what can only be characterised as Aboriginal Fascists (and as a Fascist sympathiser I don't mean that in a derogatory way).
I can accept the views of Robbie Thorpe, Sharon Firebrace or Richard Downs, in fact I'm in agreement with them but I won't put up with White Anti Whites, Anarchists and religious fruitcakes who are nothing but parasites on the Aboriginal cause.
People like the author of this article aren't interested in reconciliation, they're the weaklings and outcasts of what's left of White society who, (to draw an analogy from Joe's posts) are looking to attach themselves to another tribe because they know they can never live up to the standards of their own society.
In days past Paul Newbury and Joe Toscano would have been the ones left behind by the tribe or killed because they were undermining the cohesion of the group and to the extent that their parasitic behaviours have been noticed by the Aboriginals they are rapidly spreading their toxin to their new hosts and turning broadly sympathetic Whites away from reconciliation with their Anti White slander.
They say they are Anti Racist, what they are is Anti White, Anti Racism is just a code word for Anti White.

Hi there JAY of MELBOURNE...

I'm not quite sure when you say the RSL 'allow' former enemy combatants to march on ANZAZ Day ? My friend, the RSL is no more than a big club of ex and serving members of the Armed Services. While it's true they tend to organise the March in the various Cities, the question of 'allow' is patently incorrect ?

If an individual is a legitimate veteran of Australia or it's allies, that individual does NOT need permission from the RSL in order to march. I'd dearly like to see any RSL official try to stop any Vietnam Veteran or any other Veteran, march if he so wishes ! The RSL does NOT speak for all Veterans, only those who belong to the League.

There are occasions where the RSL tend to get a 'little bit big for their boots', and there are many, many Veterans, who have little or no regard for them whatsoever !

Including some Korean War veterans who were not allowed to join the RSL because the Korean War "....was not a real war".

Good afternoon to you IS MISE...

I know, I know, my friend ! A disgusting piece of work for sure ! Similar to the Vietnam Vets, the Malayan Emergency, the Confrontation ! From what little I've seen of the Korean War, a terrible price paid for a war without a declaration of peace ! Merely a cease fire ? Still, that maniac in North Korea, is still provoking the US and it's allies ?

Take care IS MISE please.

O sung,
Apologies for the late reply but I hit my post limit on this thread.
From 2006 Turkish veterans were able to participate in ANZAC day, though I've no idea how many did or if any are even still alive, it seems unlikely but perhaps their relative march on their behalf.
The RSL has also been criticised for their link with the NVA veterans association, there was a paper written by a woman named Natalie Nguyen on the Vietnamese veterans living in Australia but I can't find it online so I'm at a loss as far as making any further observations on the subject.
I may be mis-remembering the story of the NVA veterans marching but aside from evidence of ARVN veterans participating in ANZAC day I can't provide any more information on Vietnamese veterans.

Good afternoon to you JAY of MELBOURNE...

Thank you again for your 'heads up' on the proposition that the RSL may be considering whether or not to permit North Vietnamese Regulars to march on ANZAC Day ? If this is the case, it is hoped the RSL have sufficient sense to canvas the views of ALL Vietnam Veterans within their membership, if they wish to allow such a thing ?

Once every single Vietnam Vet. is gone, perhaps then, in the interests of peace and reconciliation that may be OK, but 'NO' not while one single Vietnam Vet. still lives !

Thank you again JAY, I appreciate your information.
