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

I suggest some of you here should read pilger's - a secret country
It s often difficult to see exactly how our Aussie culture puts its head in the sand
On so many statistics our treatment of indigenous Australians not only in the past it in the entire world is the worst in the world.

They are an amazing people and culture which we have systemically patronized and denied any dignity too. I am ashamed of myself and us.

Yebiga. If you believe a lying clown like Pilger, you would believe anything.
As I said, above, he particularly likes lying about aborigines.
If you are out of dunny-paper, a copy of "a secret country" might be handy.
