Reply to Alan B re "fools who actually believe management with fire has even a grain of rationality".
Australian Aborigines established the most durable culture the world has ever known using the firestick. Whitefellas stuffed it up. Now we have dying trees, booming scrub, pestilence and megafires. Hundreds of people have died, thousands of homes have burnt to the ground and millions of animals have been incinerated because of academic, bureaucratic and political "rationality". More fool you Alan BS.

In another thread Belly asks about changes we have witnessed. Well, I have experienced coming to a lucky country with a clever population, alas !

Thank you for your contribution, Diver Dan.

After reading your post three times, I could not figure out what the hell you were talking about.

Try writing in specifics instead of amorphous implications.

We of the "left behind", are progressively consumed as prey, and rendered excrement to be consumed by the dusts of time, transmuted to silence, in a world of ghosts.

diver dan,
True but Self-inflicted ! They were making everything worse for all by trying to get the bigger slice of the cake just for themselves ! Inevitable outcome really.

Individual and Lego..

And I thank you for your time, and you thank me for mine...

"People like me, we are indigenous to nowhere".

Unless you were born overseas, you 'occurred' in Australia; you are a native of Australia; you are just as 'indigenous' to Australia as anyone else, including Australians of aboriginal descent who are now seven generations removed from the continent's original inhabitants.

There are two clearly mis-used words: aborigine and indigenous. Aborigine, wrongly written with a capital 'A' except as the first word of a sentence, is a common noun (common nouns are not capitalised) describing the original inhabitants of ALL and ANY countries. There is nothing particular or special about Australian aborigines who no longer exist; after 230 years, they are dead and gone. And anyone who was born here is indigenous.
