LEGO,

I mostly agree with your last post but need to mention that "Aboriginal middle class success" is real. I visited the Argyle diamond mine in about 1997 and met a group of Aboriginal tradesmen from the Kimberley, all of whom had their trade qualifications and were earning very good money. When I asked one Aboriginal person about his circumstances, he said he lived in Halls Creek and was saving money to move his wife and children out of town as soon as he could afford to buy a house to remove his family from the crime in that town.

Foxy: It is generally well known that Aboriginal people are
massively over-represented in the criminal justice
system of Australia. They represent only 3% of the
total population, yet more than 29% of Australia's
prison population are Aboriginal.

Would that be because they commit the crimes?

Foxy: Australia's proportion of adult Aboriginal prisoners ranges
from 9% in Victoria to 84% in the Northern Territory.

Would that be because NT has a much greater Aboriginal Population than Victoria?

Foxy: if looked only through a narrow prism - one gets a very slanted view.

Yep, something I’m sure you know a lot about. Ay.

Loudmouth2: That's a stupid thing to say - how do you 'know' that Indigenous students are doing 'socialist-inspired' study?

Are they at University? Are Universities a hotbed of Socialist pushing their Socialist agenda. The Answer to both those questions is a resounding, “Yes.” Ay.

BM: the Howard government was forced to intervene and send in the army to protect children and women from sexual and physical abuse. The intervention was welcomed by most women for obvious reasons.

Yes he did & the ones who were doing the abusing complained & the City University & Redfern Rabble joind them. Ay.

BM: I support the principles behind the Uluru statement,

Oh Wow! Stopping people climbing the Rock has cut Tourism there to almost nothing & they sent a submission to the Government to get a Grants to prop-up their failing Tourism Industry. Good one.

Big Nana: I would like you to simply give some actual examples of aboriginal choice being denied.

You will just get an ocean of deflection.

CL: She also stated that Aboriginals lived harmoniously together prior to Europeans coming.

She should do some research. The Aboriginal Tribes were constantly at war with one another. Just listening to the Stories told to me by both my Grandparents.

LEGO: Corruption on self- managed aboriginal communities was so bad that the Howard government, with Federal Labour support, instituted the Intervention" policy which completely by passed the aboriginal leaders and their sticky fingers. This is why the aboriginal leaders are now demanding that there be "Recognition" for aboriginal leadership with themselves keepers of the cash till, because they want to go back to ripping their own people off. And all they had to do to get their fingers back in the till was to couch their grab for power and money in such a way that it sounded like some virtuous aboriginal need for sel- management.

Big Nana, Coming from North Queensland should know of the three (one now deceased) who ran the Aboriginal Agencies in Townsville who ripped off the Aboriginal Agencies for years. Taking it in turns to be the President & Treasure & Secretary. The moneys would go missing over years, that Agency would be disbanded & a new one started, with the same three wonderful & highly though of ladies. I actually Dated one when I was at School in Ayr in the early 60’s.

BM: group of Aboriginal tradesmen from the Kimberley, all of whom had their trade qualifications and were earning very good money.

I knew a lot of Aboriginal & Islander blokes who were Tradesmen. (Railway Workshops) in Townsville. All good blokes & ashamed of the “Parkies.” Especially the drunken old lady who would go to the Pubs at lunch time bumming for Cigarettes. “You give me cigarette. I show you my Muthoo.”.

Big Nanna

Maybe my last post will not be posted - shame.

Obviously OLO won't produce the truth "evidence" for discussion.

An issue what I dearly would have loved to discuss with you.

Shame on OLO.

Big Nanna

You are the perfect person who would have assisted in my comments.

However my post with evidence from Indigenous Banking Royal Commission speakers - will not be addressed, as to First Nation Issues.

Seriously - I am "silenced" by o.l.o. - shame on you.

What do Australians actually want -

1. No child asked to be born.

2. All children deserve education, love and family commitment in order to foster that child to aspire to their fulfil their dreams.

So what's not happening?

I'm gagged on this issue - as is the "Woke" community currently running Australia on Indigenous issues.

Big Nanna your response to Foxy -

"you keep repeating the same mantra. Can you please tell us exactly what is stopping aboriginal people managing their own lives?

Response - Please refer to recent Royal Commission in Banking for Indigenous Australians - which should advise problems.

You state - "What is stopping them using traditional medicine men and bush medicine?

My response - nothing.

You state - What is stopping them eating their traditional food?

My response - nothing.

You state - What is stopping them walking around wrapped in possum skins?

My response - Nothing, however, is this how you see any first nations people seeking a job in any society, dressed in possum skins seeking employment? - Seriously....do you really believe this.?

You state - What is stopping them running their schools the way they want?

My response - nothing. However, teachers trying to assist assimilation in order for students to learn the English language, in order to obtain their dreams and aspirations in society...are being hampered.

Would you like to tell me I am not correct?

You state _

" And you do realise that under traditional aboriginal law, rape, kidnapping, assault, infanticide and capital punishment were all legal, don’t you?

My response - Big Nanna - are you really seriously with above comment?

So the rape of any person - whether it be a child or baby - means nothing under traditional law?

Are you really serious - no child asked to be born, all children are INNOCENT and deserve to be the love of both parents in fostering, care safety and growth.

So I ask a simple question Big Nanna - what has happened in your past to state above comment.... as o.k. for Aboriginal people to be abused.
