Paul,

Every time you post you sound more and more like a idiot. It appears when you said "and settled as a "refugee" in Australia" you think that putting "" marks around a word makes it mean whatever is rattling around in your head.

Clearly you were simply spouting bollocks again, and the man emigrated legally on a visa. Evidently you were as pissed as he was as once again you heard only what you wanted to.

As for war crimes, perhaps you actually have evidence? Or as usually you are just lying again?

Hi Foxy,

Yes, I've known Dave since about 1981, we both worked at what became, later that year, the Aboriginal Studies and Teacher Education Centre (ASTEC) at Underdale (SACAE). He worked very closely with my wife too when she took over coordination of all of the Indigenous student support programs at the UNI of SA.

So my wife and I probably both read that paper (1994), perhaps even in draft form; she might have had some input since it was her bread and butter, self-determination and equality.

But surely not ! Surely you're not expecting everybody to remember verbatim everything they've ever read ?

It's a pity that was your last response to my sensible suggestions and explanations. I thought that maybe we might be getting somewhere (god knows why I thought that), and that you may finally take some notice of people's experiences, in addition to The Holy Written Word. Say it isn't so !

mhaze, you are a master with figures, just as you showed how 100,000 plus deaths from covid-19 in America was such a stunningly positive achievement for the Dangerous Doctor Donald.

"Around 73% of Indigenous people identify as Christians compared to around 63% of non-indigenous Australians." Take that on board when considering the following.

In 2018 the incarceration of Indigenous Australians represented 28% of the prison population, yet they were only around 3% of the total population. Combine these two facts together, and look what you find, if your Christian you are much more likely to be a criminal in jail, than a non Christian.

Did you know, in WWII more non-Jewish/Germans died because of the war than Jews of German origin. You can sprook that one at your next party meeting.

Wow. Obviously when Paul's most fondly held myths get challenged he loses whatever levels of logic he retains.

That last post was bonkers as well as showing a comical level of numeric idiocy.

Paul, the figures I quoted were directly from government reports. That they tell a story that you'd prefer to ignore isn't the same as saying they are wrong.

Here is the simple facts, which hopefully you have a fighting chance of understanding. Aboriginal are approximately 15 times more likely to end up in custody than non-aboriginals. But once they are in prison they are less likely to die than non-aboriginal prisoners.

Now I know that you don't want that to be true, and I know that the media have hid that from you, and I know that you tend to fall for every leftist myth around...but nonetheless this is what the official figure tell us.

This has been known ever since the original Royal Commission.

Legally, let alone ethically, that is not true. You use the word 'publish' and that is the crux of it. Publishing on the web is the same as publishing on paper. The author/publisher owns the copyright.

Lifting their words and passing them off as your own is illegal, let alone unethical. In the great scheme of things, its unlikely that any legal ramifications would flow. But its not unheard off for websites to be sued into extinction over this type of thing.

I've been part of this group for almost two decades and would hate to see anything bad happen to it.

Paul,

I am wondering if you finished school.

Your comment "Combine these two facts together, and look what you find, if your Christian you are much more likely to be a criminal in jail, than a non Christian." firstly comes with a huge error "your Christian" should be you're Christian.

To get to your conclusion you have to assume that Christians are incarcerated at the same rates as non Christians, both in Aboriginal and non Aboriginal populations.

I believe some villiage is missing it's idiot.
