Without prejudice : Comments

By Bill Calcutt, published 29/6/2020

The global resurgence of the Black Lives Matter campaign reminds Australians of the ongoing disproportionate rate of incarceration of indigenous people in this country.

Individual,

What I mean is for you to actually say something
of relevance to the topic. At present you seem to be
thinking "by infection". You catch opinions like colds.
Not a good look.

So as I told you previously.

Try again.

All by yourself.

personally I would prefer far more Indigenous and other Australians did apprenticeships than useless arts degrees that often just teach pure garbage such as victimhood and 'white' privilege. They then get rewarded with jobs in HR departments in order to spread their poisonous garbage through gender diversity, affirmative action and other performance destroying rot.

Runner,

About a fifth of all Indigenous university graduates - 10-12,000 - have completed teaching degrees. Almost as many now have completed health-oriented courses such as medicine, nursing, physiotherapy, podiatry, even vet science. About 20-24 % of graduates have also completed post-graduate studies.

Of those who have enrolled in the arts and/or social sciences, perhaps a couple of thousand have by now graduated as lawyers.

Most of the rest would have graduated in engineering, architecture, business and administration, sciences and agriculture. But I'm sure if you try hard enough, you can find something there to grumble about.

Hi Foxy,

A friend sent me this article which I strongly recommend for you:

I would be very interested in any comments you might like to make on it :)

Cheers,

Joe

Hi Foxy,

Try this one:

http://webmail.internode.on.net/index.php/mail/viewmessage/getattachment/folder/INBOX/uniqueId/15036/filenameOriginal/Northern%2BTerritory%2BIntervention%2BPublished%2Bcopy.pdf.pdf

Or if that doesn't work, look up:

http://eprints.utas.edu.au/22870/1/Northern%20Territory%20Intervention%20Published%20copy.pdf

or check out

Mitchell Rolls, "The Northern Territory Intervention: The Symbolic Value of 'Authentic' Indigeneity and Impoverishment, and the Interests of the (Progressive) Liberal Left" in Coolabah, No. 13, 2014, pp. 136-155, on Google Scholar.

Actually a very refreshingly original paper.

Cheers,

Joe

Foxy,
my comment was actually dead-on to the point of your cliché quips to everything someone says that you know nothing about !
