When I heard the new senators introduce each other at Biden's election rally as 'black and white brothers', tears came to my eyes as I had a flashback to my experience with a very different pair of 'black and white brothers' in Australia a long time ago!

Hey Andris - I respect your post. I ask the question, What about ALL Aussies who continually have been seeking the following for DECADES for Indigenous Australians - who don't class - as you say - "black and white brothers" -

We need =

1. ALL Indigenous children attend school on a DAILY basis.

2. All Indigenous children grow up within a family unity of safety.

3. All Indigenous children grow up within a society "risk-free" of domestic violence.

4. Why do Indigenous women who are domestically violated - continue to be violated......with no action.

5. Why are children/infants violated ..... of course Aussies who care for the welfare of ALL children can't comment, as we are called "racist".... if we seek information.

Andris - Aussies are completely OVER the Black or white or the them or us.

But activists still want to segregate Australia.

What do Aussies want -

All children to attend school, attain education and look to the future.

Children didn't ask to be born - however, these children should be able to attain their dream within our society and education systems.

Oh now - of course - by posters I'll be labelled as a "racist" for this post.....which I will wear with "pride" in standing up for Indigenous Aussies and the children of our future society.

individual,

I'm not sure if that we me or the Google spellcheck. I don't think that 'peace' has a lot to do with the aboriginal question, which is more an adversary operation rather than an attempt to solve problems.

I note the author worked as Production Assistant and reporter on This Day Tonight ABC TV, Current Affairs Programme and Four Corners from 1970 t0 1972.

So I - and millions of Aussies - are asking where were you and network ABC in not seeking/investigations into continual, generational abuse of (our Aussie) children within Indigenous communities.

You state about Biden and bringing "tears to your eyes"....US lore.

What have you done during your time at ABC from 1970 to 1972?

What brings tears to Aussies eyes - in 2021 and decades prior.

1. Indigenous Children being abused.

2. Indigenous children not attending school.

3. Indigenous Domestic violence within family homes.

4. Indigenous Children - who should be at home - running around the streets. In "their words" - it's safer than being at home.

5. Why?

But hey - who am I - a voice amidst the noise of Activists - who don't wish for Indigenous children to go to school and achieve their dreams.

Australians say "hold our hands and we'll take you there".

Activists say - play the "victim" game.

Hi David you wrote - There will never be any kind of peace in the NT whilst it is awash with alcohol. Local customs are not much help either, but the dogooders down south can't see that either.

Response - you are correct, however since the Banking Royal Commission much has been exposed.

I note also with latest response to Reconciliation document to Government the person speaking on same, I didn't get her name (bummer that I didn't) a journalist asked the question basically what in this document addresses child abuse (great question from journalist).

Her response being - fluff, fluff, fluff it will be addressed later.

So Aussies DEMAND - Any document forwarded to Government regarding Indigenous Affairs (adults and children) must contain legal rights regarding any Abuse to Aboriginal women/and their rights.

In Australia we have ONE LAW - Indigenous Culture - (abuse, rape, criminal enterprise) being under ONE LAW - criminal. No exceptions.

I advise I am currently investigating same with many others in order to protect ALL indigenous Aussie children, against any abuse.

Oh - of course - my post will be sanctioned as "racist".

I continue to "stand up" for Indigenous Aussie kids - their dreams, their aspirations, in living in a "safe family environment".

Well said, SAINTS! There is not a white way or a black way just a right way! Culture is often just noise and or, brainwashed from birth (flat earther) belief.

And compounded by gutless pollies, brown-nosing to semi-white segregationists and or gormless greenies seeking to use folk and our colonial history to foment discord here?

Yes, there was a history that no amount of fruitless hand wringing or apologies will ever change! What SAINTS has proposed, will do more for our black "brotherhood" than all the hand wringing or fruitless (colour coded) soul searching

And all the stimulus over there, aimed at setting that particular ship right along with the disgraced trickle-down economics that from a democratic who, one might conclude? Has sold out to corporate America?

For Biden to talk of a black and white brotherhood is just words that are meaningless coming from a corporate Dem?

At the end of the day, will judge on results, the minimum wage and a more humane immigration/refugee policy, electoral reform!

And economic reform that resembles the depression era new deal! And a similar period of unprecedented prosperity it created! And will again if bold enough!

Let me conclude with the following observation. Can't ever hit the stumps if you're not bowling at them! Need to focus on outcomes!

Not prose, pretty words and emotive evocation!

Alan B.,

Going from the way you write I get the impression that you are an engineer.
