On one hand the multi-genetic urban Aborigines proudly proclaim how much "Progress" they make in education i.e. Uni graduation etc but on the other hand they denounce the colonisaton that eventually make that possible for them. Confrontation in the very early days of Colonisation/invasion was inevitable due to ignorance on both sides.
It appears many want that to continue to happen judging by the vigour of the tearing at the scabs of history !
Just as the colonisers have changed, many indigenous have changed even more. The only thing that doesn't change is the number of morons on both sides !

There's no such thing as the "Commonwealth of Aboriginal Nations" you nauseating foolish brainwashed hate-filled ideologue.

Individual,

I haven't heard anybody both praise Indigenous university successes (60,000 graduates) AND then slag colonialism. It probably happens, some people are funny that way.

But I suspect that you have concocted that false opposition to suit your own prejudices.

Joe. Go back? Me? Well, send my heart and one eighth to Tasmania. Then send around a quarter of what remains to bonny Scotland. Around a third to Ireland. one fifth to Celtic Cornwall and the rest to Celtic Europe, from Spain to the French provinces and beyond.

[Chambermaids were routinely impregnated by "Royalty" throughout most of the above barring Tassie? But could be sent there if pregers?]

With around one sixteenth Nomadic Gypsy thrown in for good measure.

Go back? Here's the thing? If we all go back to our origins then the whole of the human race, including the Aborigines is about to head for Africa? Just not doable? Right?

By the way, nice well-informed, well-researched posts! And par for the course from your erudite, educated pen!
Cheers, Alan B.

loudmouth2,
I know some of your ilk are not keen on having a bit of truth laid out for all to see.
Are you of indigenous heritage or invader/indigenous. judging by your writings I can tell you belong to the latter.

What a complete load of pure crapola from the neo Marxists and their pet cause, the Aboriginal Grievance Industry.

To begin with, John Williams, since when did the people you call "aborigines" (whatever happened to "their is only one race, the human race") ever have a damned civilization? Please name one "aboriginal" town or city founded by the people you name as a distinct race and call "aborigines".

Next, it is laughable that you and your commie mates go on and on about "inclusion", when it it was your push that dreamed up "identity politics" which essentially means "stir up the non whites to hate the whites." "Diversity" literally means "division", and that is what your push has been advocating as a way to destroy democracy for the last 50 years. Then you have the audacity to pretend that you want "inclusion" and unity.

Fact John Williams.

If the British had not settled Australia, and it had been the Japs or the Germans there would be no "aborigines" today. If it had been the Arabs the people that you call 'aborigines" would all be slaves. If nobody had come to settle Australia, then Australia would today be yet another totally difunctional and bankrupt black state holding out the begging bowl to the rest of the world. And the people you call "aborigines" (but which I call "Australians") would, just like the Africans and Arabs, be paying people smugglers to get them into Europe so that they could live on the white man's dole.

And if it is "racist' to say that, it is also the damned truth.

My white European civilization invented damned near everything and built the modern world, and everywhere we went where we had democracies we created viable and peaceful societies that every minority now is breaking his neck to be a part of, whether we want them or to not. The people you call 'aborigines", many of whom are more white than black, have nothing to whine about at all.
