ttbn, Could have hardly put it more succinctly. Would add, we need to test the DNA component of all claimants of aboriginal heritage to ensure the devison/negroid gene is more dominant than the nederandal/caucasian gene of Europeans!

Clearly, there are rorting, blonde, blue-eyed claimants with less than a generous 25% making claims so they can buy expensive, high end 4x4s etc, using unearnt and undeserved taxpayer funds?

We need to also stop folk making claims of (nonexistent) cancer, also gaming the system!

Truth and reconciliation needs to be full, frank and fearless and tested with space-age, unbeatable lie detection!

Those found to be disingenuous mendacious storytellers, need to wear some penalties such as the seizure of their personal assets and the withdrawal of academic achievement/credentials and similar!

Let's leave them out of prisons and removed from academia! And on table waiting/pick and shovels etc. Then maybe they'll, cease and desist, STFU?

Petty stuff would be better addressed by a couple of days in the stocks as the citizenry/community hurl rotten eggs/tomatoes and a few home truths at them, as opposed to prison time! And possibly more effective in promoting behavioural change, anyway, than prison time?

And far more effective than making sacrificial warrior heros out of antisocial bar stewards/recidivist morons and petty thieves!

Really serious crime addressed with castration/sterilisation, as opposed to prison time, regardless of race or skin colour, would eliminate most if not all of it?

If thy hand offends thee?

Alan,

I think it is true that the 50/50 black/whites will always identify with half that has the most advantages for them.

Hi Alan,

My aboriginal cousin living in Bathurst NSW, she is still working part time in an IT business and she's 72 years of age. He husband a Samoan chap, now an Australian citizen, is under 67 and still working in the same job full time he's had for about 30 years. What are they doing wrong? Where is their government supplied yacht, and condo in Florida; "they're all getting it, why not Cuz, probably hasn't applied, what do you think?

This seems mostly about promoting an opinion or claim, without any credible support or evidence, masquerading as valid complaint?

'academia’s increasing adherence to the concept of structural racism'

One only ever hears of this in mainstream media, especially tabloid media targeting people ignorant of higher education, as a reason to denigrate 'elites', 'science' and 'universities' by claiming there are obsessions about gender, race or identity when it's simply some with antipathy towards the latter issues, has media access and inflates them....

targeting people ignorant of higher education,
Andreas smith,
Shouldn't that read targeting ignorant people of higher education ?

Hey Andras, thanks for reading.
