By Dinesh Malhotra, published 18/9/2023

Anthony Albanese could end up being Australia's Mikhail Gorbachev - the man who splintered a country.

Let's talk.
200 plus years ago 'Australia' was invaded and a new group took control.
Whether or not we think it was justified is of absolutely no consequence.
Like many other things in history, it happened.
It cannot be changed now.
The people involved in it are all long gone.
No one alive today has any responsibility for the actions of ancestors.
We don't need to 'right any wrong' they did.
And consequently we don't have any obligation to any of their descendants.
Do those few persons really believe that the rest of us are going to give them extended largesse, for no good reason?
It is about time they accepted the truth.
Their ancestors should have accepted it over 200 years ago.
Their only logical way forward was to accept the new order of things.
Then we would not be having this continuing discord.

I agree with Ipso Fatso that biological ancestry should not be a basis for privilege.

We ought to respect different lifestyles and those who choose them, rather than those who chose to forsake the lifestyle of their ancestors and blended with the dominant culture.

Those of different lifestyles ought to be heard, regardless of their biological ancestry:

It is well for aboriginals who follow their culture to have special privileges, but then everyone who so wishes ought to be able to convert into an aboriginal and follow that lifestyle.

Interesting how the rules change when dealing with entitlements.

In Europe it's one set of rules, in the US it's another, and so on.
