and after Rudd gave it none of it happened.
SteeleRedux,
None of it happened ! Are you for real ?

Der Indyvidual,

Of course I am, which is why I said it and why I quoted someone who was there.

What do you have?

What do you have?
SteeleRedux,
I have witnessed the growth of token Public Service positions at great expense & social cost to to all of us. It has given rise to activism which has led to the Voice, again at great cost all round.
I have witnessed the leniency in judicial matters leading to increased juvenile crime, also at great cost to all of us.
It has created increased wastage of funding for token projects. Health costs have also sky-rocketed due to token health care etc etc.
If you consider yourself as having the integrity to accept the evidence all around you then you should accept also that when it was said "An apology was all we want" has proven to be not so !

Dear Indyvidual,

What a load of hogwash.

Did the Black fellas get a bit uppity did they?

So nothing to do with the fact that when Abbott got in he stripped 600 million from direct spending on social services and housing. Many initiatives were defunded, and then various Liberal state government went stupidly hard on law and order which saw incarceration rates of mainly black kids sky-rocket.

Come on, you can do better than that.

Come on, you can do better than that.
SteeleRedux,
Time you started taking your own advise. Opening your eyes & ears & learn about integrity & how to acquire some is a good start !

I think the indigenous should be encouraged to join Border Patrol 'cos I think they'd do a good job.
By he attendance on the passport gates over the last few days it doesn't look like anyone is available to work.
Traffic was faster through the gates ten years ago than today, but then everything was more efficient ten years ago.
