The political class wouldn't no truth if it bit them on the bum.

Dunno about Qld but some of the Vic truth telling commissioners appear to be about 90% Caucasian, say 7/8. Perhaps they should wear special hats so we can tell the oppressed from the oppressors. We need a non-First Nations truth telling commission to point out that since European invasion the aborigines have had the advantage of clean water, an international language, writing, modern medicine and high speed transport. If that's suffering I'd hate to see what is.

With these commissions I suspect the secret agenda is Preparations for Reparations. In Samoa Charles is probably cottoning on to this. He has personal worth of £19 billion but apparently the Commonwealth aggrieved need £19 trillion. Come back with more cash. Some say the aggrieved should get over it and move on. What.. put the commissioners out of a job?

The modern day version of a 1950’s Russian Communist show trial; Queensland style.
Are we allowed to guess what will be the outcome? FM!

What a pathetic state this Country has fallen into: Hiw do these collection of “Pansies” get to rule over the top of us?

You really have been living with your head up your arse haven't you?

Aries 54 please explain how the aborigines have gone backwards since Europeans arrived. Why have they interbred? Why are they speaking the invader's language?

Dear Taswegian
So the indigenous peoples of this land were 'invaded' (your accurate word) slaughtered by the thousands, had their children stolen, were regarded as not being worthy of citizenship in their own land, and a million other injustices and you reckon an international language and high speed transport excuses all that. Get real. Plus, a Taswegian speaking of inbreeding. Spare me.

I have just lodged an a post about the slave trade as I had not seen this thread.
However it points up the total absurdity of any idea of compensation.
It would be impossible to calculate any amount of compensation fairly.
For instance how much would you pay the descendant Italian for being
taken as a slave by a Barbary Pirate and sold on a Nth African slave market ?
Or the descendant of a blonde girl from Iceland !

Every living human being has ancestors who suffered injustice. Should we remedy all injustice, or just the injustice to some? What's important to me is that people are treated equally in society and not given special consideration or privileges on the basis of their heritage.

The land was invaded but not the inhabitants. No other indigenous anywhere on this Planet have been compensated as much as the Aborigines. I have yet to meet an indigenous who actually wants to revert to the style of existence their forebears lived.
