I've got it Shocker.

You've got me pegged. I'm really one of those nutters who believes that Auschwitz was really in Alice Springs. Damn! You've sprung me.

Keep punching Shocker, I''m holding your head at arm's length in my extended arm while you swing wildly with both arms. But I'll have to let go soon and then you'll get me. God, I'm petrified.

Your shout! It's nearly closing time.

I'll get you alright, FrankGol.

I'm your karmic "reward".

James I have no need to take a breath am totally in control of my thoughts.
I find no true fault with you or your posts however Jim acts talks and appears to think like a racist.
That blind stolen land stolen generation racist talk ignores the fact every country in this world has been invaded.
Like us whites blood from all over the world runs in many Aboriginal veins.
Some times much more white blood than black, but its cash time, no money in being mainstream.
No money in being part of the whole, while we seek multiculturalism for most it is racist to want better for Aboriginals?
And just maybe that better life true share Howard offered ,Noel Pearson wants, would allowed better education to act as a tool to save Aboriginal culture. stop child neglect and rape.
Aboriginals, some who post here, must stop the rot in their own community's not blame white Australia for caring more than they do.
Those who rape, those who steal money meant for these people include whites but no way the numbers are equal to those who are the community.
Uneducated blindly stupid racism is just as evil if from a minority as any other.
I say now I am sorry for the truly stolen, but even more sorry some Aboriginals are the problem never the solution.

Belly ,
Nup, you are wrong .
There is nothing Racist about my last post .

If you think it is Racist to ask for an Apology,ie. saying Sorry , to stick up for Indigenous Australians and demand they get a "Fair GO" , it is you that has a big problem .

A lot of the discussion here is on who's fault it is, the actions that have been taken by the government and what more or less should be done.

Firstly, I don't think it is fair to blame white people for what has happened with Aborigines over the century. However, we have to establish that the position our indigenous Australians were in to "begin with", when they start their lives as children, are far worse than what mainstream society begins with. As a result of dysfuntionality within families and communities, abuse, violence, addiction etc. occurs. It is a problem, and it is a major problem within the Northern Territory. Something needs to be done.

However, having said that, the Northern Territory Emergency Response Bills are a complete waste of time and money - not to mention they undermine some of the most fundamental notions of human rights and freedoms.

The intention of this act is good and indeed something needs to be done. But its method of attempting to achieve its aim is not. By imposing restrictions and limitations on the freedom of our indigenous Australians, does not at all solve anything. All it brings is a reminiscence of a past we would like to forget. Control of lives and welfare, but not creating awareness and education, simply brews rebellion and violence. It may do more harm than good. Wasn't the stolen generation policy, introduced to essentially protect the Aborigines from dying out? At least that was one policy consideration. The emergency response laws do nothing to fix the problem of alcohol, pornography, child abuse. Because you do not solve a social problem through oppression. You solve these through education and awareness, giving of a brighter future for the whole community. By simply making the "conduct" of what happens in the Northern Territory "illegal" does not solve anything. Instead, by taking these away, it causes even more rebellion and violence.

Above the fact that the laws don't solve the underlying problems that occur and fails to follow the Anderson Wild Report, they are against universal human rights and freedoms.

The N.T 'Invasion', occurred because of a powerful black voice. The powerful black voice of the Aboriginal Victim Industry. For many years these people and their supporters have been blaming the commonwealth government for our problems and demanding they do something. An indication of their own failings and inadequacies. They themselves must take responsibility for the 'Invasion' and the social circumstances that justified it. Board Members of the “A.V.I” Pat Dodson, and 'he who would be our saviour' Tom Calma, should apologize and get out of the debate. For further info www.whitc.info
