In reply to David and his comments of the 'hapless'babies that were taken away. A lot of people seem to be of the belief that the 'half caste' were shunned by their tribes.Another myth. I am not half caste yet I was stolen from my family. No-one seems to be touching on the truths, only what is presented by the media. How many people I have wondered, have sat with an idigenous person, and listened to their words, and heard their pain? David, you talk in refernce to the missions, may I tell you a sory of the mission. My Uncle, along with his siblings was placed in a mission.His job was to go & cut down trees, & to access the area, he had to walk along a tree that had fallen across the river. One day on returning, he dropped his axe into the water, & returned & told the missionaires of what had happened. He was sent back the next day to find the axe, but because he could not swim, he spent the day 'pencil' diving into the water. He returned without the axe, his punishment? He was locked in a morgue for a week........He was 13yrs old. This is one story that is told, imagine the countless others.I myself was placed in a foster home with a white family.My new mother, had physcological problems that had effect upon myself, so please don't insinuate it was for the good of our people that we were stolen and placed into new homes and we lived happily ever after.

Your arguments can hardly be described as logical and evidence-based, nor your turn of phrase as cool and collected:

- 'malignant drivel pollutes'
- 'how inept, incompetent and impotent the leftie really are' (sic)
- 'asinine socialist view'
- 'rattle of the empty mind'
- 'intellectualized and gentrified aboriginal'.

So much mud to sling - nothing else to contribute? No argument? No ideas?

Well yes, this oxymoronic gem:

'History shows how the Spanish, German, Chinese, Indonesian or Japanese would have solved any “aboriginal” issue, had they colonized Australia.'

Excuse me, Col Rouge, how can 'history show' something that didn't happen? Does history also show how Australians would have been treated if Martians had invaded Earth? If fairies didn't know about teeth? If Howard had won the last election?

Who,now, will be game enough to rescue the poor little aboriginal children in dysfunctional communities? They will be left to rot. If any survive ,later they can sue the incumbent government for not "saving" them.
It is a bit unnerving, now that we once again have a Labor government, to see the old politically correct desire to suppress people's freedom of speech. It had never really died away but it is back with a filthy vengeance.
If the authority of OLO gives in and allows only one side of debate to be heard, it will be a very sad day.

"Australia, pre the 1967 referendum on aboriginal rights was a significantly different place to that which has existed subsequent to the passing of that referendum.

"The playing field was levelled",

Once again, the amateur utterings of someone who is not well read, knows nothing about doing primary research and lives in a bubble created by his own yearnings to be a modern day Biggles.

"Many popular notions associated with the 1967 Referendum belong in the category of myths. The referendum was not whole-heartedly supported by both sides of politics, did not end legal discrimination, did not confer the vote, equal wages and citizenship on indigenous Australians and did not permit for the first time Commonwealth government involvement in Aboriginal Affairs."

Poor old Col

Yes, I hope Col wiped his arse and washed his hands after that textual bowel movement.

Wicked wicked boy CJ...!

Now for the girly club and their newest recruit Ickyjo.

Vacuous: Please some answers??:

"It would appear that some of those on the left are having difficulty grasping the horrible truth that Australia is basically a white society and if you want to rise out of your pit, then you must attempt to conform to the norms of this society. You may even get help from a whitey,..........."

THAT is why I won't bother with you, or your clone KGB. (rehctub has shown the good grace to explain his views ((which I strongly disagree with))-in a reasonable manner. I don't include him in my comments. It appears he does not need to join your lynch mob
