Thank you John. Well said. It cannot continue.

Well its like this....

Australia, like the rest of the world, has been subject to the tides of people migrations for centuries

Now it is currentkly settled by what some call "Newer Australians", as well those deemed the "Original Australians"

Multiculturalism is a fiction,

So too the notion of "separate peoples within a single state".

History observes one single process

Assimilate

and the alternative to "Assimilation" is simple

Die (out)

It is the process which can be observed as having "happened" for centuries

and we individually get to decide what choice we make,

and that choice is entirely independent of some "piece of paper" or "treaty" or "Sorry" or any other bunch of left wing bunkum aka "side-show of the irrelevant".

Funny thing that where I worship we have Indians, Kiwis, coloured and non coloured South Africans, Islanders and even an occasional Aussie. It seems like our 'first people' have a chip on their shoulder. They are the only ones that won't join in. It must be those rotten Africans, or Indians or Asians. Certainly would not be worth having a look at oneself.

I wonder what life would be like for aboringines if whites had not arrived here over 200 years ago. Would they be living in lovely houses, with seafood overlooking the beach. Or would they be just where they were for the previous 80,000 years, roaming the country, hunting for food, occasionally killing each other and living till about 35 years of age. Really if things had not changed in the previous 80,000 years, why would they have changed in the next 200. They clearly would be worse off without us.

The inhumane conditions of the few Aborigines pale when compared with the enormous unfairness lamented by Mr. Michael Kirby, an ex judge of the High Court of Australia, in the funding of Schools, or worse, the mistreatment of Atheists who cannot get the same privileges the State accords to other religions.

Why call for a Bill of Rights when we have a superb Constitution drafted by the ones who, to their discomfort, came here to try to civilize those natives?

Silly old bugger isn't even an Ozzie anymore yet he acts the expert.

From his London residence he describes a highly complex Australian situation in overly simple terms, helping no-one - as though it was the Australia in which he last lived - forty years ago.

We have the Stolen Generation and the equivalent, mainly white, Forgotten Generation, and many other deserving groups.

Perhaps we should give them all the usual 20%, their lawyer/consultants the usual 40% and the distributing bureaucrats their standard 40% cut...

What is Pilger the Brit suggesting?
