Dear Ipso Facto,

So you would have been fully supportive of the McGowen's government decision to defund the School of the Air and very much against Gina Rinehart's strident defense of the service.

"GINA Rinehart — Australia’s richest person with a fortune of $19.2 billion — has blasted the McGowan Government’s decision to axe funding for the School of the Air as a “shameful attack” against Australian families in the bush.

In a scathing 700-word email sent to Premier Mark McGowan on Christmas Day, the mining and cattle magnate said the WA Government had “abandoned” the principles of equity and universal access “that have underpinned education in Australia”.

She said the decision — which the Government has claimed will save $14 million a year — “illustrates that it does not understand or care about our people in the bush or our remote communities, or indeed our pastoral and related industries”."

Or does it really come down to the colour of their skin?

Ipso Facto, Steele does not understand that tribal aboriginal people who have lived on their land for 60,000 years and survived prefer to live without MODERN EDUCATION AND SERVICES. If they want services, they must move to where the services are provided. Those who move to the city or live remote but communicate with the services of School of the air for education and Flying Doctor are a different group.

Here is an example of Californians repatriating to Disadvantage.

"A group formally approved its final recommendations to the California Legislature last weekend - The task force approved its final recommendations last week for reparations payments of a minimum of $360,000 for black Californians
California's reparations task force has said that black people should be given priority in the renting and buying market - and demanded that a state agency should have the veto power over real estate decisions to 'lessen racial segregation.'

The task force was created to study the economic effects of slavery and discrimination in the state back in September 2020, making California the first state to embark on studying the possibility of reparations for black Americans — even though slavery was banned in California even before it joined the union."

Repatriations is part of Closing the Gap

Josephus,

You really are very busy being a racist little twat aren't you.

So "a different group" you claim, and that they all "prefer to live without MODERN EDUCATION AND SERVICES".

What a crock. You spin these narratives in an attempt to give a modicum of legitimacy to your toxic views. Well it really doesn't work.

And if reparations are part of closing the gap then so bloody be it.

From DNA research - "We all come from that one mother in East Africa 150,000 years ago. She may be the biblical Eve, or she may have evolved from primates and Neanderthals. It really doesn't matter if you embrace her in faith, or in science, but by accepting her and learning about human history and how we have adapted in the past 7000 generations we might begin to realize that we literally are one human family. And in that realization we might begin the slow and painful process of reconciliation and learn to accept and embrace our physical differences".

Repatriations is part of Closing the Gap
Josephus,
The dilemma with this is that those who bleat about this gap not getting closed, are the very ones fighting to keep it open because that’s the platform that enables them to perpetuate their dreadful insincerity & hipocrisy !
Closing that gap would make them nothings !

Indy,

The only pair that need to be REPATRIATED is YOU, back to whence you came, and the Good Ole' Boy from Alabama, Jose'.
