From researching the origins of tools and weapons it appears the boomerang was only ever used in the NT tribes who had contact with people from Borneo who brought the Dingo and boomerang about 12,000 ago.

Aboriginals never learned to use coal or gas to make fires hot enough to make iron tools, though it was plentiful enough in Australia, and was only ever used for cooking as on the beach in Swansea NSW.

School children are taught dreamtime stories and a culture that must be celebrated, but they are not told the unpleasant facts in aboriginal families, which continues to happen today. The nulla-nulla stick hit an unwanted newborn on the head.

The Voice is a simple proposition that boils down
to one thing - ADVICE.

It is nothing more than a group of First Nations People
advising the government on how to best help Indigenous
Australians.

Why bring in all this other stuff?

Dear Josephus,

Here's some "unpleasant stuff," that few know about:

Prod Boy Jose'

Looks like you copped a few wacks around the chops with the nulla-nulla stick, it must have been what has caused your delusional hate of Aboriginal people. Why do you make the grossly disgusting claims of Aboriginal people eating their new born, you have no evidence, you just lie about things like that. Around the time you claimed you were living in Northern NSW, whites were murdering Aboriginal children in that area. Have you not heard of the Richmond River massacres, did good old grandpa Josephus take part in that? Now tell the truth for once.

[This post has been deleted. The poster made an ugly allegation about another poster on this forum without being able to provide evidence. They were given 7 days to come up with that evidence. That is completely unsatisfactory.]
