Steele is politically blind to facts, as he cannot see Albanese is a hypocrite by claiming to be advancing aboriginal education yet is closing schools in aboriginal communities, depriving 150 children of education, and is shipping them four hours away for schooling.

Instead of establishing another very costly, and this time a dangerous voice, for the aboriginal industry, Australia should be shutting down the quangos already in existence, and using the annual $40 billion they cost annually for the benefit of all Australians of all races.

This massive cost, and fuss, for 3% of the population, most of whom look after themselves as well as anyone else, is a scandal. It is also insulting to the majority of people who identify as Aboriginal or part thereof.

For the very few who cannot cope, there is a very generous and readily available welfare system. If that's good enough for the whitefellas, it is good enough for the blackfellas.

Josephus,

Whenever I have the displeasure of skimming the garbage you regurgitate on here I am of two minds. Are you a blithering idiot or an evil hearted purveyor of mistruths and lies because you get a kick out of it?

I'm kind of leaning towards the first because I haven't seen an original thought in a single one of your posts.

The idea that the NIAA is a representative advisory body is a line no longer being used even by the No campaign proper.

They, as the rest of us with at least half a brain know, the NIAA is made up of less than 25% indigenous Australians, is a service delivery vehicle, and has no board structure just a CEO who reports directly to the minister.

So little Johnny Smith, whose grandmother, six generations ago, was aboriginal, is born with a smidge of aboriginal DNA.
And he now has a right to control land that his ancestor didn't own in the first place?
And the right to a multitude of other benefits too?
Costing the taxpayer millions of dollars.
And now he wants written in to the constitution that he will have direct access to government?
Where will it end?

Dear IF,

Does he regard himself as Aboriginal? Is he recognised
by an Indigenous community? Does he lay any claims to
his ancestry? And what land are you talking
about that he even wants? Please give us more details?

Where will it end?

Not sure if it ever will in your mind.

But perhaps you'll think up some new stuff - the day's not
over yet.

Ipso Fatso, you only need to identify as aboriginal and be accepted as aboriginal. They will welcome you into their Tribe [mob]. That is the case of the Communist Thomas Mayo who wrote the VOICE book, and his ancestry is Borneo, Scottish, and Jewish. You do not need any link by DNA to an Australian tribe. Find an Elder and make friends and you will be welcomed. You have 65,000 links back to tribes in Africa the same as the Australian Aboriginals. If you were persecuted by the British and sent to Australia even better. The British are the ones that must be overthrown as they murdered and oppressed the tribes and hung our brothers.
