Foxy,
Well, going by the results we’d better off voting to be a Democracy !

Pilger. Now, that really is scraping the bottom of the barrel! A liar and a psychopath.

I'd say none of the above, and I'd wager that instances of blokes spending a few nights in the doghouse is not without precedent. The question posed is how much can be extrapolated from the story? Some just want to remember the bad stuff, and some make stuff up to support their prejudices.

Indigenous and non-indigenous women in South Australia had the vote before any other women in the world did. Does that sound like a civilisation that sees people as only being fit for kennels because of their race?

It's as if the Voice referendum never happened the way the narrative of hatred keeps rearing up. Many more Australians will celebrate Australia Day for their personal experience than will condemn it for a narrative of hatred enhanced with fantasy.

John Pilger might not have been a favourite of yours ttbn, as he didn't paint the "Hitler's" of this world in a very good light. Pilger (1939 -2023) will be remembered as a great journalist and documentary maker.

Fester,

Using your own words - you need to practice what you
preach to others - we shouldn't describe those who
have different opinions to our own in insulting ways.

Do try.

Besides - history is clear - and documented - for anyone
truly seeking the truth - no matter how objectionable it
may turn out to be.

Foxy,

Might I remind you that the undertone of this topic is that support of Australia Day is indicative of being a racist stupid old bogan. Despite this, I have kept my insults confined to politicians and organisations wading in on a political debate. As for describing you as a member of the Albo cult, I note that you claim to be an independent thinker yet never seem to have an opinion much at variance from Albo's. Maybe I should refer to you as an undercover Albo cult member?

"history is clear - and documented - for anyone
truly seeking the truth"

Wow, just wow. What I see is a writing of history embellished with unsubstantiated anecdotes and fantasy for the purpose of creating division and hatred.

When the Voice campaigning was in full swing the word from the likes of you Foxy was that the situation for disadvantaged indigenous Australians was dire, solutions were known and could be implemented without any legislative change. Then silence since the referendum went down. I wish that more effort would go toward helping people in need instead of writing fantasy histories.
