Josephus,

It may be the cock that crows but it's the hen
that lays the eggs.

I see Linda Burney peddling misinformation.
THIS IS ABORIGINAL TRUTH TELLING ACORDING TO THE GOVERNMENT.

" Affairs Minister Linda Burney’s statement about Lowitja O'Donoghue following her death were “false”.

The Indigenous Affairs Minister released a statement after Indigenous leader Lowitja O’Donoghue died aged 91.

“At two years old she was taken away from her mother in remote South Australia and placed in a mission home, where her name was anglicised and she was prohibited from speaking her own language,” Ms Burney said.

“The Matron of the Colebrook Children's Home in South Australia where she grew up, told her that she wouldn't amount to anything.”

Some of Ms O’Donoghue’s acquaintances and a relative confirmed to Mr Bolt that the Indigenous leader was not stolen as a child. Instead, her white father dumped her and all of her brothers and sisters bar one at a home in South Australia.
She was looked after by Sister Rutter and the matron, Sister Hyde, who devoted their lives to helping children who were abandoned or neglected or sent to them for an education.

“The fact O'Donoghue went so far in her career and gave so much is a tribute to what the sisters at Colebrook taught her and that is the real story – not the one from the Indigenous Australians minister – tells a very different and better one than this government tries to keep telling us.”

I think that a fact check is needed, maybe by the experts who looked into the Uhluru Statement or the ones who did the audio analysis of the Sydney Opera House protest. It's reassuring when experts have determined what the truth really is.

It's a fact that the woman lied about being one of the stolen generation. When I saw her death announced, it's first and only thing I thought of. My wife had dealings with her, and always liked her.

But, all people are paraded as being much better than they actually were when they die. I wait, probably in vain, for something like, "And what an arsehole he/she was; should never have been born", because that would be the truth about many people before their deaths.
