Dr Lowitja O'Donogue was taken as a 2 year old from her
"full blood" mother and was deposited in the Colebrook
"Half-Caste" Mission. The purpose of the Mission was to
turn "savages" into Christians.

("Lowitja" by Stuart Rintoul).

Another lie. The lie was also repeated the TV news last night.

Don't you ever want to just grab someone and say -
WTF is wrong with you?

Lois O'Donoghue was handed to the mission by her father because he wasn't able to look after her or her 5 (?) siblings. It seems the mother was nowhere to be found.

Only several decades later, when Lois was reunited with her mother, did the mother claim that she really wanted to keep the kids but the father (Tom) took them and never told her where they went. Of course, this seems far-fetched given that he didn't take all the kids at once and there's no evidence the mother ever tried to find the kids.

There were many aboriginal kids, abandoned by their parents and put into homes who later claimed they were stolen. Lois was just one of many such kids although she like the rest tried to cash-in on the 'stolen' moniker. Unfortunately for her she did, on her more honest moments, admit she wasn't stolen. It seems Foxy has chosen to disbelieve her.

mhaze,

Thanks for taking the trouble to put that up in the face of stupid people who are never going to believe what they don't want to believe. I have a connection with Lois via my wife. I know she wasn't stolen. But their is no convincing stupid ideogues and Leftist bigots.
