The facts are as follows:

Struth Foxy, Lois herself confirmed that she'd been placed in the mission by her father AND agreed that she shouldn't have said she was stolen. She started to refer to herself as 'removed' ie removed by her father, not stolen by the government. Was she lying?

"(My father) didn't want to be straddled with five kids," the former Australian of the Year said, sobbing. "I haven't forgiven him... "I don't like the word 'stolen' and it's perhaps true that I've used the word loosely at times... I would see myself as a removed child, and not necessarily stolen." Asked whether it would be better to state clearly that she wasn't a member of the stolen generation, Dr O'Donoghue said: "I am prepared to make that concession."

mhaze,

Struth indeed.

At least I can see - your mistakes mean that you're
trying.

Try reading the Britannica link I gave. And her
authorised biography that I mentioned earlier by
Stuart Rintoul. It would also help clarify things. It explains
her life and the times she lived in - especially what the
Aboriginal Protection Board did. It should help you to
understand.

Anyway. it's up to you. I'm not going to argue. I'm merely
being polite.

So according to Foxy, Lois O'Donoghue was lying when she admitted her father was the one who placed her in the mission. But of course, Lois is black and therefore Foxy can't just come out and call her a liar because....well people like Foxy can't say anything even slightly detrimental about anyone with black skin.

I guess if you just want to believe what you want to believe, then calling everyone else, even the subject person, a liar is as good as any other method. A bit like a flat-earther saying the astronauts are liars.

We have people who come into our lives as blessings,
others as lessons.

Dr Lowitja O'Donoghue was a blessing to so many people.
She was a trailblazer, a person of character, a remarkable
woman, who lived during such difficult times in our country,
when she was just 2 years old the Aboriginal Protection
Board (formed in 1940) took on the legal guardianship of
all Aboriginal children.

Yet despite all the obstacles put in her path along her
life's journey Dr O'Donoghue never gave up. She never lost
her faith. She was often identified as one of the success
stories of the government policies of that time of the
removal of Aboriginal children.

May she Rest In Peace.

The book by Stuart Ritoul - "Lowitja," Her authorised
biography explains her life and the times she lived in,
and what the Aboriginal Protection Board did.
