We also need to remember that Australia has moved into a post-Christian era, with less than half of Australians calling themselves Christians. To be blunt, God doesn't figure with most Australians any longer and, unfortunately, Yuyutsu's comments, worthy of respect as they are, are not a lot of practical use.

Those of us who are Christians can still face life and deal with it privately. Christianity was 'privatised' with The Elightenment.

That Western values are based on Christianity remains true. Christianity hasn't changed, but values have.

Hi DD,

"HOW" A word of greeting, oft used by "Hollywood Indians" like 'Iron Eyes'Cody from the Sicilian Tribe (Not a Native American at all), who couldn't say "o-co-o-c-yo-o-co" (Cherokee word for HELLO). At least in Hollywood they allowed the "Indian" to utter the word "How!" before the cowboy shot him dead, rather magnanimous of Hollywood, don't you think?

"Christian values" hummmmm, an interesting concept, but what are they?

Paul 1405.

The plight of the North American Indians pushed north into Canada, and off valuable reservations, is a good metaphor for open borders; a creation of the Biden Administration now on full view on the US Southern border. No mercy for anybody anywhere, anytime, standing in the way of progress of the land developers.

Now, generations past of those rewarded by land theft, weep and wail for the wrongs done to the Native by their own ancestors, hand out the money and wellbeing of others, to cleanse their conscience.

Would that be a criticism of you and the radical Greens, Paul do you think: You can say no?

"One's ability to live wherever they wish on God's land is a natural God-given freedom which societies have no moral right to interfere with."

Only if you believe in God.
And only if you can get everyone to agree.

What you want and believe plays second fiddle to reality.
And reality is that you share the planet with many other people other than yourself.
Your god-given right only exists in reality if the other people living on that land allow you to freely exist on 'God's land', or if you eradicate them.

For the purposes of maintaining their existing society;
Access to food and resources which is necessary to sustain their survival, they may well consider the land the be theirs, and be willing to fight and die to protect it from the imposition of interlopers.

Dear Critic,

You Are right, I can only do what I can, I cannot get everyone to agree and would be stupid if I tried, but when it is my turn to speak, I preceive it as my duty and small service to use God's intellectual gifts to me to advocate for Him - in the end it is unlikely for me to ever be called to physically reclaim God's land for Him, but He will surely do so in His own way and time.

Perhaps they might look at giving a cash reward of $1000 in certain circumstances- not citizenship or permanent residency.
