Should I point out that Paul doesn't dispute that the treatment of aboriginal women was horrendous and shameful (hence the aboriginal woman talking about cultural shame). He just disputes that the early colonists were shocked by it.

Well I guess getting Paul to see how bad things were for women in aboriginal society is a step in the right direction.

But then he just makes up fantasies about early explorers raping native women despite the absence of any evidence. But evidence and Paul are distant strangers anyway.

mhaze,
Did you expect them to record such incidences ? In later years many indigenous women believed having a light-coloured baby would benefit both mother & child. On rare occasions it did.
I clearly recall an indigenous woman yelling at her light-coloured child "you got white skin for nothing " ! Many such women used to claim the colour of the baby was due to blood transfusion in Hospital.
None of these things you'll find evidence for !

Trumpster,

"The Nazis were not all that happy about Christmas, at least the Christian element of it, and tried over the years to turn it into a pagan festival that venerated Nazi ideology." mhaze glad you can cut and paste after you Googled something, well done. Like many today, Christmas has become a commercialized hard sell period of over indulgence.

"For Goebbels, the aim was to replace Jesus with Hitler." But how would Hitler fit in the manger? Was Gobbles going to cut his legs off? On second thoughts Gobbles was rather short, maybe he could have fitted in the manger instead.

Opinions expressed here on any subject have no practical significance or influence on anyone or anything. Aboriginal organisations are hoovering up taxpayers' funds. Let them sort out the problems of the very few of them who are not living like everyone else in Australia these days. It should be of no concern whatever to most Australians - and it probably isn't.

We can always learn something from opinions. Sometimes

Foxy,
Sadly, not even sometimes in fact, extremely rarely ! The most common are among those with more education than their mentality can handle. Don't get me wrong, I have every respect for a real educated, intelligent person whose contribution to society is of real value. I have no time for those whose only expertise is to waffle jargon & exploit the stupidity of their fellow stupid & dragging society down as we're witnessing particularly at this time !
