"mhaze glad you can cut and paste after you Googled something"

Paul, if you're going to make that type of accusation, you need to find the article that was cut and pasted from...you know like I always do with Foxy.

But it seems that Paul is just incredulous that someone can have independent knowledge on these type of matters just as he was incredulous that I'd have an extensive library on WW2.

I suppose there's nothing wrong with doing a little google search on matters you're unfamiliar with. But Paul always gets the order wrong. The idea is to do the research and then make the comment. Paul makes the comment, gets lambasted for his idiocy and then does the wikipedia checking, whereupon, having found he was wrong he looks for the nearest exit.

Indyvidual,

We all from time to time spout nonsense as we go about
our lives without any real consequences.

You say:

“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 !”

Yes. But do you really think that we ever get any but “waffle”, “jargon” or personal ideology here?

No more than a half a dozen anonymous people banging on with their set pieces and well-known attitudes to everything, with no result at all?

Take this topic. Nobody really cares about aboriginals living in the bush when there is no need for them to do so. If they moved out of the Stone Age like most Australians with aboriginal background have done, the women would be safer, and they would have the fallback of shelters for abused women.

There is no excuse for living in remote areas where there is no law and order, no medical care, no civilised institutions, and NO JOBS.

Until Australian governments do away with identity politics and different groups, nothing will change.

There is no governmental, bleeding heart solution to a problem that has been around for over two centuries. Wittering on and virtue signalling from anonymous posters is ridiculous. Those who genuinely think something should, or could be done, about individuals who do nothing for themselves, should contact whichever useless article is representing an equally useless political party in their electorates, and tell them that they won't get a vote until something is done.

In the meantime, it is a 100 percent certainty that posters banging on here aren't going to influence can-do people to lift a finger. My own attitude - I am sick and tired of hearing about aborigines, and people moaning about something they can't do anything about. Not my fault. Not my responsibility. Nor is it a job for politicians to live citizens' lives for them.

ttbn said; "Opinions expressed here on any subject have no practical significance or influence on anyone or anything."

AND, who is the biggest daily opinion waffler on this site, none other than ttbn himself. For a daily dose of garbage ttbn has been serving it up for years. The blokes a joke!

ttbn,
I post because I am concerned how society is heading into a cul-de-suc of human misery. I hope that some of my opinions give others food for thought. The few who don't & only use this great forum for silly oneupmanship waffle & quips have long ago exposed their mentality so, they're literally just wasting time, theirs & ours.
As for Aboriginal DV well, every society has issues with DV with the exception that other societies do not spend billions on a system that serves no-one except experts & other bureaudroids & general hypocritic pretenders !
Perpetuating untruths & pontificating truths that'd normally just be basic everyday facts in other societies
DV only thrives because of inaction from people who prevent those who would take action from doing so !

We've all heard these arguments so many times:

"Why can't Indigenous people just get over it?"

"Move one." "After all, it happened ages ago".

"It's not my responsibility" et cetera, et cetera.

"Why can't they move to the cities?"

Well, for some Indigenous, it's a cultural thing
to want to live in their ancestral lands. For others
they simply can't "get over it"because the negative
affects of colonisation are still with having an
impact every day often in drastic ways.

These 18th century colonial attitudes set in motion
events and policies and established systems and
institutions that continue to have an impact on
Indigenous people today, despite Indigenous
people's determined effort to resist and try to
overcome their adversity.

They keep asking for self-determination with an
advisoty voice. We're not listening. And then
blaming them because they don't do what they're told.
