We're not listening.
Foxy,
Many of us are & all we hear is nonsense from the do-gooders all the way to the pretend indigenous. Only a few of us who lived in remote communities can tell you what you et al don't want to hear.
You are part of the problem ! You dismiss what everyday people tell you & you only believe what ignorant, self-interest Uni indoctrinated experts spin at you !
I'm not indigenous to Australia & I don't want to live in your city society because I dislike Plastic & other tastelessness that comes with it ! I rather live in communities where humans are still people !

By-the-way - taken from the web:

It may interest people to know that:

"Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have
INHERENT rights in Australia, including cultural
rights to self determination".

" The Human Rights Act protects the cultural rights
of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
including the right to practice their culture,
maintain their language, and maintain their
relationship to the land".

" The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of
Indigenous Peoples ( UNDRIP) confirms that Indigenous
peoples have the right to self determination. This means
that Australia is required to ensure that Indigenous
people have a say in their social, political, cultural,
and economic needs".

"Some say that acknowledging, respecting, and protecting
their rights, is essential to addressing the injustices
of colonialism. Others say that a Human Rights Act that
includes rights to adequate housing, health, education,
and social security could improve the lives of
Indigenous people".

"When the Declaration was adopted in 2007 only 4
countries voted against it. Canada, New Zealand, United
States, and Australia".

"In 2009 the Australian government made a public statement
formally endorsing the Declaration. Even though Australia
has now endorsed the Declaration, Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander people in Australia continue to face very
different life outcomes than the non-Indigenous population".

"The ongoing dispossession and racism towards Aboriginal
and Torres Strait Islander people contributes to the
huge gaps in health, life expectancy, and imprisonment
rates today".

Has your concern been noticed by the people who can do anything about your concern? Have you noticed any changes that occurred because of your posts? I have concerns too, but nothing has changed because I expressed them. The same applies to the posters you describe as wafflers and practitioners of one-upmanship; their sole purpose is to nag and disagree just for the sake of it. I no longer even look at their posts.

Do you really think that the political class takes any notice of social media? Take Albanese, for instance. He has openly said that he never reads any of it because he “couldn't get through the day” if he did.

Politicians use social media alright: just to have their say, not to read yours or mine, or that of the sycophantic ratbags who help them spray their ideology around. Once they are voted in, most of them have a job for life, and nothing you or I, or anyone else, says will make much difference because all the politicians are the same: they do what the party says, or they are gone.

This thread has been going on for 10 days, kept going by 11 posters out of just under 18 million registered voters; most of the posters being multiple gasbags.

I bet that the same subject will come up again after the next election, and after every election to come. Nothing will change. Nothing will change because of a few anonymous posters getting the dirty water off their chests. Social media is just a therapy for the Great Unwashed. We have freedom of speech, and the politicians have freedom to ignore us, because once they are in, they mostly have a job for life: a very well-paid one, in government or in opposition.

Apart from the services the government taxes us to provide, we all have to make our own lives: aborigines included.

Indyvidual,

Reading what consistently unfolds in your posts on
this forum is painful. I'm at a loss for words.

atom than a prejudice".
