Hi Trumpster,

Just as we don't allow YOU to practice your Nuremberg Laws in Australia, we only have one recognised law, and that's Australian law, that's not racists. So those Aboriginal elders in Alice Springs who were calling on their own people to allow the western law to take it course are racists?

You want a quote; "hither mine viking friend i grant thou this woman" Its not a Billy Blogs modern interpretation.
BTW, William Buckley wrote nothing about giving of Aboriginal women to other tribes. In fact he never wrote anything. All that is known is European men kidnapped Aboriginal women for their own sexual pleasure.

Paul,

"hither mine viking friend i grant thou this woman"

Just making stuff up doesn't help your cause...

I couldn't find the quote so I asked AI. This is its response....

"I searched for the exact phrase (and variations) linked to the Chronicle, as well as broader contexts — no matches appear in translations, scholarly editions, or discussions. It sounds like modern fantasy/medieval role-play, LARP, a comedy sketch, meme, or fan-made content imitating old English.
If someone told you it was from the Chronicle, it was likely a joke, a misremembered attribution, or creative fiction. "

I'll go with creative fiction.

I've had enough fun. I'll let you try to extract yourself from the hole you've dug without my help.

I like adding thoughts.
Welcome to country somehow gives the aboriginies the illusion that they own this country.
They don't.
They have no practical control over it.
So they cannot truthfully say they own it.
To say so is insulting to we who were born here.
We are not visitors.
We are citizens.
And so are naturalised Australians.
And it is also insulting to the aboriginies themselves.
We are pretending they are something they are not.
We are making them believe they are right in their claims.
Leading them on.
We should know better.
So it is time for Albo to stand up and tell the truth without preamble.
It is time for him to lead.
I doubt he will.

Hi Paul,

"Can't be doing all that well from your "gravy train"."

It certainly didn't help the little girl, but it has helped a fellow of English heritage who wrote a fantasy history of indigenous Australia, as well as a guy with a Polish mum and a Philippino dad with his signature on the Uluru Statement from the Heart, which some people believe to be a single page document after Magoo claimed it was in parliament.

What concerns me Paul is wastage of public funds. I care not whether it's the CFMEU ripping $15 billion off Victorians, disabled Australians having $20 billion pilfered annually from the NDIS, pilfering of indigenous funding that seems to escape scrutiny with guilt tripping and racism accusations, $20 billion a year to koala clubbing grifting con artists, or any other public rort or wastage. It's all wrong.

WTC/AOC seems to me to be a small example of public rorting. It's portrayed as well meaning and inclusive, but that all changes the moment it is questioned. There was that guy who lost his job in Victoria, and many feel that it carries the same expectation as smiling at a Kim Jong Un parade in North Korea. I think of Australia as a land of free expression and inclusion, not a nation of pernicious coercion.

"If you don't like it then F off and don't come."

That should be reason enough to get rid of it.

I think we should be generous, and say to those who would be separate...
WELCOME TO OUR COUNTRY.
This is Australia.
We are a democracy.
We are governed by a democratically elected parliament.
There is a group of persons amongst us who think they are separate from the rest.
They seem to think they have many inalienable rights, which they demand we provide.
That is not so, and I reject their demands.
But I think I can say to these persons, on behalf of almost all Australians...
Welcome to our country.
You can stay for as long as you like.
However, you WILL be expected to comply with our laws.
You WILL be expected to adhere to our standards.
We hope you can integrate successfully with our society.
If you can do so, you will be valuable citizens.
So thank you for your attention.
I wish you well.
And welcome to our country.

Hi Trumpster,

I've shown how YOU lied with the Blainey quote, I gave the exact quote from Blainey's book, said nothing about giving of Aboriginal women, YOU have Buckley's chance of being right on that score. BTW, William Buckley didn't write a word about his 32 years living with Aboriginal people, other white fellas attributed their writings to Buckley so they could cash in.
Just because you can't find the relevant facts on that steam powered Commodore 64 'puter of yours doesn't mean they don't exist. YOU the brainless believe AI is the answer to all ignorance, not so, YOU would be better off asking a monkey in the Zoo.

Throw in the question to AI; Who is mhaze?
Answer; Mazikeen, commonly known as Maze, is a fierce demon from Hell who serves as Lucifer, Morningstar's devoted ally, bodyguard, and former head torturer. IS THAT YOU!
