"Aboriginals [sic] have had a free ride for far too long and all of their perks and benefits should be stripped away now the government has said sorry." That's why there's a 17 year gap in life expectanch, eh Bro?

That's why you're suggesting we should put 'whitey' on the same types of benefits. 'Whitey' would really like that perk, eh?

I'd like to respond to you, but I can't understand a word you're saying. Perhaps when you get back from the pub you could have another go at explaining.

It sounds like you've really caught a dose of compassion today. Some sorry pills and a good lie down will help you settle down. Will you still respect us in the morning?

If aborigines get such a better deal than "whitey" I wonder if we should hand over our own kids to be raised by them instead of poor, disadvantaged us.

I attended a lecture some years ago by a Canberra anthropologist on cross-cultural awareness and she put paid to a lot of myths about so-called extra benefits supposedly enjoyed by aboriginals.
They basically get what we get but under different names, and none of it comes close to the middle-class welfare and tax breaks given to the wealthy.

I also mentioned the story about the "single payment car" (which I think was actually more to do with an exploitative car dealer preying on a single group than a widespread rort) to an aboriginal co-worker when it was raised on TV.

He knew nothing about it and would have been the first to sign-up for one if it was a possibility.

Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen aborigines cruising the streets in new cars.

isatoy, old white girl

You personal attack on me is about as wrong as it's possible to be; but why let the facts get in the way of your blind prejudice, eh?

I don't wear a suit, I don't work in an office and I grew up in what you call one of "those friggen places they sent black and white kids institutions...full of kiddy touchers". Ten per cent of us were Koories.

So life's lottery did not give me an upbringing with a mother and father, but hey what difference does that make to your prejudice? Nor am I "rich and wealthy". I'm sorry if my words (the only basis on which you could possibly make any judgement of my attributes).

I apologise for getting myself educated. The orphanage and its kiddy touchers packed me off at 15, as they did for the rest of the mob. I find being educated actually quite an advantage - beats pig ignorance every time. You ought to try it sometime, white girl.

Frankgol,

We have much in common! :)

Foxy, have fun playing with Sir Col. I do, but it gets weary after a while.

Not very well read.

sorry frank im not old my point is you always down grade everyone in here and every where else you go in these forums i thought it was a chance for everyone to have an opinion educated or not . if you were in one of institution you would understand that some are fully srewed in the head because of these kiddy touchers that the government have protected all these years i had to cut my father off the clothes line at the age of 11 i have seen him self disruct all of my life so dont call me dumb ive lived the life with him and i still do so just count yourself lucky that it didnt eat at you and you could concentrate on an education my dad didnt stand a chance maybe im screwed in the head to i dont know but what sucks the most was watching him my dad that is listening to kevin rudd saying sorry all he had to add was sorry about you white kids to . like what you said that there were aboriginies in with the whites in institutions rudd never said his apology from the heart thruth be known it was probably done by his lawyers if someone carnt spell or try to put there point across dont be little people as you never know they could already be on the edge and you belittling people may cause damage we respect your say respect our educated or not isatoy
