Jay,

There is doubt that Rudolph Hess was in fact one of the 21 that you mention.

Foxy,

It is reasonable that young Aborigines should model themselves on the very successful Rosalie Kunoth-Monks and Dr Marcus Waters. There are many others like them too and in all walks of modern life including sports.

You acknowledge their existence and clip quotes where it suits your own Far Left agenda, but of course your sad world view and ideology blind you to the opportunities that were made available to them and how, the personal choices that have got them where they are now, and their chosen lifestyles.

What do you say prevents others from doing the same?

....Wait a bit, many as in thousands are doing precisely that. They are taking up the opportunities that are out there and the choices are their own. No one is forcing anyone to do anything. How many have completed and are presently completing tertiary study for example? Any of their Aussie countrymen would say to them, "Good on you mate, go for it!".

You, Pilger and the Far Left are lost in a time warp. You are the problem. You need to change. First, open both eyes.

Thanks Foxy, yes one can certainly see a "trend" with Mr Windschuttle and the "evidence" he presents about Aboriginal people.
You know of course The Roman Empire never existed, its all a Leftest/Stalinist/Communist plot by Jews to lumber them with the crucifixion of Christ, just as they invented the Holocaust so they could paint Hitler as a bad fella. Those arch communist Joseph Starlin and Harry Truman conspired in 1945 to put good law abiding people like Hermann Goering on trial for war crimes they never committed during a war that never happened.
Talk about flat earth people, we have a couple of doozy's here.

Dear Paul,

We've certainly got a few humdingers I agree.

I've been doing more research on the topic of our
Indigenous people and there's heaps out there. But one thing
is becoming clear that those who live in towns or the
major metropolitan centres have been much more successful
in health, education and income than those in remote
communities.

Peter Costello in his memoirs points out that "You can hardly
fail to notice the very high proportion of Indigenous players
in the various football codes, especially the Australian
Football League(AFL). These talented footballers are highly
paid. Their success has given them great pride and set a
good example for young Indigenous people...The AFL has done a
great job in encouraging Indigenous players. These players
do not make the grade because of any special preference;
the clubs recruit them on the basis of talent. They are in a
highly competitive league that wants the most talented players.
It so happens that a disproportionate number are Indigenous."

Costello then points out that - "...Engaging the Indigenous
people in the economic mainstream, giving them the opportunity
to join it, educating them in a way that will help them
join it, are all fundamental to solving the problems of low
life expectancy, bad health and disadvantage generally.
There is a lot of goowill among Australians. With the right
leadership they will work towards that solution."

And talking about football here is a link on what a famous
player and Australian of The Year had to say about
John Pilger's film "Utopia." :-

Well if nothing else we've demonstrated why there is this ill will toward and jealousy of Aboriginals and minorities in general among uneducated White people.
Uneducated doesn't mean stupid, White people can understand that all the academics, all politicians and journalists in this country, ie the people who are supposed to be the leadership group and who are supposed to be the stewards of the nation subscribe to a set of values which run directly counter to the interests of the majority.
The part they can't understand is how immigrants, Aboriginals and Gays are simply being cynically used by these educated castes so they naturally see Aboriginals as privileged when they're actually not.
How can you people call White settlement a "genocide" and say it was worse than the events in Europe during WW2 then expect such statements to further enhance understanding and co-operation between Aboriginals and Whites?
You're insincere, you're liars and you're attitudes are the biggest impediment to harmony and social cohesion.
The only reconciliation we need in this society is to reconcile the educated castes with reality, with the majority viewpoints and majority values, if they fail to adapt then we need to remove them from their positions altogether.

Dear Paul1405,

Ah you are a better man than I my friend. You have sought to deal with these three amigos with humour. I dip the brim to you good sir because I will admit to have mostly lost that capacity quite a ways back. You see all I can find in front of me is a holocaust denier, a virtual stalker who is a persistent bit of unpleasantness, and a zealot who appears to determinedly bring up sex with young girls in almost ever post he makes on this forum be it in regards to Muslims, Aboriginals or whomever. Really creepy stuff.

Just thinking of them as them right wing bigots is being totally disrespectful to those fine folk who proudly tout that label.

In fact individual where are you? Come on back son, in the light of day and after a decent ale you really ain't half bad. You certainly are not as nicked in the head as this lot, nor are you intent on creeping people out.

What is somewhat intriguing is the fact that these three actually try to lecture the rest of us about moral behaviour.

Now what were Julia's words...?
