This is just disgusting, I found this on ninemsn. I don’t think it would qualify as a “news report” as it really just a relay of a quote from a young lady with no intelligence or any understanding of history.

Jesinta Campbell - I don't think a white person can determine what's racism and what's not, what affects someone and what doesn't affect someone, 'cause it's not our experience."

Lowest intelligence rating within our county...?

How about the treatment of the Irish by the English.
The French and the Spanish, what would you call this?
The ethnic tensions in the Balkan's.
One can only assume, she has never hear of the term "Nazi"
Have you read the history of Poland, do you know any European history?

This is only a fraction, this is a new's report based on the opinion of someone that clearly doesn't know any history.

"Not our experience," Jesinta Campbell... get real. I have experienced racism and I am white, do you live in a bubble?

I experience extreme jealousy in the form of racism.

Jeremy Halligar the reporter/journalist states in the title of the report "Jesinta Campbell gets real about Australian 'invasion'"

You get real Jeremy, obvious you have an agenda of your own which has nothing to do with equality or peace. Why use a quote from a source of no quality or suitability to create greater segregation, how about a positive approach.

Everyone cares about their own agenda, what good is this for our nation

Shellbapples, what an aggressive, nasty post for your first one on Online Opinion Forum. Charming indeed.
Have you been here before in another guise?

Just so you know, I don't usually respond to racists who discuss skin colour like you do.
Have a nice day.

Suze,

Historical facts are either correct or not, in themselves are neither moral nor ethical. Judgements and opinions on the morals and ethics are based on the time frame in which they are made, and the bent of the author.

While the settlement of Aus was opportunistic and dismissive of the natives, given the primitive nature of the aboriginals, there no doubt that at some time within a couple of decades some european or asian power would have settled Australia, and history has shown that the indigenous populations in British colonies in general fared far better than in other colonies.

Grow up.

Dear Shadow Minister,

Thank You for this discussion.

I've learned so much from it.

It's interesting learning so muxh more about British
colonisation and subsequent land laws which were
established on the claim that Australia was terra
nullius thereby justifying acquisition by occupation
without treaty or payment which effectively denied
Indigenous people's prior occupation of and
connection to the land.

I Googled the Mabo case and learned that on 20 May 1982
Eddie Mabo and 4 other Indigenous Meriam people began
their legal claim for ownership of their traditional
lands on the island of Mer in the Torres Strait. They
claimed that their people had:

1) Continuously inhabited and exclusively possessed
these lands.

2) They lived in permanent settled communities.

3) They had their own political and social organisation.

On these grounds the Mabo case sought recognition of the
Meriam people's rights to this land.

I was amazed to learn that the case was heard over ten
years. Finally it came before the High Court of Australia
and on the 3rd January 1992 the High Court ruled by a
majority of six to one - for the Meriam peoples.

The High Court's judgement in the Mabo case
resulted in the introduction of the
doctrine of Native Title into Australian law,
thereby removing the myth of terra nullius and
establishing a legal framework for Native Title
claims by Indigenous Australians.

The judgement ruled that the common law as it
existed:

1) Violated international human rights norms.

2) Denied the historical reality of Indigenous people's
disposition.

Native Title recognises that Indigenous Australians have
a prior claim to land taken by the British Crown since
1770. It also replaces the "legal fiction" of terra nulius
which formed the foundation of British claims to land
ownership in Australia.
