nicknamenick,
Forget that trivia, the 13th Feb marked the anniversary of Rudd's apology to the 'Stolen Children'. However an Indigenous politician from Arnhem Land is alleging that the practise if continuing to this day(!) http://www.abc.net.au/pm/content/2016/s4619019.htm Perhaps you can help Andrew Bolt out with a list of ten (10) 'stolen children', ie., children that were not removed because of serious abuse and neglect.

Philips:
It is quite simple you either need to find a way to stop the behaviour of mine which you find necessary to complain about or to stop complaining about it. They are the only logical things for you to do. The more you avoid those things the more cowardly you look. Posted by phanto, Tuesday, 14 February 2017 9:12:50 PM

Thanks for the clarification, phanto. It’s consistent with your suggestion that I flag your posts for deletion.
<<It is quite simple you either need to find a way to stop the behaviour of mine which you find necessary to complain about or to stop complaining about it.>> So what you’re saying is that I have only have two options: (i) find a way to stop your silly behaviour, or (ii) remain silent; and that if I don’t take either of those two options, then I will look like I lack courage in a way that is contemptible. <<The more you avoid those things the more cowardly you look.>> You need to go into more detail here if you want your claim to be taken seriously. I’m not seeing the logic. Tell me, how would rejecting both your recommended courses of action render me a coward? Let’s say, for example, that I respond to you because I want to prevent others from mistakenly thinking that you have a point when you don’t - how does that demonstrate a contemptible lack of courage on my behalf? I’m starting to think you don’t know what ‘cowardly’ means, either. Posted by AJ Philips, Tuesday, 14 February 2017 9:47:19 PM

Dear Nick,
You asked me to add: "Meanwhile a spokesperson for the Attorney-General’s Department told TIME it hadn’t replied to the Murrawarri People’s Council assertion of sovereignty because “there are no constitutional means available for the establishment of separate political communities in Australia,”" The people of the Culgoa River region (the fact that they happen to be aboriginal should not make a difference) never asked for a "separate political community" - they claimed independence from Australia altogether, hence whatever's written in Australia's constitution does not apply to them and their land. Once the said department are willing to wear their thinking-hats, ask them: "Is Christmas Island part of Australia?". If a remote island that is not part of the continent of Australia can still be part of the state of Australia, then what stops a region within the continent of Australia from not being part of the state of Australia? The Attorney-General would be wise to consider sending an ambassador to the Culgoa River region to establish friendly relations with its people. Now Philip is absolutely correct to assert that independent people are not eligible for social security or any other dole payments. However, I doubt his estimate that «They will soon quickly change their minds» and sell their mother[land] for a few bucks of dole. Posted by Yuyutsu, Wednesday, 15 February 2017 1:09:12 AM

Beg to differ, if independent absolutely everything provided then does not have to be provided security, medical, the right to access Australian land.

"Foxy, will you tell NNN, to tell BP, to tell AJP, to tell Yuyutsu, to tell Banjo, to tell PS, to tell phanto to tell Paul1405, that I have nothing to tell him."
You just told us something.
