AJ,

Inter-racial marriages have always been legal in Australia, with qualifications in places like the NT in relation to 'wards'. In SA, in the earliest days, if a white man married an Aboriginal woman, she could get a lease of land which he could work. But he lost access to it if she died. Of the hundred or so land leases taken up by Aboriginal people by the end of the nineteenth century, perhaps half a dozen were held by women.

Neither did the government here in SA stand in the way of an Aboriginal man marrying a white woman: in all the cases that I have come across, the Protector in fact provided rations, services, etc., over and above what he was required to. In one case, he arranged the rental (and paid it) for a very ill Aboriginal man, his white wife and their family, in the city (just off Carrington Street). After he died, the Protector kept paying the rent for six months. In another case, a young bootmaker ran off with his supervisor's wife and was helped to set up shop in Adelaide, where he worked for the next fifty-odd years (at Glenelg).

Please leave this odious comparison with homosexual marriage alone.

AJ has become an ' expert' at pointing out faults of previous generations while being totally oblivous to the sick degrading secular culture we have today. Such self righteousness must make him feel so smug.

Dear AJ,

Some people have got what's left of their life's to
continue to be jerks. Don't you wish that they'd
take some time off from this forum?

I admire your patience.

You are wrong AJ. Many young people do not support SSM.

And many do!

In any case -

We shall see what Australia has decided on
Wednesday 15th Nov. 2017 when the ABS will
let us know the results.

Apparently there's been a large turn-out of
young people voting.

Interesting times ahead.

//You are wrong AJ. Many young people do not support SSM.//

Bit too late to be claiming that the numbers are on your side, dear. Voting has closed. By this time tomorrow we'll have the results... you might want to consider mentally preparing yourself for the possibility of a defeat just in case not everybody agrees with you as much as you imagine they do.
