Paul 1405, NO I purposely gave the three names, because as it has been said over and over to the point of ad-nauseam, Our academics are not the brightest in the world and in fact talk such crap, if only because they support the loony left and the loony uni environment and alleged students.
So don't expect me to furnish you with anyone with enough intellect and maturity that would even come close to the three I mentioned.
It is typical of the left to promote the mediocre in favour of the exceptional, because they themselves come in well under par, by holding to and promoting underwhelming agenda and flawed expectations.
You may think you have the upper hand with your questions but at present your all flat on your backs scratching your heads, unable or unwilling to give me some examples of which of the brainiacs you have listed, are full blood abo or not.
The question is very easy for people such as yourselves, so what is the problem.
I'll save you the embarrassment, I actually don't care so don't bother answering because I will ignore your vane attempt at trying to point score.
I will end this farcical line of self ingratiation by making a final and firm statement:
There are NO ABO's in uni today.
Catch the more informed and mature of you on another topic.

ALTRAV,

For your information here are just some Indigenous
Academics. You can look each of them up for yourself:

Les Bursil
Gail Garvey
Loretta Kelly
Lynette Riley
Gracelyn Smallwood

And the list goes on.

You really should stop talking about things that you
know nothing about.

Being somewhat proud and not wanting to make it appear I was backing away from a losing challenge, curiosity got the better of me and decided to look into the list of these 'super human abo's' Foxy listed.
Well it didn't take me long to see I was right again.
Boy, you guys like getting the b'jesus kicked out of you.
It did not take long to find I was vindicated, so I thought enough is enough.
I fell for it again.
You halfwits will go to ANY length to win a point.
Well you lost again.
The ones I traced as anything resembling academics, you know the people who go to uni and actually come away with something other than an 'arts' degree in crayon painting or some other boronic subject, yes boronic, did in fact have mixed blood or at least one European parent or ancestor.
Which proves my point.
I realised I was just facilitating you and your petty, petulant stance so I decided, enough.
The proof is below.
Read em'n weep!

Neville Bonner, 'abo mother of the Jagera people, and an ENGLISH father'.
Linda Burney 'is of wiradjuri and SCOTTISH descent".
Kath Walker, 'had German, Spanish, Philippine and Scottish ancestry'.
Pat O'Shane, 'Irish, Australian father and an abo mother'.
Ernie Dingo, ;On my fathers side, I am Scandinavian and English'.
Samantha Harris, 'mother abo?, father, German-English descent'.
Tanya Orman, 'Tanya's mother an abo, father a British immigrant'.

I could not be bothered to look up any more, so do yourselves a big favour and you look up the rest, at least it'll keep you off OLO for at least, hmmm, a month, by that time you might understand what most of your list actually means, ie;
That the success rate of your so called abo students are directly correlated to their European heritage.
The stats don't lie.
You same twats are always asking for proof, well?
Seeing as how you were NEVER going to respond to my question about uni attendees you call abo's, are in fact just plain old Aussies, like the rest of us.

ALTRAV, simply saying "Our academics are not the brightest in the world", does not make it so, its nothing more than your opinion. The fact is you are hard pressed to name anyone of substance who is in the public eye in Australia, who would substantially agree with your line of thinking. Not finding anyone of substance agreeing with your cuckoo notions, you have to retreat to a position where you claim everyone else is lacking in intelligent thinking, but not you. Well it might be you who is out of kilter, and not those you claim are "not the brightest". Have you ever thought of that, or are you just going to bag out the academics, and anyone else who doesn't agree with you?

No Paul, I don't have to waste my time bagging the LACADEMICS, because we already have read in these posts where the professors have come out bagging the uni's and their poor performance and ergo poor international standings.
If you and your mates don't like what is being said, too bad, go cry in the corner, until you learn to accept the 'real' world and not this contrived fantasy I keep having to wade through continually.
Oh and by the way, the new list Foxy put out in an inane attempt at regaining some degree of respectability, looks as flawed as the previous list.
I'll remind you all once more.
There are no abo's in uni's, only Aussies!

ALTRAV, //we already have read in these posts where the professors have come out bagging the uni's and their poor performance and ergo poor international standings.// That statement proves nothing without substantive evidence to support the assertion, where is that evidence? What I will concede is that in any large organisation, or field of endeavour, there will be a number of malcontents, who are dissatisfied for various reason, some have genuine gripes, some have a personal gripe, and some do it to have a general winge. If you would like to provide bonafide evidence to back up what you say, it would be most welcome.
