Foxy,

The next question is whether we are then expected to change the anthem each time a new group has a grievance?

Tex Morton, a Kiwi, wrote a far better anthem
Country and western ledgend the man loved both his birth country and ours

SM,

This group is not a new group - they've been here
before us. This was their land. We're the new lot.
So I think they've a right to be heard. They've waited
for more than two centuries. They are now seeking a
fairer relationship and a renewed appreciation of an
ancient culture. They deserve to be heard.

Belly,
Can you find a link to the anthem Tex Morton wrote?

I am familiar with some of his songs but not one that I would class as an anthem. Most interested and that takes me back to my childhood and listening to early morning radio. Just a year or two.

Dear Belly,

I'll second that.

I'm not familiar with Tex Morton and would
love to learn more.

SM, just to clarify the 'bleeding hearts' version of history.
This was NEVER THEIR LAND.
By their own admission they never owned anything.
By their own admission the land did not belong to anyone.
History tells us they came from elsewhere, North of us, and if Australia kept on going South, they probably would have too.
Some dropped off along the way and formed tribes and groups.
We (the white man) on the other hand, came along and took over, and now-a-days, we, the white man OWNS this land, if for no other reason other than we have TITLES, and receipts which tell everyone who BOUGHT the land and HOW MUCH they paid for it.
Can they do the same?
At best they were a contradiction between TRANSIENTS and SQUATTERS.
Because their pretense is historic, it holds no sway today as time has moved things along and WE are now the new owners.
The claim that a handfull of bleeding hearts want change pails into insignificance against the opposing views which are held by the millions, and therefore far outweigh those of the few, no matter how important some people may think they are.
Adding to the irrelevance of this arrogant so and so, the gall of the man to even think we owe him and his lot $500 million in back pay.
Back pay?
For doing what?
Nah, ignore the fool!
As I've said before; 'keep your mouth shut and be though a fool, rather than speak and have it confirmed'.
This guy is a classic confirmation of this very saying.
If the next generation feel the need to make changes, so be it, but not because of this guy and the few who think they know better than the many.
