Foxy,

Where would we be without Google ?

"The Uluru Statement offers a way to recognise and empower First Nations of Australia to take responsibility for their affairs ...... "

So what's to stop them now ? And for the last forty or fifty years ?

Joe

Joe,

So what's to stop them now - the same thing that's
stopped them for decades.

The Australian Government.

As Scott Morrison declared - it won't happen on
his watch.

One can only hope this changes - and soon.
This unfinished business needs to be corrected.

cont'd ...

Where would we be without Google?

Speak for yourself. I've got other sources.
Oh, that's right - you've got your one blog -
"First sources?" How's that working for you?

Loudmouth, seeing as how Foxy has moved on, matters not, I was addressing this response to you as well even though it relates mainly to Foxy's comments.
I'm incensed that I am expected to give special sway to the blacks, simply because some people think it is justified.
I openly and steadfastly admit to not giving the slightest interest or credence to ANYTHING the blacks demand or expect us to feel guilty about so for the life of me I wish people like Foxy would just stop pushing this guilt trip as if there is any substance to the claims.
Things like Ayres Rock Statements from the Heart.
You see, Foxy and Co, refuse to see the subtle movement creeping in and without notice.
The bl**dy thing is called Ayers Rock.
This is NOT Abostralia, but if we don't stop this slight of hand take over of the blacks it will eventually be.
Today Ayers Rock, tomorrow something else, until we are paying the blacks to live in our own homes.
I am angered at the arrogance and cheek of these people to even consider such demands.
I'm beginning to think that not only is Foxy naive but by promoting these causes, also makes her arrogant.
I think the blacks have been more than rewarded and tolerated, to the point where enough is enough.
What I am trying to explain is already happening.
We can't go places anymore because of some BS con called, 'Sacred Sites'.
You would choke if you saw how many places are now out of bounds to the white fellas because of these Sacred Sites BS.
Oh but no we can still go there, nobody is stopping us, Foxy would say, but what she wouldn't say is that now, we have to pay the blacks for the privilege.
Who were scumbags who approved such stupid ideas.
Having the arrogance to ask is expected of these greedy un-entitled lot, but the ones who approved these things is to blame.
This trend, now a precedent, must not be allowed to continue but stopped and reversed.

Aaaaaand she's back.
Foxy, I thought you were finished with this thread, apparently not.
Anyway, as Loudmouth rightly asks and you reply with 'the Australian govt'.
You do realise that by your own admission and argument, the Aust Govt is US, don't you?
So, US, WE, the people are saying NO to this outrageous, arrogant, insulting and completely baseless without a shred of justification, grab for an unjustified recognition of something which never happened and are definitely, therefore, not entitled to.
You, being the only one who hopes this changes, and soon,the rest of us don't.
And as for 'this unfinished business needs to be corrected', NO it does not.
Stop pushing these fallacious and baseless claims, you are insulting the 99% very patient and tolerant Aussies with your stupid irrelevant claims.
How many times do you have to be told we did not dispossess anyone, we came we settled and we did not push them out into the water,they were and always have been on this land and in this country.
If you are claiming we have removed them from a piece of land they called 'home',then you are way off.
They have told us forever they are transient and the idea of 'owning' land was alien and completely unknown to them, their culture and their beliefs, so where do you or anyone else get off accusing the white fella of anything but trying to help them.
Just to put the final nail in your coffin, because you keep saying there is no ulterior motive to the blacks push for whatever they call it, just look across the pond to NZ, and see what a disaster their stupid kindness did to them and how that's now working for them.
The cops have been tearing their hair out because they get told by the Maori that they (the Maori) don't believe in white man's law, they have their own and so they abide by their own law.
That people is a taste of where this very possibly will end up.
It IS possible because it IS happening right now.

Something referred to as 'traditional law' has already been sucked up by our gutless politicians, without the benefit of a referendum: in a few months time, it will not be permitted by an unelected minority for anyone to climb Ayers Rock, slap bang in the middle of Australia, a tourist attraction belonging to all Australians. What a piss-weak lot white Australians have become.
