Australians have it before us to guarantee mutual
respect, kindness and comity in the relationship
between the First Nations and the Australian government.

It's not asking much to hear Indigenous views when parliament
makes decisions about them. It is a modest and moral
request.

It is not beyond this great nation to make it happen.

Gentlemen,

As the old adage states:

"Before you assume
Know the facts
Before you judge
Understand why ...
Before you speak
Think."

Intelligent people speak because they have something to
say. The ignorant because they have to say something.
And the highest form of ignorance is when someone
rejects something they don't know anything about.

Love your work Altrav .

Narelle, thanks for that.
Foxy, I love reading your rubbish.
So many times you have left yourself wide open to be knocked down a peg or two, but we all know you refuse to heel to right or truth, so it is, just a quick word on your last posting.
It so happens, you fall into all of the three categories you have mentioned.
'before you assume', in your case 'preach', know the facts.
'before you judge', in your case 'preach', understand why?
'before you speak, in your case 'preach', think.
Yes I can see you were describing yourself.
Your assumptions 'are' based on facts, YOUR facts.
Your judgements 'are' based on understanding, YOUR understanding. (of the facts)
Your 'speeches' indicate the fact that you don't 'think', because ALL your postings, apart from your regular rants, are in fact other people's comments and thoughts.
It's true name is 'plagiarism'.
So it is that you don't think.
By your own admission, you are always quoting others.
Have you EVER conjured up an original thought of your own?
No I didn't think so.
I don't know why we bother to comment, I think we should ALL stop commenting and let you have this forum all to yourself, as apparently, according to you, you and your comments are the only thing we need to know.
I would say you have the floor, go ahead, but you have never stopped 'having the floor', so as you were.

continued...........

I'll even go so far as to say, 'I'll bet that the last four lines of your last posting are again quoted from someone else'.
Really?

Many of us all learned about the Great pyramid of Giza or
the Colosseum in Ancient Rome, about ancient
civilisations that came before us but little was taught
about the breadth of history on our own doorstep. In fact
our own ancient sites seem to not only be unknown but are
actively destroyed.

Artifacts in Kakadu National Park have been dated
between 65,000 and 80,000 years old,
extending likely occupation of the area
by thousands of years.

Exciting times we live in.
