Luciferase,
Hopefully it won't take another 40,000 years to rise above our past. Posted by Foxy, Tuesday, 22 October 2019 3:08:35 PM

Another piece of good news in Indigenous education:
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-08-03/miraculous-indigenous-education-rates-complete-year-12-qld/10069150 In short, this ABC article shows that, according to ABS figures, Indigenous students in Queensland are completing Year 12 at almost the same rate as non-Indigenous students. Next stop: university. A game-changer. Joe Posted by Loudmouth, Tuesday, 22 October 2019 3:24:53 PM

Dear Joe,
A game changer? Nah. Not quite.. But a good step in the right direction, for sure. Posted by Foxy, Tuesday, 22 October 2019 3:33:16 PM

Surely it depends on how and by whom you're raised ?
Loudmouth, Well, in general I'd think that to be the case but on the other hand I have heard of quite a number of cases where people said they weren't aware that they were Aborigine until they were told. Where does that leave the notion of that special inner feeling of being Aborigine ? Would you agree/disagree that there would not be as many people identifying as Aborigine if it were not for the privileges associated with being or at least claiming to be indigenous to Australia ? I am of the opinion that the Aborigines should be & have already been massively compensated for having much of their land colonised but they should also not dismiss the Goodwill of so many born & living here now. Another question have asked here quite a number of times is, I would like the Aborigines tell us once & for all which Nationality of migrants they would prefer settling here. So far it is unanswered ! Posted by individual, Tuesday, 22 October 2019 4:11:38 PM

Individual,
Read my previous post on page 18 where I quote Stan Grant. He answers your question quite clearly. Posted by Foxy, Tuesday, 22 October 2019 4:15:46 PM

they sound very silly to any thinking person today Luciferase. To many people in the industry might have to get a real job if they can't fight for this nonsense.
