The difference is - we are all living on the land
of our Aboriginal people. They were here first.
And they were never consulted about what was done.
Or how ti was done and by whom.

Foxy you have perpetrated the lie that aboriginals are second class. It is you who has to treat them as equal, rather than claim they are not equal. Reconciliation is a two way acceptance of the equality of the other, rather than treat we are settlers on aboriginal land. Two hundred years of history has been shared and rather than class or entitlement be identified we all must accept equality and stop the two Nation rhetoric.

Yep and my British relatives were here before you Foxy. I was never asked about how I felt about other Europeans coming here. Personally I don't see the land that my wife and I worked for belonging to the aboriginals. If I would go back to Scotland and ask for the land of my ancestors I would be laughed out of the place.

Josephus,

There's not point in talking to you .
You're so ignorant it's not funny.

runner,

They don't want your land. They're not after private land.
They want what's theirs. Fair and square.

BTW:

The future of this country lies in uplifting our
Indigenous people into the mainstream. It will take
strong leadership to do precisely that. Scott
Morrison just may surprise us all. After all he is
a Christian and does practice his religion unlike
some.

On another tack can only non-indigenous people be capable of this horrendous crime?
JBoyer,
Of course not, I have personally witnessed more racist behaviour from indigenous but more idiotic from non-indigenous towards indigenous & they're the ones I'm on about.
Flogging doesn't work due to the no brain-no pain with too many. What does hurt the most is a fine, the hip-pocket nerve is the most sensitive part of an Okker's body !
