Oh good...so we're dealing with perfectly rational people then.

I wonder why there isn't a solution?

Perhaps because there's no question, just tantrums.

WHAT DO WE WANT!! WE WANT! WE WANT!

Well I've posted what we want in the last post. And Governments are supposed to comply according to Foxy.

You see Foxy, no one really knows what they want. They want to sit by fires at the waterhole and roast a kangaroo, wombat or two with the mates. For fun run a few spears through the adjoining tribe, which they have been doing for thousands of years. Those that assimilate to our laws and contribute to Australian society are reconciled, they do not need modern smoking ceremonies and welcome to country and endless apologies.

Abolish Australia, not just Australia Day
Josephus,
A lot of so-called Indigenous would not survive as many didn't before the invasion !

Josephus,

Thank you for the rant from an Aboriginal person.
It just goes to show that there are nutters and
extremists in all groups.

However, as I wrote earlier - in relation to the
past administration of Aboriginal affairs it should
be recognised that Aboriginal people have continuously
resisted the imposition of much of government's
legislation. The official records reflect this
opposition.

And they have also stated, especially in the Uluru Statement
what it is they are after. However as I stated earlier,
the government refuses to listen. Hopefully, the new
Aboriginal Minister Ken Wyatt may be able to achieve more
than others have done in the post. He may succeed in
presenting an acceptable model that the government can accept.
Although I won't be holding my breath.

There is an aboriginal industry who's members do very well out of making sure there is always an underclass of drunken, wife beating, child molesting bludgers for them to administer.

As for these aboriginals as the old saying still goes, "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink", "you can throw billions at the bludging yobbos of the aboriginal race, but you can't improve their wellbeing", without them wanting improvement.

Meanwhile how about someone reconciling me to the billions wasted on a useless cause.

Dear Hassie,

If our governments keep on pursuing the same old
policies, programs, and incentives that they've
done to date and which haven't worked - in other
words if they keep doing what they've done in the past
they'll keep getting the same results - more wasting
of money. How about actually giving our Aboriginal
people a voice and responsibility in their own affairs
instead of telling them what to do - letting them do it?

It's worked with native peoples in other countries -
why is Australia not following suit?
