Dear Bazz,
The federal government departments adopt all 3 conditions. As listed on a case by case basis. As for my typing errors when citing links. I need eye surgery and I have trouble with smaller print. However due to covid - I have to wait a while. Anyway, here's the previous link again: http://www.sbs.com.au/topics/voices/culture/article/2016/12/07/heres-truth-free-ride-some-australians-think-indigenous-peoples-get Posted by Foxy, Wednesday, 9 June 2021 2:01:54 PM

Sorry Bazz, made another mistake - blind as a bat! I'll try again (don't laugh): http://www.sbs.com.au/topics/voices/culture/article/2016/12/07/heres-truth-about-free-ride-some-australians-think-indigenous-peoples-get Posted by Foxy, Wednesday, 9 June 2021 2:06:53 PM

Well argued Bazza and Hazza
For the truth telling Off of Foxy and Paul14 I draw your attention to the words of Mr Mike Mansell http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Mansell who is "a Tasmanian Aboriginal leader who, as an activist and lawyer, has worked for social, political and legal changes to improve the lives and social standing of Tasmanian Aboriginal (Palawa) people." NOTING: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Mansell#Activism_and_commentary "In 2001 Mansell stated that "there were more phoney than real Aborigines in Tasmania and more than half the voters in the 1996 ATSIC election were not Aboriginal".

Tks Foxy,
Yes many people think they get all sorts of privilege. The government has put many $Billions over the years into various schemes. As I said earlier I filled in a government form recently for some benefit , can't remember what is was,but aborigines could get it at 40 and above and I could get it at 50 and above. It was not the only time I have seen that "racist" "privilege". That reinforces peoples belief in all the silly rumours. You did not make it clear if there was an "and" between each condition or if there was an "or" between each. Big difference. Remember the Blue Eyed Tasmanian aborigine that was prominent some time ago. His complexion was darker so there he was a demonstration of the difficulty.

Ah yes Plantagenet, Michael Mansell. It appears a lot of the
Tasmanians have blue eyes. I recollect an article I read many years ago about the idea that the Tasmanian aborigines are a different people to the mainland people and that they arrived earlier than the Koori people we are now calling the first nation, a Canadian term. A thorough DNA examination may tell a lot of new history. There have been big advances in that field in recent years. Posted by Bazz, Wednesday, 9 June 2021 3:36:23 PM

I suggested some time ago that you install Tinyurl.com.
When you have a web page you want to send a url to someone you have
the page open and click on the Tinyurl button on the menu bar and it
produces the Tinyurl version of the desired page which can then be
copied into an email etc.
Back to business; The conditions you list to define an aborigine is
that any one of the three or do all three conditions have to be met ?
Pardon me for a minute Foxy:
Paul, for heaven's sake stop being stupid, you have no sense of humour
all you are doing is making yourself look vicious.
