I've been asking that question off and on for years on these pages. Never answered. Never even addressed. It as though Paul, Foxy, SR etc develop a sudden case of convenient blindness and never see the question asked. The same thing happens when I raise the issue of rampant aboriginal domestic violence. Utter silence ensues.

The reasons are obvious. These people like to use aboriginal issues to advance a political agenda but don't in the end really care whether their virtue signalling helps actual disadvantaged aboriginals at all. They can't possibly talk about domestic violence in traditional aboriginal communities because that won't advance the cause. Equally acknowledging that the current aboriginals have ancestors who were 'oppressor' as well as 'oppressed' doesn't help the cause and is therefore ignored.

mhaze,

With all due respect.
We can't answer what we don't read.
And we don't read what you write - most of the
time. Sorry. You've set the bar too low

That's what I said, Foxy, "a sudden case of convenient blindness". Quite remarkable that you only fail to read the posts that have questions you can't and won't answer. What'a the chances?

mhaze,

I want to apologise to you.

That was not "cool." to say what I did.
I've had a bad day - so please excuse me.
Of course I read your posts. And if I
don't answer - it's probably for a variety
of reasons at that time.

Anyway - keep on telling me what I'm doing
wrong - and I shall try to do better.

Hi Foxy,

Never apologise, never explain.

As for any question posed by Indy, I am very circumspect, he's not always nice to me like he should be, calls me names sometimes. But lets answer his question (is there a prize attached) when I find it.

I've found it;

"What would you (Paul405) suggest should be done about people who always expect others to put up an effort. You're one of them so, what is it & what should the rest of us do to make you pull some of your weight some of the time ?

A SENIORS NATIONAL SERVICE! Get them non contributing old folks out of the bingo halls and 'god's waiting room' and into some productive physical work out there in the sunshine. Make them earn that Aged Welfare!

Do you have any other questions Indy, I'll be happy to answer them for you.

If you want to know how best to reconcile with our Indigenous brothers and sisters, honesty in truth telling would be a good start, read my opening post and what Joe Biden had to say. Many Australians still suffer from some kind of historical amnesia when it comes to honesty in telling the truth about our past treatment of Aboriginal people, and the failings that, that treatment caused, which endure to this very day. Health and educational issues, housing, employment, crime, all sorts of social disadvantage, lack of equality, etc etc, should we go on. Once recognising the history, then we can move on together, in equal partnership, throwing away the hand out to the poor Abo mentality, and creating a better future for ALL Australians.

Aboriginal people have tried to gain the recognition they crave with the 'Uluru Statement from the Heart'. Its up to our national leadership (Morrison and co) to take up the challenge and act on it.

Paul1405,
Why pick on the old ones ? Is it because you're incapable of pulling YOUR socks up ?
Tell from a parasite's view why you want those oldies who have already paid up front, to fork out more ?
