Josephus,

I don't believe anything you tell us about yourself.

If you did even half of what you claim. You would
not have such a narrow- world view.

Dear Paul,

I agree with you about the approach the Government
should try by involving Indigenous leaders and
communities. Exclusion and division has never
inspired any one to change their ways - especially
young people. Teachers can make a world of difference
in a child's life as we know. Infortunately, good
caring teachers are a rare breed. Putting children
down instead of lifting them up has negative
effects.

As for books? At the moment I've ordered a book
that should be interesting from "Readings," -
"Stalin's Englishman," by Andrew Lownie. Its
about Guy Burgess and the Cambridge Spy Ring.
It's been reduced to $16.99 (normal price was
$39.99). Sounds like a good read.

Dear Paul,

Back to the subject.

There's a couple of other books that you might be
interested in getting hold of (if you haven't
already done so). " Black and Blue,"by Veronica
Gorrie who was an Aobriginal police officer. It's
a memoir of racism and resilience. Anita Heiss's
novel - "River of Dreams," on colonisation, and
of course Stan Grant's "With The Falling of The
Dusk," which is a good read - and shows where
we are today and how we got there.

Now do not tell me Stan Grant lives off aboriginal welfare. Surely Not?That Foxy would want us believe he is a second class citizen not equal to any other Australian. It is this attitude that breeds division and fires BLM.

Josephus,

Paul asked me for book titles. I gave him a few suggestions
including the one by Stan Grant. Why on earth would
you think Stan Grant is on welfare?
Because of his Indigenous ancestry? What does that say
about you?
Once again - your narrow world-view is showing.

For your information:

Stan Grant - apart from being an Australian TV news
and political journalist and TV presenter since the 1990s
is also a writer on Indigenous and other issues. As of 2021
he holds the Vice Chancellor's Chair of Indigenous
Studies at Charles Sturt University.

On welfare indeed!

Shame on you!

Josephus,

And your claim that I would want people to believe that
Stan Grant is a second-class citizen? That opinion of
yours should be hurled with full force where the sun
doesn't shine and you along with it - you ignorant creature!
