We can always do better if we really try.
Shocking as it is there is still a lot of work to be done -to promote the social and cultural inclusion of Indigenous Australians. Western civilization has a strong presence in the history curriculum. The Indigenous history also needs to be included. It wasn't until 2011 that the National curriculum implemented across Australia granted educators and teachers chances to tackle the 50,000 year of Aboriginal histories for the first time. The innovation of the National History Curriculum provides opportunities for the Reconciliation of the Aboriginal histories and cultures and helps deconstruct the stereotypes about Australia's history before the British settlement in 1788. In order for things to change we need deeper engagement, respect, and acknowledgement for the 1st Australian's achievements. If we continue to exclude people - we cannot expect anything to change. The sad facts are that new analysis from the Australian National University ( ANU) shows that 75% of Australians tested for unconscious bias hold a negative implicit or unconscious bias against Indigenous Australians proving " a solid invisible barrier that Indigenous people face in society." This need to change and it can - through education and inclusion of our Indigenous people. Posted by Foxy, Thursday, 16 December 2021 10:30:58 AM

In 1629 John Dean aged 8 or 9 was the youngest person legally hanged in England. Although younger children were tortured to death as witchers, by good Christian folk like you. But no ants nest just all sorts of other instruments of torture! Do you good Christians stills beat children with straps and cairns? Posted by Paul1405, Thursday, 16 December 2021 11:19:19 AM

Here is the NITV promotion.
"The campaign asks audiences to rethink our identity as a nation. Together, NITV invites Australians to have an honest conversation about this country’s past, and work towards a future fuelled by the vibrancy of cultures in Australia today, and underpinned by 60,000 years of tradition, resilience and strength of First Nations peoples and cultures.' http://tvblackbox.com.au/page/2021/12/12/nitv-asks-audiences-to-reimagine-australia-as-it-unveils-new-brand/ It promotes aboriginal stories how they immagine their past and they want all cultures to accept them as part of how the World is to be viewed.

Dear Josephus,
Sounds fair enough. We learned about other cultures at school (and are still learning) why not include our own Indigenous people in this education? Thanks for bringing all this to our attention. Well done. Posted by Foxy, Thursday, 16 December 2021 1:27:09 PM

listen to the aboriginal voices and grasp what they want, it is to do with identity with and adoption of 60,000 years of culture and history.
http://www.sbs.com.au/nitv/article/2021/12/02/sasha-sarago-identity-and-decolonising It is not accepting the diversity of multiculturalism, but promoting as the dominant culture because they own the land - other cultures in its view cannot feel the same about the land and do not have a 60,000 year link to this land. So the link to the land and the spirits become the focus of the cultural worship - animism. Posted by Josephus, Thursday, 16 December 2021 1:45:24 PM

aboriginal land management and food processes.
If as it seems we are committed to the green vision of energy and the
general green future design we will need aboriginal techniques to survive.
If there are enough young people who survive the coming madness we
might have enough cultural memory to rebuild better ! Ha !
