Foxy,
Thanks for the link but it’s mainly advertising; have you got a link to “Welcome to Country”?

The thread starts "SBS and NITV is promoting the idea we should adopt aboriginal culture as our primary culture in Australia"

Now that was probably an exaggeration of what SBS proposed but Foxy spent quite some time trying unsuccessfully to find something in aboriginal culture that might benefit the wider community.

Foxy, realising that her support for that daft notion has been comprehensively ridiculed, now tries to move the gaol posts by suggesting the real issue is giving a segment of society an outsized say in the nation's affairs.

Well that wasn't the original point and isn't what's been discussed. Still its Foxy 101 to change the subject when she's been debunked.

BTW Foxy, any thoughts on the disproportionate rates of DV in the aboriginal community?

Foxy, true love shares things and ideas that benefit your neighbour. Live and let live is a cop-out, instead of love and care. "He that knoweth to do good and does it not, has committed sin." To give concent to culture that treats women as slaves is a return to the Stone Ages.

Why does aboriginal culture want to superseed Western Culture in Australia? The only criterion claimed is that it is 60,000 years old, so in their mind it has superior value. It is all a vague promotion with no real guts or constitution. Tribal elders are dissapointed that their young are being educated in Western values and work disciplines and losing their Stone Age culture.

Much is to be gained for acknowledging Aboriginal history everywhere & Aborigine history is remarkable in its own right.
Inventing new descriptions helps no-one !

mhaze,

They're not asking for an outsized say in the nation's
affairs. Why are you still persisting with that.
You know full well that all they are asking is to have
a real say in the laws, policies, and programs that
affect them. They are asking for parliament to hear
Indigenous voices about Indigenous issues. Which would
help parliament make better and more effective laws for
Indigenous people.

Aborigines want a say in laws that only affect them. Sounds fair at first glance. However, would you want criminals to have a say in laws that only affect them. Laws are made for the good of the community even though they may only affect part of the community.
