"On December 30, protesters set fire to Old Parliament House. They shouted about Indigenous rights and colonisation, clashed with police and flew the Aboriginal flag. They were heard yelling “let it burn” as the fire took hold."

"Greens senator and Indigenous activist Lidia Thorpe struck a different tone, tweeting: “Seems like the colonial system is burning down. Happy New Year everyone.”

Why is everyone ignoring this? If these protesters had been conservatives there would be a procession of arrests, a royal commission etc.

The evidence of terrorism is on video. It has been presented on national TV. These people need to be removed from society, and the whole "First Nations" nonsense and people with connections - many very dubious - to aboriginality treated like everybody else.

shadow minister,

Who exactly do you think is ignoring this?

Arrests have been made and this group is an
extremist group that has been condemned.
There's been coverage in the media - and on this
forum. Why are you wanting to flog it? Looks
like an attempt at diversion from the current
problems within politics.

Well, haven't seen anything on ABC TV about such arrests !

individual,

Check on the web.

There's plenty of links and coverage by the ABC.
Also on YouTube. Spoilt for choice.

Foxy,

This is the ABC "Canberra's Old Parliament House forced to close after protesters accidentally set fire to front door" when there was nothing accidental about it.

So now we have aboriginal extremists? There were 30 protesters none of whom lifted a finger to put out the fires or prevent the arson attacks and:

"A 30-year-old Victorian man (aboriginal) was arrested on Sunday as part of a joint investigation by the Australian Federal Police and ACT Policing. He has been charged with arson and damaging Commonwealth property. Three other arrests were made on Saturday — two of those individuals were charged with assaulting a frontline service provider and the third was charged with hindering a territory official."

It looks as though most of these aboriginal protesters were "extremists"

Foxy,

Also, this fictitious "extremist group" that has never been identified or named before sounds like a fabrication to shift the blame from the real culprits.

The ABC and other left whingers could never bring themselves to admit that the fires were deliberately set twice by aboriginal activists. Lidia Thorpe also showed her extremist colours by her statement.

shadow minister,

It appears that you are determined to continue to flog
this old news of calculated arson by an activist rabble
that has already been covered in the news and condemned
by the Aboriginal Tent Embassy in Canberra. Indigenous
Leaders have made it quite clear that these people do
not represent them.

This topic has been covered on this forum.
You want to discuss it further.
Go right ahead.

I have nothing further to add.

Foxy,

This topic has not been the subject of a previous tread on OLO and while I can see that you are desperate to cover this up, the rest of us can continue to discuss this with or without you.

Around the "tent embassy" there has been a continuous group of noisy and sometimes violent activists and protesters. While the indigenous leaders may not have directly planned the arson, they cannot resile from the fact that they created the conditions that lead to this arson.

If they had distanced themselves from these aboriginal "extremists" before the fire they might have some credibility. Instead, the extremist Lidia Thorpe is representing them in parliament.

shadow minister,

I told you I have nothing further to add.
It's all been said on the discussion Josephus
raised "Reimagine Australia Adopting 60,000
year old culture." This topic began on page 48
and continued - up to page 60.

Done and dusted.

BTW: Look up "Warriors of Aboriginal Resistance."
You may learn something new.

Foxy,

Because you had a conversation with another poster at the tail end of an unrelated thread you claim that this topic is done and dusted. You can feel free not to participate, but it is far from done and dusted.

You previously claimed that anti-vaxxers were involved without a shred of evidence. There is no indication that there was anyone other than aboriginal protesters and whether or not the tent embassy gave them "permission" their link to the protesters is persuasive and there is zero evidence that the arson was committed by anyone other than aboriginal protesters.

"The notion that Indigenous people who stand for Aboriginal sovereignty and against mandatory vaccination are under the spell of alt-right or white conspiracy theorists strikes me as paternalistic. The desire to distance Indigenous activism from its more militant expression is understandable. However, the existence of diverse views among Indigenous people, or any ethnic group, is generally held to be indicative of political maturity even when those views are irrational or rejected by the mainstream.

The activists involved in setting fire to Old Parliament House should be held responsible for it. Those who facilitated the attack by inciting the violence, shielding the assailant or trying to obstruct police or emergency services workers should also be held accountable. At least some of the protesters were Aboriginal rights activists who oppose the democratically elected Australian government. The moment they set fire to the heart of our democracy, they lost the war for their cause."

Check on the web.
Foxy,
Easy for you to suggest, you probably don't have to rely on Telstra.

The person charged claims he is a "sovereign citizens" and is not subject to any law, white or black. He is also an anti-vaxxer. Does this shock you SM, a darkie in the ranks, and you though your nut club was an all white affair.

When actually it should be “Whites” burning down the front doors to the “Temple of Democracy”.
They are definitely the biggest losers.

Up the other end of the aboriginal stratification, are the land councils.
Happily selling off the generous gifts of their freely given land, granted them for cultural purposes by the White bands of parliamentary elitists, to Lebanese Mafia criminals successfully ensconced in NSW Parliament. Land developers all; a tardy stinking criminal bunch of societal unreliables!

Dan

Talking of fires, some Christian nut jobs in Colorado started a fire that killed several and burnt down 1,000 homes.

Good ‘ol Christians, in true fashion they stand up and take the rap for that ‘ol devil climate change.
That’s refreshing!

Dan

Paul1405.

It's interesting that being an anti-vaxxer sovereign citizen puts him firmly alongside One Nation Senator Malcolm Roberts.

Also, we already have laws in place to deal with this arsonist without it becoming some sort of special case.

Pauliar,

That there are plenty of "darkies in your ranks" of nut job anti-vaxxers is absolutely no surprise as you and Lidia Thorpe are two of many idiots.

Yes DD,

They were barbecuing the sacrificial lamb at the time when God appeared to them which caused these good folk to speak in tongues. As you know when standing around the BBQ in 47 degree heat, partaking of the Kool-Aid, and having God appear to you, sounds like some on this forum, one is likely to forget that sacrificial lamb roasting away for dinner.The rest is history. BTW, I raised this subject fundo Christians and fire on the Forum before, and one poster shamelessly blamed that nice Mr Nero with burning down Rome, you're not going to blame nice Mr Nero for this are you?

Shortly after setting fire to the old parliament building in a similar fashion to the US Capitol invasion of Jan 6 2021, Aboriginal activists tried to storm the old parliament building.

Is this another day of infamy?

Shonky,

What are you claiming now, it was Aboriginals from Australua who stormed the Yankee Capatol last year. Was it not you at the head of the riot, with your red, white and blue face, and buffalo horns on your mellon?

Pauliar,

Were you the aboriginal anti-vaxxer arsonist?

This is shame and should not be accepted behaviour from the people. These type of people don't know anything about the freedom just want to exploit the things.
