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."
