Hi Foxy,

Thanks for the link, in my view the Morrison government is looking for an out, someway of giving Aboriginal people a "voice" but only on the white mans terms, no real voice at all. Aboriginal people offered the Uluru Statement, and Turnbull rejected it out of hand. That rejection by Turnbull showed the Coalition is not serious about recognition. If Morrison is returned the talkfest will continue but nothing of substance will flow from it. Only the adoption of the Uluru Statement and a referendum giving constitutional recognition will do.

Did they call it payback?
Foxy,
Even though when they were the aggressors in the first place ?

Issy, are they the same hunting weapons our ancestors used to exterminate thousands of Aboriginal people. We can't change history, but we can recognise it, and learn from it.

ttbn, good idea, 26th January you should go down to the sea shore and pay a visit to your relatives, Uncle and Aunty Slime and all the little Slimes.

This sort of clickbait banged out before every Australia Day is as predictable and boring as the instructions given to parents every year on the TV 'news' at the beginning of the school year on what sort of shoes they should buy their children. That's those permitted to go to school by the health tyrants.

Talking to tourists the other day & they told me how disappointed they were when the paid good money to watch an Aborigine dance group but all the performers were nothing short of European looking !

The changes that might be made by a referendum must have a sunset clause.
Think about it; in say 200 years there would be a group of people who
are 1/32 part aboriginal who will claim any rights available.
Already there are many aboriginals who you would never pick as such.
They could end up as selective as those claiming to be Norman Knights
or the Aristocrats of the country.

Any legislation based on race HAS to have a sunset clause.
