Peter Dutton needs to pull his finger out, stop asking for details, oppose the horrible bloody thing, and present voters with practical ideas to help those in need, not a bunch of activists who actually care more for ideology than they do for those people.

Thinking about how everybody nowadays has to make a show of acknowledgement towards aboriginal people before they do anything, like singing the national anthem before school starts every day.

For example:

"We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which our office stands, The Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, and pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging."

Also I thought about this whole 'bend the knee' thing.

I feel like they're trying impose a permanent sense of guilt, not unlike the sense of guilt imposed upon Germans after WWII.

There seems to be this constant reminder that 'This is not your country, you're all immigrants' - this constant attack on white people, and on colonialism.

- Like trying to punish white people for colonialism when none of us were alive back then let alone made the decisions.

And I see it is wretching away the country we built to put everything into the hands of unelected globalist beaurecrats, some kind of global oversight that puts others in charge of our country instead of us.

And you know what's funny about it all, - it's the government posing themselves as the savior of the indigenous, against the people who are accused of being racists.

Who flipped the script?
- That's not how this mess started.

It was the governments policies that targeted the indigenous people, and the people themselves have little control (then or now) over government policies. When all these events occurred we were still a Britsh colony, ruled by Britain.

My ancestor was sent here as a convict, he didn't choose to come, and later ancestor got married to an indigenous Australian.

They wish to push this permanent sense of guilt.
What exactly am I supposed to be guilty of?
What are any of us actually guilty of?

Why must we now make a show of respect to indigenous in everything we do, the Queen herself only gets 10 days of mourning, yet we are now expected to act like we must take a minutes silence before we do anything, permanently.

Tell me why this isn't a dog whistling, mean spirited, and frankly racist question?
SteeleRedux,
It's way less racist than using race when comparing life expectancy between Aborigines & others !

The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.

Conferring privileges and benefits based solely on self-identification is a recipe for perpetual conflict.

To believe that parliament will be able to resist demands articulated by the Voice is a triumph of hope over experience.

Another new indigenous politician, Senator Kerrynne Liddle, South Australia, spoke out against the removal of the cashless card in her maiden speech, citing drunkenness and women going to hospital and the morgue.

Another aboriginal voice for Albanese to ignore, in favour of his trumped up, racist virtue signalling.

Another very loud aboriginal voice was heard over and over again in the Senate yesterday - that of bigmouth Lidia Thorpe, repeatedly refusing the president's instruction to withdraw her description of Senator Antic as a 'racist'. Victorians must be very proud of this female.
