As we can see from the blatantly disrespectful, abusive, untruthful, deceptive and malign intentions of this PM and his aboriginal and other cohorts, there IS not, and never will be, any 'reconciliation'! It's unbelievable to watch them demanding and bullying everyone as if they own our country and have ALL the answers, treading our Constitution into the gutter (which protects the rights of ALL Australians as it is now - NO change is even needed!), and revealing such hate and determination to divide the people of Australia, that 'reconciliation' has become an oxymoron! And all THEIR hate, racism and blind determination to 'win' whatever it is they think they're winning, is creating only MORE division and hate in return, and if the Constitution is changed as they intend, will irreversibly destroy the rights of the 97% majority of Australians! What's it going to take to make them WAKE UP?

Let me tell you something about cathy freeman. When she won gold she did an around Australia meet and greet. At the time I was working at Mt isa hospital Queensland. A lot of our patients were aboriginal and the day she was to come thru (and what we thought ), was to talk to "her" people was a farce. We wheeled so many aborigines down to the road side from the hospital in wheelchairs so they could see their idol. Do you know what she did? She cracked the window of the car down an inch ( black tint on windowns too) and sped down the road that hundreds of people were lining. She stuck her fingers out the window, and didn't even stop to say hello. She was there about 5 mins, didn't get out of the car before she was driven back to the airport and took off in a plane. The disappointed and hurt looks on the faces of men, woman and children aborigines broke my heart. I have never held respect for cathy ever since, she doesn't deserve it. "my people" she reckons....yeah right!!! 😒🙄

The sorts of things she grew up with, understanding her culture, her family are very traditional, she performed in ceremony as a child, but also understood the parts of culture that aren’t so humanitarian. Cross-Cultural Consultant for nearly 20 years to create understanding between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australia.

What about the other 97% who are in DIRE NEED of those public funds simply to help them get enough to eat each week? Or to save them from being FORCED to sleep on our STREETS - with small children and babies included? Just think of the homes the BILLIONS handed to these people for their OWN benefit ONLY, would have built - as well as, of course the added $368 BILLION Alborigine threw away on some idiotic nuclear submarine Australia has NO use for and which wouldn't make a dint in the armory of China or Russia! Again, how many homes would $368 BILLION have built? Alborigine should be made sell that sub back to whoever he bought it off, and repay ALL funds simply handed over to this one small minority sector of Australians - back into our public 'purse' - with full accountability for massive and irresponsible waste of public funds being served on him.

Yes colonisation was terrible! We all must hang our heads in shame for bringing housing, roads, education, indoor plumbing, health, welfare, technology etc to this country.

I'd get up and yell at the top of my lungs that I don't acknowledge that welcome to country and that I don't consider myself the least bit sorry for being here. They'd probably throw me out, but I wouldn't care, as long as I got people to think about what they're supposed to be sorry for. That whole not surrendering sovereignty is a new thing the activists have dreamed up to help their cause. What really gets my goat is these activists are demanding that their fabricated "real" Australian history be taught to our kids in schools!! There was no hundred-year war between blacks and whites, fought on multiple fronts across Australia. Yet in maybe as little as ten years time, our kids are gonna be believing it. There has to be a way to stop all this nonsense . . I was gonna say: before it gets out of hand, but it already has. I'm dreading the day when some upstart indigenous smart alec stops me in the street or wherever, and tries to tell me I'm walking on aboriginal land, or calls me an invader, a racist, all to try and provoke me. Well, that's exactly what's gonna happen!

[@goldenautumn3073]

I think it's made it so divided in our country now that even civil war could result. It is simply SO bizarre, SO WRONG, and SO against our Constitutional rights, it's mind-blowing.

oh there was a war from 1788 .....your last par wont happen so you can rest assured, theres no real threat to u m8 (PS: Cathy is hardly an Activist lol)

[@arthurblackhistoric]

@@martinpascoe7678 , , And I'm not suggesting that she is an activist. I'm saying that there simply was no war fought on multiple fronts that lasted for 100 years, promoted by the fictional "documentary" produced by SBS. This made-up version of history is gonna be taught in Australian schools if we don't nip it in the bud. 1788 . . . When the first fleet landed, there was no welcoming or repelling committee to meet them. How could the "war" begin with no protagonists? Are they calling the odd skirmish between aboriginal poachers stealing livestock, and the owners of those livestock, a part of "the war"? Because that's all it ever was. Let's talk reparations for a minute . . How dare people living today try to claim reparations from other people also living today, for things that happened from 235 years ago, not to mention the lack of proof of many of the so-called atrocities? No white people alive today have done anything bad to black people alive today. We owe them less that nothing! Here's my take . . When a country gets "invaded" . . And I'm using the indigenous perspective here . . the folks doing the "invading" either win or lose any war fought to repel such "invasion". Now, since there was no war, the need for reparations is baseless. It's a bit too late now, anyway, to even have the audacity to ask for monetary redress for things that happened so long ago. Anyway, Australia has only been "invaded" once. Look at Great Britain for example, the most invaded place on earth! They have their own internal struggle going on in Northern Ireland in which the catholic Irish have been trying to make the "British" leave "their land" for the past 400 years! And they wonder why everyone tells Irish jokes in which the Irish are portrayed as incredibly stupid? There's your answer! Back to our war analogy for a minute: The whole reparation thing is only 100 years old. The Allies who were victorious in WW1 demanded reparations from the ones who lost the war for all the damage they inflicted upon the allied nations during the war, and for indeed starting the war in the first place! Not the other way around, you fools! I'm sure that if the Australian people had any idea that Albanese was gonna approve, support, and actually lead the charge in this divisive attack upon his own country, that they would NOT have voted Labor! He hid his real intentions perfectly so as to fool us all. I doubt if even the party faithful would have supported what Albo was gonna do when he won office. I am a former Labor party member and lifelong Labor voter who joined the Labor movement to help Bob Hawke to become PM, such was my belief that he would be good for Australia. But Asian migration, the Mabo decision, aboriginal land rights, and other things that he introduced to white-ant this great country were not on the party platform in the lead-up to the election. Fast forward to the election that Shorten lost. I had to make a pre-poll vote because I was gonna be on tour on the weekend of the election. Of course I voted Labor, even though my gut was a bit squeamish about it. Sure enough, two days after I'd already cast my vote, Shorten launched his campaign, promising everything I'd been squeamish about . . making Australia a world leader in reducing climate change, strengthening the cooperation with the LGBTIQA+ lunatics, and other things Labor should not be standing for. I had to rub my eyes to make sure I wasn't watching a Greens broadcast. Labor learned from that mistake in revealing their intentions, and so Albo told us nothing about his. Likewise, I believe that the No vote would win in a landslide 97% to 3% if every white person in Australia fully understood the whole Uluru Statement from the heart, and fully realised the strength of conviction of the activists behind it, in enforcing everything listed in it . . with the full cooperation of the federal government committed to all of it. That's why Albo is lying his guts out every time he gets questions about it. He's prepared to nuke his own political career to see the voice implemented.

"Something's in the air" is right Cathy... and as much as we love our first Australians and are behind any fair and reasonable efforts to close the gap we won't go for segregation that divides Australians into two classes on the basis of race... We can get the same result by simply allowing all the vast recourses already committed to aboriginal to actually reach those who need it most.. And then there's the unnecessary duplication that would be created, given there are already so many systems of feedback for First Australian communities already in place and feeding back into government... And to make matters even worse,... there's the 'Yes' vote elites attempting to intimidate 'No' leaning voters by calling Jacinta coloured help (to white people) and also calling those who disagree with Voice racists,... This shows exactly and perfectly why Yes will fail spectacularly... Australians don't bow to intimidation and guilt being thrust upon a generation that had no say in what happened previously. Rather we already heavily fund attempts to redress the injustices that clearly exist..... We only wish the tax payer generated resources that are managed by First nation Elders/leaders would reach the ones intended more effectively.
