I always remember a media interview years ago with a Western Australian Aboriginal Tribal Elder and the Leader of his Community after the Land Rights ruling and just after the abolition of Pastoral Leases. This remote Aboriginal Community ran one of the largest and most successful Cattle Stations in Australia, it provided jobs and income to the entire Tribe, they were a successful and self-sustainable All Aboriginal Community. They had the best of both Worlds; they maintained and practiced their traditions and Cultural Heritage whilst successfully participating and conducting business professionally in Modern Western Society. This community was thriving the families had roofs over their heads, food in their bellies, a school that taught the national curriculum regular access to health care professionals. So. what went wrong? Well, the Land that they ran their Business on was their traditional land, however, Aboriginal Land could no longer hold a Pastoral Lease. So, they could no longer run their Cattle Station, it could only be used for traditional purposes and not commercial purposes. The ruling took away the Tribes ability to earn a living, but they could maintain a subsistence living through hunting and fishing or relocate to areas where they could get Jobs. Yep, a pretty disastrous outcome for this Aboriginal Community. So, back to the Media Interview with this Communities Leader. The leader only spoke a mixture of broken English and his tribal language, so he needed an interpreter. Throughout the interview the leader kept mentioning the Middle People and how they were to blame for all that had happened, when the interviewer asked what he meant by Middle People, who they were, was it the Lawyers the Bureaucrats, the Politicians? The interpreter responded no. it's the Mixed People, not Aboriginal not White but a mixture of Both or Mixed-Race Australians. Well, it would appear that those good intentioned well-meaning Middle People are at it again, although I suspect that there are some unscrupulous not so well-meaning Middle People amongst their Ranks.

[@matthewflinders1978]

@@ZELJKO472 That doesn’t sound too good. No one wants any of this stuff to escalate. People should start by admitting that people alive today are neither victims nor guilty for what happened over two hundred years ago. So there’s no need for any revenge or reparations. The problem now is the government seeking to separate Australians based on race. It’s the kind of thing bad regimes did last century.

Friends, here is good cut/past to share on Teela Reid of the Voice. Dont be complacement as the battle is not yet won. It depends on us: Sydney lawyer Teela Reid is Group Leader in designing the Uluru Statement, and member of the Voice Referendum Engagement Group advising the PM on building community support. The PM describes her as the next generation of "remarkable' Aboriginal leaders. Reid is on record as saying the Voice is the first step in "redistributing power" and has previously called for reparations to be paid to Aboriginals. She states "racism is synonymous with Australia" and that "Australia cannot handle the truth" and is "a nation without a soul". Indigenous Affairs Minister, Linda Burney claims the Voice "won't be giving advice on changing Australia Day", but Reid contradicts this, "It is truly disingenuous to be claiming mob won't be demanding to abolish Australia day. It started decades before the referendum, it'll still be a demand after it." And she states just changing the date is not enough, "It's always been Abolish Australia Day changing the date is a cop out." All the while, our PM claims the Voice is an “inspiring and unifying Australian moment” and a "modest request".

Then about 15 yrs ago I noticed Labor starting their transition to the loony woke left and I quit. Have never voted Labor again. Frankly they terrify me now. The Stalinist ideology is creeping in. Mao Zedong would be proud of them. The terrible slide into totalitarian control, the ending of free speech, the robbing Australians of their right to free thought. The shouting down of dissent we've seen it all before. It was called the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics . What next the gulags, the concentration camps? We had a glimpse of it during the pandemic, especially in Victoria where Dan Andrews, drunk on power turned the Victorian police into the Gestapo, the Storm Troopers were not far away when the worst of the pandemic ended.
