Re: The Indigenous Australians

You can have any opinion you like, but you don't live here and you don't work here and you don't have nearly enough experiences with Aussie Indigenous people apart from what you read in one of your daily papers.
Yet you think you are entitled to throw a wobbly.
Asking Azz to ban you? What a silly thing to say.

Re: The Indigenous Australians

So unless we have experience with things we cannot comment lets see how the forum folds with that rule in place.

And blaming us for your problems is pretty silly when it's your forefathers caused this one not anyone here.

I never said you can't comment but we reserve the right to reply to any comments. It's only fair.

The answer to that is a resounding yes, I'm afraid...

Re: The Indigenous Australians

When you arrive in New Zealand you are greeted at the airport by members of the Maori, when I arrived in Australia there were greeters, white Australians, very nice but not one of the original Australians to be seen

Re: The Indigenous Australians

Saw an update documentary from John Pilger last year - nothing has changed towards them - truly disgusting to treat the native people this way
and I saw little concern or respect from the Aussies

That's sad, if not totally unexpected. I remember being stunned a few years back when I was talking with a group of people who were running clinics supposedly aimed at improving healthcare of the Aboriginals in Broken Hill. Despite their stated work intentions several of them spoke in an incredibly derogatory and dismissive manner about them.
