Grrr

FYI

I have lived in Darwin (Knuckey St) and was the then Chief Minister's (Everingham) first press secretary in 1977-78. I have worked all over Australia and have just put two Torres Strait Islanders on a plane to fly home to Darnely and Duaun this afternoon. Took them to the National Museum to show them the fantastic ATSI displays.

Been into Arneham Land; into PNG including by C310 Cairns to Daru.

I know about Raintree Park and invalid port. What I said I will say a different way - using examples of aboriginal alcohol abuse in jest is quite clearly racial vilification.

In my 40 years in the workforce I suspect that I have seen more of aboriginal Australia than a lot of Australians including in Cobar, Lightning Ridge, Godooga; Birdsville, Broken Hill, Nyngan, Broome, Karratha, Cairns, Townsville, Mackay, Rocky, Dingo, and a lot more.
