As part of a systematic campaign? I don't think so. Different issue.

I'm glad we do. Someone has to provide balance to the redneck wonderland.

Warren Mundine a redneck? He was interviewed yesterday on this type of issue!

Ignore the marxist troll. When their ignorance and hypocrisy is exposed they resort to their usual 'defence' of name calling. You know the '...ist' or '..phobe'. Or just redneck because they are so much more intelligent. Even though they are nothing but brainwashed ignorant twits.

Couple of years ago had the pleasure of seeing Warren Mundine and Michael Kroger on the Bolt Channel 10 show, sat and watched 3 guys talk about issues as bigger picture stuff, was impressed.

Week later saw a labor rep (Bruce Archer??) who was incapable of getting beyond a "we are the light on the hill" mantra crap, embarrasing.

Expect I'd disagree at times but would love to hear more from Warren as at least he realises there are issues for the future to be dealt with and can talk with intelligence and breadth instead of just bitching and moaning about the past or spouting political mantra crap.

Just proves there are good people out there to listen to and consider what they say - the fact they ARE out there must drive certain ideologies nuts, a satisfying thought all on its own!

Cheers.

Galdian. So very true. They (the Marxist morons) hate people like Mundine. He goes against the 'evil white man' / evil west mantra. And of course if you actually take measures that actually confront and solve the issue, then those making a nice easy living out of government grants but achieving nothing but lining their own pockets (ATSIC anyone) would be out of a job.

And of course the fact that Mundine is aboriginal himself makes it even worse as he is seen as a traitor to the cause AND the fact that he is aboriginal means the lefty Marxist morons can't throw their 'racist' tag at him. Yes people like him must send the lefty Marxists into apoplectic fits.

In 1989 Ex-pat journalist Peter Sherwood of the Sunday Morning Post in Hong Kong wrote an outstanding book entitled "Voices from the Swamp" which was a compilation of columns he had contributed between 1987-1989. One of those was an article called "New Zealanders have a name for it". If ever any of you can obtain a copy I commend it to you.
The book may have been read by QANTAS as it "tongue in cheek" suggests much of what this insane directive from QANTAS encompasses. Manholes become "road orifices", sheep become "itwools" etc etc. Political Correctness gone mad, sad but true.

Probably because they have more experience with the realities of Aboriginal life than your average person living in the suburbs.

However no facts or argument to back it up.

Many here have been travelling to and from Aboriginal areas for years, (tens of decades) transporting Aboriginals (including on their grog runs), visiting these areas, working with including their wives often nursing, teaching , caring for, administrating welfare for both black and whites, one could give much as examples.

Essentially, until the aboriginal people arise from their pigmentally challenged, heavily challenged derrieres taking responsibility for themselves, their welfare, well being and that of their kids, little will ever change.

Because this is not the forum for it and I KNEW the old I used to fly aboriginals around would come up 😂😂😂

In short you cannot compare communities or language groups, you may as well compare the culture of someone from America to North Korea, they are completely different and these blanket comments “I know aboriginals” are ALWAYS made from the ill informed

The ignorance with an abysmal lack of substance of the reply is essentially astoundingly uneducated.

It is highly doubtful any discussion with anyone who has flown aboriginals around had ever taken place as had such discussions taken place, there would be at least some understanding, knowledge of the problems displayed or taking place daily.

It was not a matter of `I knew aboriginals' it is from, by Nurses, doctors, teachers, social workers, pilots, builders, bureaucrats, and many many others who have striven hard and long to assist these people (and white people) for decades.

The largest result has been minimal progress with the spending of tens of billions of our hard earned dollars for very little return or significant improvement in their lives.

Jacinta Price, Warring Mundine are at least two aboriginals leaders recognising the problem attempting to get prop[er discussion and solutions underway.

Contributing to this discussion will be far more effective based upon facts, figures and solution than some abstract far left techniques and claptrap purely designed to distract from solutions continuing to work to break down traditions and law.

Hi red_dirt,

I would have thought the pilot community to be over represented in this area and augurs well to comment.

I think my 6 years in the Kimberley places me in a good position. I think there are a heap of others sitting quietly on the sidelines and for good reasons.

Kind regards, hoss

If by the time you are in your 20’s and haven’t toyed with Marxist Socialism you haven’t got a heart.
By the time you’ve established a career , raised a family , payed taxes ,etc if you believe in Marxist Socialism , you haven’t got a brain!

Is that a quote or did you just make it up?
It is so accurate it’s not funny.

Framer; I'm somewhat unsure, but I am led to believe that it was Winston Churchill who actually made a comment along those lines re Socialism.

I suspect that others on this site will have more accurate knowledge.
