No we are having Australia Day on May 27 as a gift

What can we do for the abos to make them happy that Captain Cook discovered this Terra Nulla Nulla?

Cook wasn't even the first white person to discover Australia.

Dur.

Now, Raven - light won't answer the question, so I'll ask you.

What's light trying to say? What exactly does he think Canberra should do for the indigenous people that hasn't already been done?

It's not a trick question.

I will be dead before Canberra does anything,,, I will celebrate my alternate Australia Day. That would also give the indigenous people a chance to say thanks to the 90% or so Australians that are not racist

I think Terra Australis before 1788 WAS Terra Nullius.

There was no recognised or recognisable authority, government, anything to treaty with. Aborigines were so far back that there was no comparable institution to meet them at. They were wild, stone age humans unchanged in 60 thousand years, bypassed by all development in all those years.

They are very lucky to have been civilised by the British. Yes, civilised. It had to happen. It could have been the Belgians. Luckily for them, it was the British.

Criticism of those aborigines who are not willing to join the mainstream as functioning Australians who pay their taxes and contribute to the wellbeing of this country - is not racism.

Desmond Morris' 'The Naked Ape' comes to mind.

Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course.

It's just a little ungrateful that these current descendants of Australia's version of ground-dwelling hairless apes are now burning the flag of the very same people who rescued them from the oblivion that awaited them had any other nationality besides the English arrived here. Just a little churlish, one would think. Plucked them out of the dust, brushed them down, combed their hair, and groomed them in the ways of civilisation.

Quote:

Is it (more) money?

quite ironic ..

the invaders steal the land, then accomplices to the theft share in the booty,

like true pirates

then they squawk about "their money" that was made off the back of stolen land .

the land that was stolen , and all the money made from that theft

will be paid back in full to the originals

and so be it

namaste

Who owns land, light? Possession is merely nine-tenths of the law. I interpret that as meaning there is no true ownership of anything that was created by God, Allah, Vishnu, the big bang etc. These were all events prior to and outside the domain of man. Ownership is something that can only, ultimately, be demonstrated by force of arms. As the victors, white Australia owes nothing to a people who are as claimless to the land as we are.
