Oh dear, tsk, tsk tsk bwian... caught out being disingenuous yet again. Cheesy

Where have I been "disingenious"? I assumed everybody knew when the Wave Hill Station walkout occurred. Are you suggesting that some people are ignorant of Australian history, Geoff? Tsk, tsk. I suppose from the numerous examples here made by the Racists you'd be right.

Are you missing the good old days, Geoff, when you could exploit Black Australians like the Vesteys did?

Studying Australian history, it is littered with examples of people like you, Geoff. You claim to have the best interests of Australians at heart but when one examines exactly what you're proposing your views are found to feature Racism, Xenophobia, Islamophobia, Sexism and of course just outright hatred of your fellow Australians and anybody who seeks to become an Australian at their core. Oh, dearie, dearie, me. Roll Eyes

You keep shifting the OP & the notions proposed by the likes of Pascoe & Abrahams further & further toward present day.

Being a twisty shyte seems to be your forte.

Brian are you afraid to even offer an opinion on the author's claim that burning grass to hunt roos is a type of farming? Why would you express support for something so stupid?

Why is it stupid FD?

Agnes ... using fire to flush out game making it easier to see them isn't farming.

It's a hunting technique.

That the grass reshoots green & attracts roos for a while until it's too high again ... isn't farming either.

Therein the suggestion that it is ...drawing a long bow ... in fact in this case - stupid.

why is it so stupid FD- the idigenous pp used fire to tame and control everything from bushfires to their food supplies-but the racism is so thick and stupid it is blinding most of you - if we used indigenous rangers to do the one thing they know best- how to control the environment without destroying it- billions of dollars might be saved every year- you all need to go educate yourselves on this topic- it has been writen in academic texts for at least the last 20 years that indigenous ppls used agricuture a long time ago- but they wont release anything ppositive to the eduction system to teach in schools because that woud not serve the 200 yr old narrative of the noble ( but very dumb) savage- cods gets it and you dont have to read far to find out a few facts- so why dont any of you go read- its there for even you to discover

End of story.

Yes fine sentiments.... & a unique culture they did have ....

Yet that doesn't need the addition of fanciful BS to paint a picture that is fictional.

Depends what you mean by inferior.
A VW Bug is a car but could be considered inferior to a Bugatti Veyron.
A Spear is a handy weapon, bow and arrow handier, Rifle even handier, some would rightly consider a Spear inferior to a Rifle.
Plowing a field with a stick and plowing a field with a plowshare pulled by a horse, which one do you consider inferior?
The list goes on and on... of course things are superior and inferior... only fools think they are not. Roll Eyes

I'm talking about in terms of human decency and dignity. We made a mistake by thinking that they were 'inherently' inferior.

This is what I'm talking about

"WE" really?
Another time and place for me Sunshine... I wasn't involved. I live in the now.
Unless you are a racist you don't look at people of different races as being inferior or superior. I be a non-racist.
Got nothing to do with decency or dignity.
What do you mean by "inherently inferior"? Are you racist? Roll Eyes

Trotting out the racism card doesn't cut it Agnes ... it's done to death.

The Aboriginals pre-colonial culture was so that they could exist in a harsh land.

How they did it was a credit to them but it wasn't agriculture ... no matter what picture so called feel good academics painted.

And if you go to many remote communities you will see just how well they look after their environment today. Roll Eyes
