"and Captain Cook, alighting from his dory on the shores of Nova Australis Incognita, riddled with scurvy and dysentry as were most of his crew and wearing filthy rags of uniform, was struck dumb by the morning light shining on the golden temples of Ngaragundaland. Standing mouth agape, he noted, in the near distance, golden chariots driven by some unknown source coming towards his group, and as they drew near, he noted the magnificent bearing and physique of each of the riders in the chariots.. all clearly kings and clad in the finest raiment..... and all of them clearly over a hundred years old due to their amazing balanced diet and their civilised ways... he thought how well this golden civilisation compared with his own England, with its sickly people and massive child death rate....

He thought, "There's got to be a law against this! This is a place worth invading!"....

They come down from good old England,
In a battered collier ship,
The petrol sniffers sittin' round,
Just didn't give a sniff.
Surf cleared and a voice came,
"Aye, this place look all right!
I think I'll get King George
To declare him a Convict Site!"
Dead Falken Easy!

Hey there Mr Koori man, 'ow ya goin' bloke?
Nice country you got 'ere,
Ey, mate ya wanna smoke?
I'm yer brand new neighbour
We're gonna settle here,
We gotta lotta grog on board,
An' lotsa damned good beer.

I know that we ain't leavin',
An' you got nowhere ta go,
Don't have to be no reason,
But ye're gonna have ta go,
Cause we'll never get used,
To living next door to Abos...

(Abos? who the falk are Abos?)

You have a very poor understanding of our nation's history if you think that.

Why doesn't England celebrate the day they were invaded by the Romans and became civilized....Once you answer that you can understand why Aboriginal people do not want to celebrate the invasion of the British....Why would Aboriginal people celebrate having their land taken by foreigners???

Huh

They have their own week. NAIDOC Week. They have theirs and we have ours. That's a good compromise.

Not very inclusive is it....Why would anyone expect Aboriginal people to accept the arrival of British colonials as something to celebrate....Do you celebrate NAiDOC week Mr Hammer???

Huh

The British did not bring the land to build the road on either....What is your point???

It's the constant "us and them" that gets me. As though we're going to get anywhere at all with that kind of "thinking".

Generalisation, assumption, agenda-driven attempt to turn the tables....

No mountain yields to a climber with a one-ended rope...Confuzeyez.

No team made up of one side ever co-operates to reach a solution - Confuzeyez.

All you yay-sayers are achieving is alienation and radicalisation of those you choose to be some mythical 'opposition' against Aboriginals when all they are saying is that a demand to change Australia Day is nonsense and does nothing to help Koons.

Give in to a silly demand like this, and on and on it will go... endlessly.

Start saying NO.

God give the Kaffirs the strength to change what they need to, the ability to ignore what they cannot change and that which will make no difference to their situation, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Huh

I don't expect them to follow it. Nor do I suggest they follow the other suggestion (federation date). That's why they have their own week which I'm excluded from. It's just a historical fact which is controversial because it's the day when this landmass changed and now supports us. Surely that's worth celebrating. Aboriginal history hasn't done that for you, has it? Go sit on your lounge with a plate of prawns, a can of beer and ponder that.
