I'm saying whatever part of their culture they're trying to cling to. I don't particularly recall anyone citing a desire to back to hunter/gatherers but I could be wrong Understood. Unfortunately, there is a tendency to cling to culture They have to see for themselves what is and isn't any longer relevant. Otherwise it's just someone else putting restrictions on their culture Well, this is where "truth-telling" on both sides comes in. Should ancient custom, which is restrictive to others not part of what remains of that ancient culture, persevere for the sake of culture? I wonder if the offer of clean housing and a Job Guarantee (promoted by Pearson) would entice them away from the "sanctity" of Mt. Warning.... (probably not, throughout the ages men have preferred to die for religion than live for ....life). As a non aboriginal you can't tell them anything, truthful or otherwise. They have to experience it for themselves But as Aborigines, they can tell non-Aborigines what they should do for them. It's called the Voice, innit? Good one, Thick-as. The Voice isn't about telling non aborigines what to do you moron. Seriously, for someone who claims to be highly educated you're a complete and utter moron. What IS it about then, Thick-as? To 'advise' non-Aborigines on what to do about things affecting Aboriginals. I have never claimed anything, thick as mince in treacle set in concrete. That would be Tut-tutsie Bbbwian with the mail order doktorate. bugger me dead you're as dumb as dogshit. There is a HUGE difference between asking to be being heard and issuing orders. Seriously, get that refund, you're starting to make bobby look like a genius What will the Voice be able to say that 1100 other Aboriginal organisations and a dozen Aboriginal fedrral parliamentary representatives cannot currently articulate, Shite-fer-brains?
