Christ Mark Latham is a borf.

No surprises his aggressive, one-eyed, belligerent and underinformed position is endorsed on here.

Laughing stock everywhere else ... but a total hit on Ozpol.

Do you tire of asking this question despite is being reductive?

Strike that. It was rhetorical.

Your question is reductive and dishonest.

Why are you afraid to answer as to why thatis?

Why are you afraid to give a straight answer, FD?

Perhaps you're not even aware that your question is reductive?

Are you?

Should we start from there?

Cowardly, spineless, stupid nonsense, Mothra Theresa. 



"NPWS has consulted with the Aboriginal community about cultural matters and management of the park through the Wollumbin Consultative Group since November 2000.
"In November 2018, the group restated a long-held Aboriginal community aspiration for a strategic long-term program to close public access to Wollumbin."

The plan indicates this new signage will be placed at the base of the track:

‘You enter this Mountain breaking the traditional law and customs of the Bundjalung people and the sacred and significant Mountain, under the Bundjalung traditional laws and customs given to the 14 Bundjalung tribes by men. The past Elders of all the tribes agreed to shut this Mountain, and you walk this track without the consent of the Bundjalung people. As spoken by the Traditional Owners as to uphold our traditional laws and customs with the wishes of past Elders.’

Appendix B Baseline site condition report – Restricted to men.

Appendix F Plates from Baseline site condition report – Restricted to men.



Aborigines want to close it to the public. The NSW government is planning to accede.  Access will be restricted to Aboriginal men.  So access will be on the base  of race and sex.

Nothing else.

One man with the balls to challenge this BS out of the hundreds of other politicians and he speaks i am sure for 98% of Australians, this is my country. Looking forward to the response from Mark's valid objections, where does this BS stop.
