What about the rest, about school, work, not being criminals, domestic abusers, child abusers?

Just holding the hand out for 'rent' is not fitting in.

Dozens of pastoral stations were purchased in Western Australia to provide Aboriginal communities with their “traditional” land. Native Title was subsequently granted over some 90 per cent of the Kimberley region, including Noonkanbah in 2007. Yet, today, across the entire region, the blight of alcohol and drugs and the related domestic abuse among many of these communities is beyond crisis levels, from Broome to Fitzroy Crossing to Kalumburu. Noonkanbah itself was, until a few years ago, plagued by alcohol and drug addiction and related violence.[xliii] In many remote communities, high levels of unemployment and the seeming uselessness of future dreams lead inevitably to chronic drunkenness and drug addiction, juvenile crime and high suicide rates. It is sadly all too clear that many people—not all, but many—in those communities have not found the return to the land ennobling in any way, finding instead that they are without jobs, dependent on welfare, devoid of any sustaining sense of self-worth and without any hope of a better future.


So you return the natives to their traditional, sacred, spiritual lands and what happens? Do they regain their strong, proud Aboriginal culture and live in lotus-eating harmony with Nature and each other, as before 1788?
No, of course not. They sink ever deeper into an alcoholic stupor and self-degradation.

But they got the 'rent'.

John left school when he was 15 to paint houses.
In my day they called such students dunces.
He then blabs all his nonsense on forums as though he's a university intellectual.

Yes they are ... big time you dopey twat.

That's what the whole issue is about.

Their whining/crying as perpetual victims.

Met one today... I asked here if she had Scandinavian ancestry in discussion... she said - "No - Indigenous and English"... I nearly said:- "Which foot is Indigenous - left or right??"

Classical Modern Aboriginal - blue eyes, European features, blonde hair, no makeup needed to be a ghost at Halloween ........ tits don't sag to the waist... arse not too big for her age.... no brain trauma.... you know.... bit of the attitude though...

It's like New Labor or the once New Australians - now we have New Aboriginals.... 95% European and maybe 5% Aboriginal... we're all Indigenous when we're born here, so she used the wrong word even... some people these days.... just can't keep up with the times.... and Aboriginality has become the badge of the young rebel without a cause these days.... their cause celebre`.

Oh, well - the landslide/tsunami against the voice will solve that for them....  I still predict 80% NO - within bounds, of course...

Bring On the Vote!!!  Can't wait!!
