Ahh - that's the life. Easy-going, laid-back. Don't need to pay off a home loan for all one's life just to get a root. Don't like the neighbours - just pack up easy and move on.

We all know the indigenous Britons lived like that - but with more animal furs, when the Romans first met them. Then the Anglos, Saxons and Jutes called them primitives to move them on. Primitive indigenous Britons living like Ainu in Nihon. Grin

Well, they've adapted quickly to the modern life. They now run roughshot over whiteys and steal a lot from Whities now. Their population is growing faster than Whities and they win Olympic Gold Medals, cash in on Politics and more.
Not so primitive now, are they.

Comparative poverty/prosperity, innit? Which is richer - he who can move on if he doesn't like the neighbours or his root, doesn't work and still gets everything, just picks up another house, boat and car from Whartey - or the social indoctrinated brain-washed wage slave who does everything right to end up with nothing after a lifetime of sh

i

t-kicking and being kicked around like sh

i

t while grifters and whingers and such get the fattest in the land for no toil?????

You need to bear in mind that the documentary did not include scenes of inter- or intra-tribal conflict, which occur within all societies. No scenes of dispensing harsh tribal justice. No scenes of abandoning sickly or malformed babies/children. No scenes of famine times, or periods of widespread tribal illness.

What was shown were very stark scenes depicting life within an aboriginal mob/clan in keeping with the theme of 'the noble savage'.

Is that before or after Whitey brought his diseases? Grin

You should go back & re-read some of your own posts.

The one about the Saan people should be enough for you to get the drift.

The Aboriginals weren't in isolation from disease ... they were dealing with people from the Moluccas long before whitey came. Ask them they'll tell you about the export/import company they ran. Grin

The Dutch East India Company was founded in 1602 and the Portugese were there in the East Indies Archipelago around the same time. 188 years before the First Fleet came to Botany Bay.

170 years before Cook explored the east coast & took possession of the continent for the British.

Dutchman Willem Janszoon was here in 1606.

And the French landed in Botany Bay on the the 26th January 1788 after the First Fleet had left and set up the colony in Port Jackson.

yeah ....another opinion piece in the Courier today by Mike O'Connor - excusing her calling the cop a bastard & doing a big breakdown on the various usage/connotations(term of endearment) of bastard by Australians and that it's no really big deal & the cop must be precious.

The reality they conveniently overlook is that it's not about calling him a bastard, it's about racially prefixing bastard with "white".

A huge double standard/hypocrisy by Kerr who is supposed to be a anti-racism campaigner.
Her mother is white and so is her girlfriend.

Never mind that she spewed in a cab and didn't want to pay for the clean up .... that's why the cops were called...

the incident would not have happened had she just paid up for her indiscretion ..... she can well afford it.

*SIGH* There are no DNA tests that prove or disprove if a person is Indigenous or not. DNA doesn't work like that. There are more differences between individuals than there are between "Racial" groups. "Racial" groups do not exist except in your imagination, Graps. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

Someone said we could not judge a person's Aboriginality on their skin colour. Why isn't that applied in the matter of Pascoe? Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

Yes. The Democraps and Biden would have been proud of that PR clip of everything rosy.

The documentary is a bit old for that!

In 1969, the Beatles were still a group with 'Get Back' on the charts, Nixon was still in office and popular, people were still basking in the afterglow of the 'Summer of Love', the Whitlam government hadn't happened and smoking was good for you!

Frank Herbert of Dune fame, thought Nixon was great for taking on the corrupt Establishment.
Sadly for Nixon, he wasn't as tenacious as Trump in doing so.

Reckon 90% of people watching the two recent Dune movies would think that Paul Atreides was the 'good guy', when in fact he's right up there with Pol Pot, Hitler, Mohommed, Idi Amin and the rest.

Trump might indeed be the 'good guy' afterall.

Looking back on Mungo Man – human remains millennia older than the pyramids – 50 years on - his discovery changed everything we knew about Indigenous Australians - for the better.

The Egyptians built the Pyramids around 5000 years ago.

The best the Aborigines could do in 40,000 years is a bark hut.

*SIGH* there is evidence that Indigenous Australians once lived in Stone Huts. The idea that they have been nomadic all their existence is old hat. The climate of Australia was once much wetter and supported Aquaculture and Agriculture. Please, acquaint yourself with modern Archeology, Baron. Your Racism is showing too clearly to be of much use. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

You should apologise for spreading misinformation.

They were nomadic hunter gatherers.
