I am knowledgeable enough to say that diabetes, kidney disease, injuries (including suicide and self-inflicted injuries), cardiovascular diseases including coronary heart disease (CHD), cancer, respiratory diseases, musculoskeletal conditions are conditions that a probably much more prevalent among indigenous Australians than non-indigenous Australians.

If you knew how police work, they are instructed to get aboriginal liaison officers to help them deal with potential criminal matters among indigenous people. Rockhampton has a sizable indigenous police recruitment to deal with the 7% of the town who identify as indigenous Australian.

I know the question is not asked to me, but I have no problem with having a mild affirmative action in place for issues like indigenous health and welfare issues. Other areas designed to "close the gap" socioeconomically, can be mainstreamed with what the rest of the country receives.

I have to say that this is important. I recall when I went through my schizophrenic episode 18 years ago, the mental health professionals (the psychiatrists and the social workers) told me that I needed to come to terms with my condition, and not use it as an excuse for all of my problems. Whilst people can be sympathetic to my condition, I have been high-functioning for the last 10 years. And I don't mention my schizophrenia, other than times when people bring up their own schizophrenia experiences to use for their excuses. I always like to chime in and qualify my empathy for them.

As for the dollar that they did not earn, I do not consider my Centrelink payments to be money that I did not earn. Admittedly, I figure that the government owes me for past problems -- Oops, was that the schizophrenia talking? 

However, back in the year 2020, when we started getting those Coronavirus supplements, I had a problem with having too much money and too much time on my hands. Instead of saving the money and getting a new car engine for my 2010 run-about small car, I managed to blow much of those extra payments on grog, fast food, and home entertainment. Hindsight might literally be 2020, but I did not think that fast back then.

"A dollar saved is a dollar earned" but "Such are the paths of all who go after ill-gotten gain; it takes away the life of those who get it." -- Proverbs 1:19 (NIV)

Continually uses racial slurs, promotes segregation, has called for their genocide before, supports shooting them on sight, calls the stolen generation BS and worries about the white gene pool being diluted.

Quack quack?

That would be wonderful.  Just how is that going to correct all the reprehensible ways Government and Society has mistreated them for generations, Eugene?  I wonder if that simply doesn't confine them to be second-class citizens simply because they have different coloured skin?  Tsk, tsk, tsk...

Ooooh - ain' goin' shape up OR ship out... I insult people who've insulted me, you no like?  Tough titties.  Tell them to stop insulting me and I won't give it back to them.

Post some views and start discussing like an adult - unlike those others.

How do you propose to go about actually solving Aboriginal problems?  More inequalities and more troubles built up by stupid decisions?

Stick with it, lad.

You went after me in the beginning, escalating to death threats, all without any provocation, simply because you couldn't counter what I had to say.

At the time, when I had assumed you, like Boris, were just being edge lords and didn't actually hold the beliefs that you posted about, you know, all the genocide stuff, so I tried to deal with you in a good faith debate.

I've come to learn that the respect and benefit of the doubt you were afforded at the time was unwarranted and undeserved.

You do in fact hold those beliefs and are a black-hearted, terrible, terrible person.

Now then - valid beliefs ... do you need small words?:-

Aborigines get special treatment outside the laws of the land over 'land claims', government connive with them over it.
Nobody else ever gets the same hearing and nobody else has any government department or agency working for them on those claims.... yet you call this equality.
'Sacred sites' etc are found where they never were before in virtually every claim.  Whale song lines....
Aborigines in the Northern territory kill women (and men) at a massively higher rate than any other demographic
Violence against and neglect of their children is at a higher rate than any other demographic
Law and order is out of control in many cities, much of it from Aboriginal youth who feel entitled™ to run amok
Nobody forces them to live in remote and jobless areas, thus creating their ongoing poverty and social security reliance
Many Aboriginal children do not go to schools and so have no chance of obtaining a job - same result.
The voice was an unnecessary imposition on the Australian people and on politics and had a huge agenda behind it - so it was wisely put down, thus preventing it from being a source of endless trouble.
Native title rights do not give ownership
There is no valid reason for any small group to require absolute free possession of any great swathe of land these days since they have no use for it, since they go hunting to the shops etc like everyone else.  They can still use Open Range land like everyone else and even enjoy some special rights on Crown land, so what is THEIR problem?
The concept that a group can come along and Governor Phillip style just lay claim is long outdated, and that means Aboriginal claims in the same style, as well as the Chinese or the Gazans if they arrive here and stake out the country (what IS wrong with you?  You lambast colonisation by the first fleet - yet pursue colonisation by nomad groups assiduously as if it is an absolute right in the 21st Century).

Tell me which of those is not a 'valid belief'...... don't be shy now... here's your chance, liar.  Tell us all why these are invalid... then tell us again after the next round of elections ...... this IS 2024, you know - not 1787 with small wandering groups hardly seeing one another and feeling that they therefore own the entire landscape they can see even if they can never use it and if anyone objects to their group's ownership they'll fight it out to genocide level ...... and don't use any of that land any more anyway.  It is Crown land and National Parks held in trust by governments for ALL - no government has the right to just give it away on that worn-out old imperialist basis - and shared usage is no problem for anyone but them.  Again - nobody is trying to force them off land owned by and for all.... THEY are the aggressors there, and without reason.  Will they suddenly revert to going walkabout and hunting game for their food, something that in drought required a larger area?

Don't be shy.... speak up... this is a once and only opportunity - after this I will revert to asking you to offer your solutions to Aboriginal problems, something you are terrified of doing since you know they will be shot to pieces.

I'll give you one day to respond to each and all of those valid beliefs with full reasoning on why - and none of your lip, champ.  YOU keep it civil and I will go back to being civil - you started it - I finish it.
