I did, multiple times, even on this very page.  Why are you so scared of reality?

Quote:


I’ve answered your questions repeatedly, directly and without any of the deflections you seem so fond of. Meanwhile, you’ve consistently sidestepped and distracted, playing games instead of engaging in a real debate.

In the course of this, I asked some questions of my own, as any reasonable discussion demands. But predictably, you ignored them.

From the very start, I proposed setting some basic ground rules, but you outright refused, insisting I answer your questions while offering nothing in return. And like a fool, I went along, hoping against hope that you’d rise to the challenge and prove your whining about "abusive" accusations of bad faith wrong.

But, of course, you didn’t. You can’t. And you won’t. Because in truth, you are incapable of engaging in good faith at all.

You couldn't manage it even once, could you? It's become abundantly clear that engaging in any semblance of a good-faith discussion with you is utterly futile.

I've wasted far too much time maintaining a respectful tone, hoping, against all odds, that you'd rise to the occasion. But no, predictably, you cling to your one-sided demands, never once offering the reciprocity that is the bare minimum expectation in any civilised exchange.

Frankly, I don't know why I ever thought you were capable of more. You're nothing but a perpetually aggrieved, fragile excuse for a human, cowering from realities you lack the spine to confront.

Of course.

And it would also be for the aggrieved to determine the definition of, and what constitutes reconciliation.

Independent Senator Lidia Thorpe intended to hand King Charles “a notice of complicity in the Genocide of the First Peoples of this country”, using her first public statement since her interjection in the King’s speech to brand the Commonwealth a “colonial government”.

Senator Thorpe alleges her letter matched the document submitted by Indigenous activist Uncle Robbie Thorpe to the International Criminal Court which called for King Charles to “be charged and prosecuted for genocide”.

“The visit by the so-called King should be an occasion of truth-telling about the true history of this country,” the statement reads. “The colonial state has been built on the continuing genocide on First Peoples.”

“Today I was silenced and removed from the parliamentary reception when pointing out that the Crown stole from First Peoples.

“The truth is, this colony is built on stolen land, stolen wealth and stolen lives.

“The British Crown committed heinous crimes against the First Peoples of this country. These crimes include war crimes, crimes against humanity and failure to prevent genocide. There has been no justice for these crimes. The Crown must be held accountable.

“Today, the AFP threatened to arrest me for wearing a t-shirt that said ‘Stolen Land, Stolen Lives, Stolen Wealth’. I was at a rally to call out the crimes committed by the Crown. This is a clear attack on free speech and expression, at the war memorial of all places.

“Sovereign Elder Uncle Coco was arrested by AFP today for peacefully standing up against the Genocide on his people and all First Peoples of this continent.

“This colonial government will punish our Elders for protesting against a Genocide but refuse to hold the perpetrators to account.

“Today we call for justice, an end to this ongoing genocide, for Treaty and a republic. We want to be able to live in peace and finally come together as a nation.”

For what
Bringing education to them.
For bringing medical to them
For giving them housing, food, clothing For nothing.
For offering many things that they are too lazy to utilise.

Nope, nothing to say sorry for.
But lots to be thanked for.

It's actually scheduled as our "Truth telling and reparations".

Reconciliation has long taken a back seat.

Yeah nah ... but I do love the Pythons.

There was no stolen land as their culture had no concept of ownership.

There was definitely no stolen wealth because aside from ochre Aboriginals had no idea about mining natural resources.

The bastards couldn't lie straight in bed.

And Lydia Thorpe is the biggest of liars.
