That settles it then, people - apparently there is no Aboriginal culture worth discussing... not a single soul has any idea what 'Aboriginal culture' was or is.

All that empty talk - for nothing....

It's your opportunity to share your great knowledge and understanding of Aboriginal culture.
Share, don't be shy.

N.B.  I have made no claim to be any expert on Aboriginal culture....... merely noted that a bloke I knew was an ace at yabbying and that sheila in that 'alternative to prison' thing in Alice Springs was cooking roo tails on a fire and they've managed some finger painting in the past ..... here is your chance to set my thinking in order... do you have the balls to try?

I’ve never claimed expertise, that's precisely why I supported the Voice, to give Indigenous communities a platform to advise on policies that affect them directly.

I’d be willing to share what insights I have from my short time in the NT, but, as the saying goes, once bitten, twice shy.

If you’re genuinely interested in an exchange of ideas, then by all means, lead the way.

I have no interest in a one-sided “discussion” like the so-called Reconciliation debate, where answers only lead to more demands without reciprocation.

Frankly, you’re not off to an inspiring start if you want to prove you’re serious. But, since this is your thread, I’ll give you—and those who share your approach—another chance, if you’re truly up for it.

I'll take The Voice over some of the outcomes you seem to desire for them which ultimately remove them from our society, either by segregation, incarceration, being hunted to death or ethnically cleansed.

But if you'll read what I said, I carefully and deliberately used the past tense "supported" for the idea of The Voice.  The issue of a constitutionally recognised Indigenous Voice to Parliament has been settled with the result of the referendum. 

There will be no constitutional change, the people have spoken and I accept the result, even if it's not the one I voted for.

I'm not the one trying to twist every Indigenous issue into a rebranded and redefined version of "the voice" to suit my agenda, that's you remember?

Quote:


So you're admitting the "reconciliation debate" wasn't about an exchange of ideas or anything resembling a good faith debate, you were trying, and failing, to set a trap?

If you bothered to read what I wrote, it wasn't as you described, but there is no point in going over it again as you're not interested in the issue, just trying to manufacture gotchas since your arguments keep falling flat.

Quote:


You can mark me down as, "You first", given that this is likely another of your failed attempts to set a trap rather than engage in a good-faith discussion.

And you wonder why people don't want to engage with you... 

You're just an angry ball of hate constantly trying to twist reality and use the accurate descriptions of your own stance, and your own behaviour against those who call you out.

For someone who fancies themselves a “truth teller,” it’s ironic that the only truths you reveal are inadvertent admissions of the manipulative games you play, games that stand in stark contrast to the person you claim to be.

But the racism, the slurs, the incessant disparagement of the very people you pretend to support all betray your true intent. It’s not about compassion or justice; it’s about pushing hatred and winning arguments, whatever the cost.

We all see you, your motivations, and your goals, you don’t need to spell it out, though it’s refreshing when you do. Of course, this won’t stop you from denying it.

You continue digging yourself deeper, showing no interest, let alone ability, in engaging in a good-faith discussion on this or any topic.

Be better, Crappler.

Thanks for again reinforcing that you cannot read or are unable to accept information in black and white that you don't like:

"clinging to"?

Sure, just rewrite what I has to mean the opposite.

Quote:


Firstly, you refused to exchange any ideas, just like this thread, you only demand others answer your questions, which you admitted to being a trap, so yo could use their answers against them.

I'm not inventing the notion out of nowhere that you're not able to engage in good faith or an exchange of ideas, it's simply evident by your actions and admissions.

You've not reciprocated with the reconciliation topic and just admitted that you were trying to set a trap and then attempted to spring the trap on me, and failed.

Now you're unwilling to share your ideas of Aboriginal Culture and demanding everyone else do so.  It's identical to the previous topic, which again, you admitted was nothing but a trap you were trying to set, not an exchange of ideas in good faith.

How is anyone meant to trust you, especially given you how simply lie about what people say in your posts too?

I know you hate being held to account for the things to say, but it's right there on the page, in your own words...

I don't know what to say, maybe don't be so stupid and racist in an open public forum?

You should be angry at yourself, not me.

Now, if you want to pretend you want a good-faith debate, you need to start by offering your take on the demands you're insisting of others.

Otherwise, stop crying you big dishonest baby.

Anyway - the rate or Removals continues to rise following Rudd's groveling ..... I think this needs a Royal Commission - perhaps part of the one into crime etc in the NT and such...

This whole arena needs to be fully publicly aired for once... workers and courts have to jump through hoops to remove kids these days - why is it on the increase in Nirvana?

Bonus Question:-  HTF would this fantasy voice have helped there?  I'll bet the occupants of this 'special house of parliament' would want Ministerial salaries etc.  Australia dodged a bullet there.... now to stop the Voice By Stealth....
