Aboriginals were never "nations" - they had no concept of such a thing. They were simply a disparate number of nomadic tribes who had little contact with each other except in times of drought and floods when they fought over scarce resources of food and water.

To call each of these small nomadic tribes a "nation," is the greatest misappropriation of any word in the English language ever known. And they stole that idea of "nations" from the North American Indians because they haven't the ability to even contemplate such a thing themselves.

This is just another example of sociologists and Abo activists trying to rewrite history and present themselves as civilised. Just another myth.

That anyone could possibly give any credence to this sort of crap is laughable.

Indeed.

What is an Aboriginal word for 'nation'? There isn't one.
They refer to themselves as the mob.
Mob: chiefly Australia : a flock, drove, or herd of animals

mob
Indigenous Australians might use ‘mob’ to refer to a group of Indigenous Australians associated with a particular place or country – their kin or family. This term isn’t generally appropriate for non-Indigenous Australians to use

Yep. I agree also. They were never a Nation, not even at tribal boundaries. A Mob is not a nation.

Primitive Tribalism - just like the Gazans et ilk - why will the IDF never eradicate Hamas? Because the attitudes entrenched will remain and even under a different name the same thing will happen again and again. They also want their payback - and it is 2025, people... not 625.

Someone else said that the IDF's only real answer was - genocide the lot as any hostile Arab nation/group would do if attacked, but Israel is civilised and still holds out hope for a decent government in Gaza despite the UN's idiotic stance and inability to do anything for real.

Same here - they just will not learn so are better with an isolated Homeland - a Two State Solution - far from those that they claim are afflicting them so badly. Let them sort it all out there.

As far as the Intifada here goes - it is getting worse and the number of Towns Like Alice are growing in number daily, and still the ordinary people have no rights to self-defence or defence of family or property. 'They' are at war with us - we are not at war with them ..... so they have all the advantages at the moment.
