The Misbehavers

I guess if they migrated only ... what? .... 8,000 years ago then they are not really Australian aborigines

there are the arguments for and against and always will be

the burn offs also have support research that says - they did promote fauna and flora and evidence that says bushfires are now as bad as they have been during the last 200 years because the environment is not as controlled as it used to be from both naturally occurring lighting fire and the mosaic of the smaller man lit controlled grassfires

yes, there are new growth forests etc but if you take an elder from the people who owned that land - they will show you the over growth and the weeds - they were the gardeners of this country

I think the person decides to be Aboriginal identified - I really don't believe that there's mobs of leftie PC's forcing anyone to be counted in nor expect them to play the victim - I do believe a lot of people choose to monopolise on that available option and I guess there are always people who will do things like that

The intention of positive discrimination was to treat people NOT by the colour of their skin but by the colour of their soul and where they fit best in terms of their social and material culture. Your comments highlight the plight of the by-products of assimilation - the whiter the skin the less black they are. Therefore, so much closer to racial purity itself?

Some of the pointers of the 'historical records' above I honestly have never heard of and naturally will research with an interested enthusiasm although, I would also find it hard to believe that white cultures never harmed a child or a woman thus, that cruel contrast further cements the belief that they were such an 'uncivilised mob'.

That sounds so much like Nazi propaganda, I personally don't give a "Rats" about the colour of a persons skin as long their Soul is "Gold" all is good :ok:

The problem is that many "Urban Aboriginals" with absolutely NO ties to their lands , have NO respect for tribal "Colours" ( yes RG I do know about this) and are simply "Cashing in" on every Mining venture simply for monetary gain

Must be a wonderful sight. I dread this time of year, having to drive Mt Cotton road each morning and see the large number of wallabies dead on the roadside. The council or RSPA make sure the carcasses are cleaned up daily as it wouldn't be a pretty sight by the end of each week. Sometimes you see a flag placed beside the odd animal, I'm thinking they're the ones that may have a joey in the pouch. Sorry about the gruesome details, but it does happen.

I love that picture. Love kangaroos close to home. Wish I had the same. All I have is a mass of sparrows and two pidgeons that I feed each day.

When I first moved into my place there was a small mob of 2 females and 3 young uns.
They seem to be doing alright my last count was 17 and I often see them on my lawn.
Something rather special having a cuppa on the back patio with a family of kangaroos less than 10 meters away blissfully ignoring my presence :good:
