This has nothing to do with “dispossession” and everything to do with no responsibility for own children or own actions or having to work to earn the money which is spent on alcohol etc.
I do not feel any guilt for what is happening there, I worked hard for everything I have and for providing for my children. I blame the aboriginal aristocrats who need this suffering to stay in the aboriginal industry which is delivering very well for them.
If the Burneys and Langtons wanted to fix it they could in a matter of months but then they would also need to get an honest job that doesn’t involve demonising the rest of the hardworking population.

PENFOLDS GUIDE TO FOOD PAIRING
Pairing food and wine is a skill many refine over trial and error. Personal preference is ultimately the best path to choose, however here are a few guiding principles that can make the process easier.
Match Intensity:
Bold wine for bold food, and more delicate wine for delicate food. Think Bin 28 Shiraz to your wagyu steak, or Champagne Thiénot X Penfolds to your cured kingfish.
Balance the Heat:
Spicy dishes can elevate the tannin profile, so when sitting down to a Thai curry, opt for a lighter red such as Bin 23 Pinot Noir or the fresh and balanced Bin 51 Riesling.
Sweet with sweet:
Sweet food makes wine taste less sweet. For dessert, select a wine with a higher level of sweetness; such as Penfolds Grandfather with your plum pudding.

Bookmakers peg Hunter Biden as favorite in White House cocaine whodunit
Oddsmakers have identified Hunter Biden as the favorite in the White House cocaine mystery, but Travis Kelce and the Jonas Brothers aren’t out of the running.
SportsBetting.ag released odds showing the president’s son leading the list at +170, meaning that a $100 bet would net you $170 if Hunter Biden is found to be the owner of the cocaine found last weekend in the West Wing by the Secret Service.
Next on the betting line at +800 was NFL tight end Travis Kelce, who visited the White House last month with the Super Bowl-winning Kansas City Chiefs, followed by “One of the Jonas Brothers” at +1000. The singing Jonas trio visited the White House in December 2021.
It gets sillier from there. Other celebrities with odds include Angelina Jolie, Snoop Dogg, Elton John, Matthew McConaughey and Tom Brady.
Last on the list is President Biden himself at +15,000. The odds on first lady Jill Biden being the stash owner are slightly better at +10,000.
“Naturally, Vegas is taking bets on who brought blow into President Biden‘s home,” said SportsBetting.ag in a press release. “Was it the president looking for a little extra go juice ahead of the busy holiday?

How many would subscribe to that idea I wonder?
How many would take up the offer of not working, ever, and receiving an income?
Don’t answer that, we have plenty of takers now.
The only benefit to society I can see is that they are consumers of goods and services therefor giving jobs for the workers.
Who is going to pay for it all.
Not a goal I would set for our future.
Actually, that is from the St Ruth book of Advanced Bus-driving Techniques.
Flyingduk, that has always been the case though not as noticeable. The recent catastrophic losses were directly due to our governments believing people like Flannery and allowing building in flood zones.
We’re back.

‘No’ supporter Senator Price blows whistle on $100m-a-day Indigenous industry
AUSTRALIA’S outspoken conservative, Aboriginal senator Jacinta Nampijinpa-Price, has blown the whistle on the scandalous amounts of money being spent on Aboriginal welfare while other politicians claim the proposed “Voice” bureaucracy will fix the problems.
Senator Price says Australian taxpayers spend at least $100 million a day on direct support for Indigenous Australians every year or $39.5 billion of direct government expenditure every single year. The figures are based on the 2017 Indigenous Expenditure Report produced by the Productivity Commission.
Despite these millions dished out daily the Senator is having to raise half a million dollars for a media campaign against the yes vote for the Voice.

So this is the fall-back and re-group position.
The Universal Income for All movement has largely failed, so this is the re-launch.
“Oh, it’s only for the critically disabled, non-functioning, non-verbal people.”
Until, like the NDIS, it isn’t.
Interesting that they still use the word “universal” when it would ostensibly only apply to a restricted cohort in society.
“Universal” in this context really means “not means tested and with no objective criteria”.
Aboriginal children want to join the world just like all children but they are held back by the aboriginal industry which is telling them non-stop that the rest of Australia hates them. This is evil of industrial proportions.
“Education workshop” regarding the new Aboriginal heritage Act, in the Wheatbelt last week. A “straw poll” outside the building revealed most left more confused then when they arrived.
“We haven’t got, like you’ve got, a nice office tower full of secretarial staff and clerks to look after you, and and nurse you through things and brief you before you go and do any damn thing you want to do.”
“We can’t go and trawl through the act for hours on end and figure out whether we can, or whether we can’t in situations where we’re reacting with the weather.”
“The impost you’ve put on agriculture, mate, I hope you’re not proud of this, when you go home in your car.”
Well said, that man!
Tim Blair thunders:
Yeah, Tim, all those Asians denied the best education money can buy from Universities funded, founded and built by White people.
What a tragedy, eh?
I believe we’re really making headway in opposition to Bowen’s “rewiring the nation” shit show.
National media are starting to book time with key members of our group to discuss the renewables push.
We’re giving the green investors a big headache. The clear path promised by the government is now blockaded by angry stubborn farmers.
Watch this space.
Buried in this load of tosh (the long history of dispossession that haunts remote communities – FFS, tell that to the Scots or millions of Europeans) is a practical suggestion – building a hostel or whatever where kids can be safe and warm.
Why hasn’t it been implemented?
I searched back and found that:
(i) As usual, there were arguments about who would fund it;
(ii) There were all sorts of legal issues, like who would be responsible if one of the kids assaulted another, or went there to escape after committing a crime; and
(iii) It was just another way to separate Aboriginal kids from their families, prelude to another ‘Stolen Generation’ – yes, really.
Easy to see why anything to do with Aboriginal politics is a effing minefield.
How many would take up the offer of not working, ever, and receiving an income?
Isn’t this why gummint wholeheartedly supports mass migration from the 3rd world?
some weird idea that it’s not how you get the money but the fact you spend it and keep the economic wheels turning …
As I remember it, it was the exact opposite. Our “betters” were going to appoint el Presidente.
Key phrase to weave into every press contact … “food bowl”.
I thought the same too Diogenes but the ALP and ARM would not put forward direct election as an alternative, even though I reckon the mass of nominal, minimalist republicans would hold their noses and vote for direct election, there are examples of it being fine in Ireland and France (Parliamentary government & semi-Presidential government).
Sooooo .. we is getting a bit of a fight back .. at last!

To be honest I can’t remember now, I voted no because saw no need for change.
For me to consider change of GG, president should start with the power he or she would yield and then take it from there, as to how they would be appointed or elected.
If ceremonial only, who cares?
If real power including dismissal of government, beware who is supporting the option.
Dare I or dare I not publish the Linda Burney column?
I suspect the answer is her looks.
Young, rather attractive women attract enthusiasm of others, and enhance the prestige of a workplace or team. Its not necessary to be male to find attractive people attractive.
Couldn’t be bothered because it isn’t on the Hun website by the look. I might try later to read the dead tree version and record.
Brittany has certainly gone up a couple of divisions. Clearly she has decided her 15 minutes of fame should be up by now.

. In 1999, many Australians supported having an Australian as head of state, but few supported politicising the new presidency by by making him/her the winner of a popular vote.
As I remember it, it was the exact opposite. Our “betters” were going to appoint el Presidente.
It was pretty clear that any “politicising” was going to be via the appointment process, which was to be controlled by politicians, with no route for civil participation.

Scarily, the academic doesn’t know the answer!!!

The thing I don’t understand is why Reynolds hired her in the first place, and then kept her on when it became clear that she was a drama waiting to happen.
Allow me to bring you up to speed.
A certain Senior Adviser nto Reynolds, a Mr Bruce Lehrmann, approached a female staffer of Reynolds and asked her if she would hire Higgins for him, since “she’s very good looking”.
Higgins woulda been a good hire as Press Officer for Reynolds in any case, since she’s spent 2 years in the department doing that job for the previous Minister, who was retiring from Parliament, but thought enough of Higgins to keep her on, though he dispensed with 80% of his Ministerial Staff.
Terrible idea.
It’s an invasion of privacy, does the No campaign need to cold call people to find out what’s wrong with the Voice?
….as opposed to the two moron twins that knocked on my door on Sunday while still in my pajamas representing the yes side of the Invoice case?
A dispiriting thought: the US has a sound Supreme Court, while we have Mark Dreyfus stacking our High Court.
Rubbish.
#1. The decision doesn’t even end Mandatory AA, the Ivies can still adnit whoever they like.

Huh?
It’s still an Invasion Of Privacy, since they’re seeking information and a person’s Phone# is easily identifiable.
They’d be better off getting the vote out, and reminding people that it’s a chance to tell the Governments what it thinks of their Covid Policy too.

It’s probably the Confederate States battle flag, flying in front of my house, that deters them.
Yes it would be interesting to find out how ‘advisors’ are appointed. Experience in the school of hard knocks is not valued that’s for sure.
Because it’s an entry level position.
Usually, a Degree is required, Higgins had that, but sometimes it’s Secret Squirrel, which is how Bruce Lehrmann got appointed straight outta High School.
I hope Reynolds dons the hobnailed boots and goes for the world kicking in the carnt record (h/t Derek & Clive).
The Commonwealth won’t be funding it, so any Solicitor taking it on will be asking fir the Deed to Reynolds house before they start work.
Basically, Reynolds was looking at the Christopher Pyne outcome [Defence Minister, get a sweet job with a major Defence Contracor the day after retiring]
but her inept handling of the Higgins Affair put an end to that ouitcome.
She’s still blaming Higgins, but the real blame is much closer to home.

Right wing nut jobs.
You know Ed, there was a growing number of Aussies sick of religious peoples knocking on their doors in WA in 90’s so they started looking at the “invasion of privacy” line you’re proffering.
In an interesting turn of events, the WA govt (and the Feds later) threw it out and cold calling you or knocking on your door is NOT an invasion of privacy.
You see, it seems the pollies do more door knocking and cold calling than the religious!
Today I lunched with a couple of Middle Eastern heritage who are voting YES to the inVoice while I said that I was voting NO to having racism put back in the Constitution after it’d been taken out in 1967. I was told that I was the first person they’d spoken to who was voting NO — this is the heartland of the electorate of Watson. Go figure.
The 1967 referendum gave the Commonwealth power to legislate for “the Aboriginal race” and to include them in the federal census. Previously such laws and head counting had been the preserve of the states. In some ways, the special powers granted the Commonwealth in ’67 set us on the path to where we are now, not least because they saw the establishmen of Aboriginal affairs as a Commonwealth department. As a general rule, expoanding the powers of a central government beyond what is absolutely necessary is never a good idea.

This was highlighted by Geoffrey Blainey in his article in last weekend’s Weekend Australian newspaper along with a good many other things that most people would not have previously realised.
I’ve been gravely assured by one “activist” here in the Wild West, that Aborigines in the 1960’s, weren’t allowed to send their children to school.
I have a serious question but will be denounced as a racist…
Many Indigenous peoples had kinship marriages agreements all the way up to the 1960’s. If we’re going back to their traditions, and they are so hell bent on these, why are most of the famous Indigens I know married to white folk?

ZKTA: There was an ABC show last year that looked at early colonial landscapes, their painters and what they meant in the context of society then and now. One pic was of a Western District mountain, at which point the toffee-tongued ABC Arts gal turned to an indigene for enlightenment.
This joker proceeded to recount how his people had all been wiped by the nuns and priests at the local mission, who invited them a special breakfast and killed the lot with poison porridge.
Absolute BS, but not to the ABC Arts gal, who nodded and tut-tuttered at all the right places.
When this Voice BS has run it’s course, anyone think amity between black and white will have been improved? Nope, if No gets up, the payback activism will be intense. If yes gets up, we’ll put up with it, albeit with clenched teeth, as we always do.
If we’re going back to their traditions, and they are so hell bent on these, why are most of the famous Indigens I know married to white folk?

Yirrara is a boarding school, in Alice where kids are supposed to be safe and warm. There may be day scrags who also attend, not sure, but it was dysfunctional right from the start, with teenage pregnancies the norm.
I put this idea to the NT government too, that kids have accommodation and care from Sunday night to Sat morning when they can go home if they wish. The rest of the time they have food, shelter, education, and be kids. That the kids be educated with the Khan academy and the teachers just help with the homework.
Against that is that communities are generally no place for any kind of future, with gambling drinking and sex the norm. So it follows, why do it in the communities, just renforcing the cycle of despair.’
And doing it in town aka Yirrara, has not been a smashing success.
I don’t believe community is any good, or has any future as anywhere but a place to visit occasionally, I used to say move them all to town where there are schools, healthcare, and a possibility of a future, but I no longer wish that upon the towns with the violence and unrest there now. The son of a friend was stabbed coming out of Maccas in Darwin, at midday, missed the big one in his neck by 2 mm. Gave a good account of himself even so, broke a leg on one assailant (there were three or four and robbery was the motive) and laid a couple more out, not reported by the police to the general public of course.
So what, where how? I am lost for answers other than what we are doing is not working, and doing more of it wont work either.
A start would be and in no particular order
1. grog ban – complete.
2. consequences for actions – real punishment as a deterrent
3. more police on the beat, not catching mums on the school run, like in Katherine the other day, but actually catching criminals
4. once incarcerated, quickly identify those who have some hope and divert them to other programs – Sentenced to a Job was a great initiative of John Elfrinks against recidivism, and it was working.
5. Hostels for kids on the street.
Another work lunch ?
If I were a betting man I’d wager some have fairly hardcore political motivations. The Communist Party has long been active in indigenous affairs, going back to Wave Hill and prior.

That’s correct, the stumbling block for most people was Malcolm Turnbull advocating for people like him to choose the president so the majority of us said no can do. It was the last time Pat O’Shane was on the right side of anything.

WSJ – The West Again Learns That War Needs Industry
Biden and NATO leaders, fearing a war of attrition with Russia or China, will focus on rebuilding militaries and their supplies at coming summit
Behind the deadly front lines where Ukrainian and Russian soldiers are locked in combat, a less-noticed life-or-death battle is raging to keep troops supplied with arms and ammunition. The side that loses that fight is the one that will lose the war. It is a lesson Washington is relearning.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has exposed huge shortfalls in Western defense-industry capacity and organization. The U.S. and its allies aren’t prepared to fight a protracted war in the Pacific, and would struggle with a long European conflict.
As Adm. Rob Bauer, a top military officer at the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, puts it: “Every war, after about five or six days, becomes about logistics.”
If the U.S. clashed head-on with Russia or China, stocks of precision weaponry could be used up in hours or days. Other vital supplies would run out soon after.
Many governments are starting to respond. The U.S. is increasing arms production after decades of focus on terrorism and homeland security. French President Emmanuel Macron has pledged a “war economy” to boost military supplies. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has shed Berlin’s longstanding disdain for military spending.
It is a pivot with echoes of the last century, when the U.S. repeatedly swung its economy to fight wars and face down enemies. Woodrow Wilson nationalized America’s railroads in 1917, and in 1942 Detroit lurched from making cars to churning out tanks and bombers. The Cold War spawned the military-industrial complex.
Nobody’s ready to test those extremes today. To handle newly aggressive adversaries without commandeering industries or exploding national budgets, Washington and its allies will need to try fresh approaches to developing, buying and maintaining military supplies.
“The defense-industrial base that served us after World War II and helped us prevail in the Cold War isn’t the one that is going to help us prevail against China,” says Joseph Votel, a retired four-star Army general who led Special Operations Command and now heads Business Executives for National Security, a nonprofit started in 1982 to bring private-sector know-how to the Pentagon.
The first step will be spending more on defense across the West. In 2014, after Russia seized Crimea from Ukraine and fomented rebellion in the country’s east, NATO members pledged to spend at least 2% of their gross domestic product on defense by 2024.
Only the U.S. and a handful of other members do that so far, though war in Ukraine may finally have broken the logjam. Around half of NATO’s 31 members could hit 2% next year, alliance diplomats say.
Ambitions are increasing, too. When NATO leaders meet in Lithuania next week for their annual summit, they expect to cement 2% of GDP as the spending minimum, not an aspiration. Over the past year, NATO and the European Union have also assumed new roles coordinating and consolidating arms procurement to boost efficiency and accelerate rearmament.
But more is needed, say Votel and his colleagues, starting with a new postindustrial mind-set.
Many see a model in how Ukraine is drawing expertise from across society to develop defensive systems that bridge advanced digital savvy and grease-covered Soviet hardware.
First, say advocates of a new approach, the Pentagon should acknowledge it no longer owns the cutting edge of technology—even though it once launched transformative innovations, such as the internet and GPS.
“Our nation leads in many emerging technologies relevant to defense and security—from artificial intelligence and directed energy to quantum information technology and beyond,” a panel of former top Defense Department officials said in a recent report for the Atlantic Council, a Washington think tank. “But the DoD struggles to identify, adopt, integrate and field these technologies into military applications.”
The commission, led by former Defense Secretary Mark Esper, offered 10 recommendations that ranged from encouraging tech companies to do business with the Pentagon to modernizing its budgeting documents.
Others say that rather than conceiving multidecade moonshots, as in the Cold War, the Pentagon should learn to quickly draw on existing innovations, as smaller allies have done, and Ukraine is doing.
“The Defense Department set itself up to export technology,” says James “Hondo” Geurts, a former assistant secretary of the Navy and Air Force officer with extensive acquisitions experience. “Now it needs to become a smart importer of technology.”
On the Florida panhandle, a gaggle of military brainstorming centers are working to test what is possible outside a war zone. Defensewerx, a nonprofit organization closely tied to the Pentagon, links the defense establishment with small businesses and academia, working to bring innovation and a disrupter mentality to arms development and contracting.
A challenge, say skeptics, is that projects launched in a military “Monster Garage” often founder at industrial scale.
Defense planners must also get more entrepreneurial, say advocates of change—and some are already. NATO’s Bauer recently flew to the Pacific coast in Los Angeles, not for naval maneuvers but to address a finance-oriented conference.
“We need private investors to support the defense industry,” the Dutch officer told the Milken Institute’s global gathering in May.
Defense is massively expensive, and not just Top Gun equipment such as F-35 jet fighters costing around $100 million apiece.
The Navy has estimated that a 20-year modernization of four major shipyards, which maintain aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines and average a century old, will cost $21 billion—and a senior Government Accountability Office official last year called those estimates “wildly off point.”
The protracted refurbishment limits repair capacity, leaving warships at pier awaiting work and reducing America’s active fleet available for threat response. Multibillion-dollar assets idly aging in saltwater cost taxpayers, warn critics.
Rather than drag out shipyard renovations over two decades, says Sam Cole, a finance-sector professional who serves on the BENS board under Votel, it would make more sense to get the work done quickly so the yards are fully functional sooner.
The Pentagon could struggle to fund all that, given government budgeting rules, Cole acknowledged. Instead, it could take a more private-sector approach to financing by turning to debt markets, raising around $50 billion and completing the work in about four years.
“Being able to tap capital markets would enable you to put the project on steroids,” says Cole.
Funding defense outside the Pentagon’s budget would break tradition, but advocates note that other parts of the government already do it. The Commerce and Agriculture departments are leveraging capital markets to finance investments in necessities from microchips to fertilizer.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin last December took a step in that direction, launching the Office of Strategic Capital, an in-house tech incubator empowered to partner with private financiers. The Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or Darpa, has gained legendary status for its role helping fund Silicon Valley’s rise, but its financial firepower is limited.
The OSC is unusual for the Pentagon because it can employ loans, guarantees and other financial tools not typically used by the U.S. military, which relies mainly on contracts and grants. It aims to help startups grow and work with the Pentagon, and to nurture new technologies that may support defense. At its launch, officials noted that while the Defense Department has rich programs to foster innovation, Pentagon contracting and legal rules pose daunting hurdles for startups.
In rebuilding military industries, small business also needs attention. Defense giants once tapped supply chains that extended to thousands of workshops supplying basic components. Industry consolidation, globalization and shrinking demand after the Cold War eroded that base. Today, subcontractors are as likely to be independent software developers as metal-bashers, but they face similar headaches with business fundamentals such as financing research and development.
Defense giants handling massive arms projects generally work on a cost basis, meaning they can usually hand the Pentagon a bill for their R&D spending, says Frank Finelli, another finance professional on the BENS board.
But almost all midsize companies in the defense industry are subcontractors, so are unable to pass along development costs.
“You’re asking me to invest my own money in R&D” for the Pentagon, Finelli says he hears from smaller companies. The U.S., the world’s financial-markets leader, should be able to find a solution, he says. “This is about having access to financial agility at scale.”
Agility is increasingly vital in manufacturing, too. The F-35, America’s newest jet fighter, is a marvel of networked computers that can hover and fly supersonic.
But much of it is still built by hand in a Texas factory where each plane steps along an assembly line from one production station to the next, notes Stacie Pettyjohn, director of the defense program at the Center for a New American Security.
The Pentagon’s next generation of equipment will need to rely on commercial industries’ advances in production technologies, from 3-D printing to factory automation, says Pettyjohn. “New manufacturing systems for new defense systems will be critical.”
Equally ripe for an overhaul is how the Pentagon turns ideas into equipment.
The military needs eye-popping quantities of some items, such as artillery shells and rifles, but a lot of equipment is needed in versions customized for specific tasks, which can vary widely across services and in elite units such as special forces.
How to combine mass production and variety has long plagued defense planners. The F-35 was envisioned 30 years ago as a single low-cost plane with different options for the Air Force, Navy and Marines. But in traditional fashion, costs and complexity ballooned as delays mounted.
“The Defense Department has a poor track record in rapid development and production,” says Pettyjohn. “They’ve shot for the moon on everything.”

Just to be clear, there are trillions of dollars at stake in the 2024 election. The “machine” or “deep state” recognizes that you’re waking up and are becoming ungovernable.
Your support of Trump after two indictments (and gaining momentum) is proof that America has had enough, and rightfully so.

Ukrainian Forces Are Using Outlawed Mines – HRW
Human Rights Watch found that Ukrainian troops have been using scatter mines. The anti-personnel weapons are internationally banned, including by Kiev, because of their devastating impact on civilians.
HRW uncovered several instances where Ukraine used anti-personnel scatter mines. The human rights monitoring group first made the allegation in a January report, but a press release issued on Friday says more evidence was found recently.
The evidence suggests Ukrainian forces fired rockets carrying thousands of PFM-1 anti-personnel mines, also called “petal” or “butterfly” mines, according to the press release. The submunitions are pressure-activated, meaning they linger on the ground until someone steps on or drives over them.
HRW “verified 11 civilian casualties from the mines, including one death and multiple amputations of lower legs, based on interviews with victims and their family members,” the organization said.
Russia has also used anti-personnel weapons. However, unlike Moscow, Kiev has ratified an international treaty outlawing their use. The Ukrainian government responded to the HRW report by saying it will “study” the claims, but maintained that it has a right to self-defense.
US May Greenlight Cluster Munitions to Ukraine This Week Despite Russian Objections
3 hours ago (Updated: 2 hours ago)
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – The United States may greenlight cluster munitions for Ukraine as early as this week despite objections by Russia, an American broadcaster reported, citing US officials familiar with the matter.
The Biden administration could soon make the decision following recent calls by Ukraine to provide the controversial munitions, which drop bomblets that can endanger civilians for years, the report said on Wednesday.
US President Joe Biden must sign a presidential waiver to authorize the export of certain cluster munitions under federal law.
Meanwhile
Zelensky Says Counteroffensive Has Slowed Down as Ukraine Sees Artillery Shortage
WASHINGTON, July 6 (Sputnik) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in an interview said Ukraine’s counteroffensive has slowed down due to difficulties on the battlefield and they are experiencing a shortage in artillery units.
“Our slowed down counteroffensive is happening due to certain difficulties in the battlefield,” Zelensky said in a interview with US media that aired on Wednesday.
Moreover, Zelensky said Ukraine has a shortage in artillery units that makes it difficult for its armed forces to be capable of hitting all its intended targets.
The Ukrainian official further emphasized that Ukraine wants the United States to provide the ATACMS long-range missile weapon system, and urged NATO to make some kind of announcement about Ukraine becoming a member of the alliance.
Earlier in the day, US media reported that the United States may announce this week whether to provide Ukraine with cluster munitions to aid in its counteroffensive.
Ukraine launched its much-touted counteroffensive in early June after multiple postponements. The Russian Defense Ministry has repeatedly said that Ukrainian troops are trying to advance in the South Donetsk, Artemovsk, and Zaporozhye directions, but without success.
The pinnacle of selfish self-gratification.

I don’t believe community is any good, or has any future as anywhere but a place to visit occasionally, I used to say move them all to town where there are schools, healthcare, and a possibility of a future, but I no longer wish that upon the towns with the violence and unrest there now.
Helen, this was a really good post from someone who has direct knowledge of the problem. One observation that few government organisers make is that Aborigines, or those of Aboriginal descent, often achieve good life experience and work in the big cities. I know that this is not always the case, but it is far more common than in remote areas of Australia.
Sadly, assimilation is now considered a racist concept by the Aboriginal lobby. But it was ALWAYS the only way to rescue these people from terrible health, sexual predators, and community violence.

Britnah misunderstands the law.
In no way can litigation between Reynolds and Shiraz be construed as an attack on Britnah. To suggest otherwise is to say Shiraz “has no agency” and is a mere extension of Britnah.
And surely Britnah, of all people, isn’t suggesting that a woman shouldn’t be able to seek legal redress if she believes she has been wronged.
As for why Reynolds employed Britnah in the first place, I doubt she even bothered with the selection of a junior woodchuck like Britnah.

“A bank that cancels the account of a law abiding citizen becasue of her political views has surely lost its social license.”
Well yes, but the thing, whilst this cancelling, silencing and deplatforming is now happening to more mainstream figures, like Farage and others, it’s been happening to more fringe figures on the right, like Tommy Robinson and Katie Hopkins, for years now and nobody, including Farage, ever spoke up to defend them. Hopkins and Robinson are both unable to open bank accounts in the UK, her children have different names to her, she has never visited their school, and there are others basic things that, because of her “notoriety”, she can’t do or have. Robinson basically can’t leave the country. The other night on ADH-TV, Mark Steyn spoke to Hopkins. Whilst she isn’t gloating about what is happening, as she said to Steyn, Nigel Farage and others steadfastly refused to speak up to defend her rights or Tommy’s rights, and now they’ve come for Farage.
As I wrote the other night here…
First they came for Katie, and I did not speak out
Then they came for Tommy, and I did not speak out
Then they came for Milo, and I did not speak out
Then they came for Gavin, and I did not speak out

They then started to take the piss out of the obstructionists, saying we don’t need an IBAC, we need an “Excessive Pettiness Commission”.
They basically took the position that freedom of speech was a not negotiable.

Really should have seen this coming. By making sure as many as possible of the vocal proponents are Aboriginal, the Left can claim any criticism of the proposals’ methods or the proponents’ motives can be smeared as racist and dismissed without substantive argument.
Most of the lobby are thoroughly assimilated. However, they cannot allow the unfortunates who dominate news coverage to follow that path to success, because then their careers would disappear, and with them their political power and access to lots of munni.

Reportedly, he’s quite a decent bloke.

I also suspect the US establishment like to keep a certain proportion of the pollution in poverty to provide fodder for the washington war machine.
Maybe.
But they handled it beautifully.
No moral outrage and attempt at serious analysis of the pros and cons of banning people.
They simply took freedom of speech as a not negotiable baseline.
They actually made the visa-blockers look like the small-minded petty junior clerks that they are, with their pathetic claims to be “keeping us safe”.
They took the piss.

Matters indigenous –
One of the horrible mob lived next door to a rental property in a certain mining town. A set of tenants had been evicted for anti – social behavior, and, leaning over the fence one day, he observed that the new tenants, moving in were clearly indigenous.
He was summoned by the aging patriarch, who was leaning on his walking stick and supervising operations.
“Now listen whitefella, the young bloke is my son. He’s a welder on the mine sites, he’s done his trade and got his papers. He’s married to that lady, proper like, in church, none of this living together rubbish. Those young fellas are my grandies, they ever give you any grief, you just let me know. You got a problem, we talk about it. ”
Ten years later, he said you couldn’t have hoped for better neighbors…
Not the whole of the US establishment, only the Democrats who have the blacks trained just the way they want them. The same is happening here with the Labor party and the indigenous.

Through the constant succession of defective policies that seem to make the lives of the most afflicted Aborigines worse than before there was one brief, radical one that seemed to help: The intervention from 2007.
Does anyone think that The Voice would ever consider, recommend, or endorse a policy like that? One that addressed the dysfunctional behaviours of the people in the communities rather than spending shedloads of money for everyone not part of the communities to perform pointless mummery around them.
