Cats can feel free to furnish themselves with the volumes of it and see for themselves where the census explicitly excludes full bloods and where it doesn’t –

Full Blood Aborigines were excluded from the Census.
It says so in the heaser of almost every page dealing with Non European Races.
Read your own link, you brain dead cockroach.

…obviously it wasn’t going to include ALL aborigines as the ABS, unlike today, didn’t have unlimited resources to uncover every stone across the nation.

Wrong.
The Census was forbidden by the Constitution from counting Full Blood Aborigines.

Thanks Cohenite, what I’ve been saying all along.

There are hundreds of tables in those volumes that specifically “exclude” or don’t exclude (by omission of the word “exclude”) aborigines.

The 1967 Referendum was for “Aborigines to be counted in the census.” They were already but not as part of the general population.

Read your own link, you brain dead cockroach.

That was the reason for the 1967 referendum, to allow the Commonwealth to take over Aboriginal Affairs – to make laws for them.

Already read it.
The Census operated under the Laws that you refer to.
… the Aboriginal Race … onviously referred to people who were only of the Aboriginal Race.
Hence the fact that those people were not counted in the Census until ater the 1967 Referendum.
In other words, they weren’t counted because it was illegal to do so.

Roger Cook accuses ex-Aboriginal boss David Collard of being ‘irresponsible’ over tree planting debacle
Josh Zimmerman
The West Australian
Tue, 18 July 2023 1:06PM

It was “irresponsible” and “inappropriate” for the former boss of an Aboriginal corporation to attempt to leverage new Indigenous heritage laws in pursuit of a share of millions of dollars in grant funding.

This was the assessment of Premier Roger Cook — although he insisted the dispute was a “fight over Federal Government funding” and had “nothing to do with Aboriginal cultural heritage”.

Whadjuk Aboriginal Corporation chief executive David Collard has left the organisation after revelations that he allegedly threatened to withhold approvals under the contentious new Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act until his group received a quarter of a $10 million Commonwealth grant for restoration of the Canning River system.

The South East Regional Centre for Urban Landcare was aware of Mr Collard’s position — which they said had been relayed by a Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions officer — when making the decision on Friday to postpone the planting of 5500 shrubs and trees along the banks of the river at the weekend.

About 120 volunteers were prepared to take part in the two separate tree plantings but were informed in an email from SERCUL that the events were not going ahead because of “sudden problems surrounding the new Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act”.

And what the people here don’t realise is that Australia’s small Strategic Oil Reserve is in the USA. FFS. What T.W.A.T. allowed that?

Well, the passion-fingered Morrison Government, of course.
Luckily Team Albanese is on the job and turning things around, toot sweet:

The Albanese government argues it has improved the situation since taking office last year.

“The government is putting Australia’s fuel security framework back on track after years of Coalition neglect,” the spokesman said.

Under International Energy Agency rules, each country has an obligation to hold emergency oil stocks equivalent to at least 90 days of net oil imports to avoid a major disruption to oil supplies.

As of December 2022, Australia had 59 days of stock held onshore, according to the latest Australian Petroleum Statistics.

As of May 2023, Australia had 51 days of stock held onshore, according to the latest Australian Petroleum Statistics.

It may not look like an improvement to the untrained eye – but don’t panic.
Top men are looking after this.

cohenite, on what kids can do for themselves.

See the movie Swallows and Amazons, which was made in 1974, but is set in 1929, to see kids doing stuff for themselves in the outdoors. If you don’t know the story, there’s six kids, 2 boys and 4 girls – two lots of siblings – who are aged from around 9 to 13.

It’s the summer holidays and they’re in the Lake District and sailing their little crafts – Swallows and Amazons. The family of four, camp out in little tents that they have put up themselves; they cook over an open fire; they race their boat against the girls from the other family – the Amazons; they have adventures; the eldest boy gets ticked off by his mother – Virginia McKenna – for sailing at night, and also from the Amazon’s uncle, falsely, I may add. It’s all very cubs and scouts and girl guides stuff. But is thoroughly delightful.

That brought back fond memories of me camping out to escape the madness as a kid.

I remember how much the story charmed everyone at the time. I really enjoyed the book.
Here is the thing: it was a story. A literary construction by a good storyteller and writer.
It wasn’t ‘how people were’ either in 1929 or 1974, it was a great story of how we would like to be, having fun and doing cool stuff.
But you know, in hindsight I am happy to pretend our lives had many things in common with that derring-do of the kids, and the approval of their adults for various forms of that derring-do.

The Header says Full Blood Aborigines excluded.
What that means isn’t that Full Blood Aborigines are counted with Half Caste Aborigines.
It means that Full Blood Aborigines weren’t counted at all, in accordance with the Constitution, as it then was [until 1967].

They were excluded from other groups including half castes; they had their own full blood category and the total was:

Full-Aboriginal (counted separately)* 19,939 –

The table I put up was from the 1911 census.

Further to the word exclusion which dolts like crotchless jump on to prove that 3rd nations were not counted until 1967 and I quote professor Helen Irving:

Following the 1967 referendum, section 127 of the Constitution was removed. This section said: In reckoning the numbers of the people of the Commonwealth, or of a State or other part of the Commonwealth, aboriginal natives shall not be counted.

It is a common myth that the section excluded Aboriginal people from being counted in the census, and that the 1967 referendum meant that they would henceforth be counted. It did not. The Aboriginal people have always been counted, from the very first Commonwealth census in 1911. In fact, census statistics specifically recorded the populations of Aboriginal Australians. “Half-blood” Aborigines were considered to be white and were included in the general census.

The purpose of section 127 (admittedly, not obvious from its words) was to guide the calculation of the numbers of parliamentary representatives per State and also to determine certain State financial entitlements and obligations, based on State populations. When these calculations were made, the numbers of Aboriginal people, as counted, were excluded.

Now, really crotchless, STFU.

Chris, yes, it is a story; and a depiction of something that many would’ve liked to have done as kids. But the idea of it, of kids sailing; erecting a tent, making a fire and cooking sausages, is not outlandish.

On Lake Macquarie, here, kids are taught to sail in boats of similar size to the ones in the film. I’m sure there would be many places all over the country that do the same.

While scouts and guides learn some of that other stuff (and more).

But what we see from the story is that combination of kids being given freedom to do things, though with reasonable boundaries so that they are not put at real risk, and kids being (mostly) responsible – while on their way to growing up well.

One of the problems that led to s.127 – repealed after the 1967 referendum – was that as the full blooded aboriginals were itinerant they wandered over state boundaries. The reasoning was that therefore they shouldn’t be included in census derived political or financial calculations. This is why they were counted but tallied separately.

We have to remember that state populations were much smaller at federation.

Don’t know whether someone has mentioned this previously, but my understanding was that the aborigines were excluded from the senate allocation count because being nomadic it was unclear at any point in time just which state they were in.
Huh?
All States had the same number of Senators, from 1/1/1901.

The uncounted indigenes issue pithily explained in a Peter O’Brien piece just published at Quadrant:

https://quadrant.org.au/opinion/the-voice/2023/07/the-case-for-a-mentoring-paternalism/

Section 127 was in the original Constitution but repealed as a result of the 1967 referendum. It said: “In reckoning the numbers of people of the Commonwealth, or of a State or other part of the Commonwealth, aboriginal natives shall not be counted.” This might seem to the casual eye to be confirmation of Burney’s claim but, on a closer look, it does not mention the census. It has long been shown by scholars such as Geoffrey Sawyer and John La Nauze that, rather than instructing census takers, Section 127 was designed to prevent states — especially Queensland and Western Australia, which in 1901 were still partly unexplored — from using estimates of uncounted Aborigines in their remote regions to boost their population statistics and thus give themselves additional MPs in the lower house of parliament.

Moreover, in a recent article in The Australian, Professor Geoffrey Blainey provided convincing evidence that Aborigines were counted in the Commonwealth census right from 1911 and ever since.  They were also accounted for in the annual reports of the Aboriginal affairs departments of the individual states, which, up until 1967, were exclusively responsible for Aboriginal welfare. Aborigines were always counted as people of Australia.

It is true that the demographic data contained in the census report of 1911 specifically state that its data are ‘excluding of full-blood Aborigines’, as does every census up to 1967.  However, the 1911 census recorded a total of 10,113 ‘half caste Aborigines’ and they were included in the demographic data.  As they have been ever since.

I ask any other woman here, would you put up with it without complaint? I’m damned sure you would not. I am not a teenager for some stalker to upbraided for things I haven’t done or for things I am not, for ways I comment or for desiring to contribute in a friendly way, no more than anyone else here does. It is perfectly appropriate for me to use the ‘I’ word in this regard, so shut the f*ck up anyone who wishes to say it isn’t.

I will continue to come in here as and when I like and to tell people who regard me as some sort of narcissistic terror or juvenile attention seeker to take a good look at the nose ring in their nose they are being led by. I have had a difficult start in life, a very long and useful life, many trials, a few misfortunes and plenty of optimism, and there are things I have to say and share in this fractured world that are, or should be, of interest to many on a blog like this. I am neither an entitled teal nor any sort of saint, just someone trying to do her best.

Your behaviour here with regard to a serious stalker has pulled me down so far that sometimes I simply don’t want to get up again. Nothing else in life so far has ever done that to me, so congratulations on your perspicacious humanity.

Some of you will be dancing with glee at the thought of that.

the several States and Territories at the Census of 3rd April, 1911, Classified according to Occupation
1038
#2. 94 Commonwealth of Australia.-Full-blood Females of Non-European Race enumerated in the several
States and Territories at the Census of 3rd April, 1911, Classified according to Occupation ..

None of my birdies have graduated from university, although there was much hide-and-seek today as three sets of magpie parents were trying to evict seven kiddies from the Cafe, so they can have space for the new season editions. I had young magpies whimpering, and cringing and hiding under bushes. Sad, but part of life. I talked with my old mum on phone today, she observed that we humans are having a lot of problems evicting the kids lately too. The magpie younguns though may well find other Cafes, which will set them for life, and make their new head waiters happy.

Chris, yes, it is a story; and a depiction of something that many would’ve liked to have done as kids. But the idea of it, of kids sailing; erecting a tent, making a fire and cooking sausages, is not outlandish.

I believe Ransome wrote the stories, inspired by the activities of real children in the Lake District.
IIRC, the actual names of the progenitors of the various characters in the books were known during their lifetimes and they attracted some publicity.

They might have been the children of an English family with connections to the Oil activites in Persia.

Aboriginal natives clearly means Full-blood Aborigines.
That’s clear from the 1911 Census, which states that Full-bloods are excluded, and provides no numbers, but numbers the Half-caste Aborigines along with the Full-bloods and Half-castes from all other Non European Races.

Linda Burney’s claim could still be true for a Full-blood grandparent or Great Grandprent of hers alive in 1911, though I doubt there were many Full-blood Aborigines left in NSW in 1911.

Sancho, I don’t believe the gaming hypothesis. Some of it, perhaps, not all of it.

There is a narrative here about me that the stalker both created and is capitalising upon. It’s easy if the object of the stalking is comfortably off and her life current life stories depict this, and more so if you can depict her childhood and early adult struggles as a pity-play, dismissed as an Angela’s Ashes. Especially if you are holed up in a motel (albeit forgotten that it is with your house-sale money in the bank) and everyone feels a bit sorry for lonely old you.

If this is ‘gaming’ then who is doing it? If people here sincerely believe that I am a bit of a flake and a nuisance, that’s fine, just say so and I’ll scroll on by. It’s the stalking that is getting to me It starts with a comment with an endless narrative-forming repetition of the same old tropes and memes. Tell the lie long enough and often enough and the narrative begins. Oh yes, give it a tick, we hate that, the effing fool she is, etc. etc. And the underhand – the undertoad – that is pushing the upticks along.

I just want it to STOP. The stalking, and then the narrative upticking.

Anthony Albanese slams ‘nonsense’ No campaign’s claims every detail must be known before Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum

Anthony Albanese has insisted Australians don’t need to know every detail of the Voice to Parliament before they vote on it in the upcoming referendum.

Speaking on 2SM radio on Tuesday morning, the PM told Richard King the Voice will be nothing more than an advisory group and has ‘no right of veto’.

‘It’s simply an advisory group. And it will be elected by Indigenous people themselves. It’s not binding on the Parliament,’ he said.

I’ve read the No Case fairly thoroughly. Unless I’ve missed something, it does not argue, or even imply that:

Every detail must be known. All it says is:

We don’t know how it will help disadvantaged communities and close the gap.
We don’t know how many members this Voice would have.
We don’t know if they would be elected or chosen, or how this would occur.
We don’t know how it would make representations or be held accountable

… functionally critically important, hardly “every detail“.

The Voice has a “right to veto”.

The Voice is binding on Parliament.

If I didn’t know better, I’d be tempted to believe that Uncle Luigi is a dissembling liar, making shit up.

Then you changed your toon around 4pm to, oh no look, “full blood” and then links have still been provided and you “win?” RFLMAO!!!!

All Tables under the heading Full-blood Aborigines display … … , meaning they weren’t counted [or excluded] as explained at the top of every relevant page.

The 1967 Referendum was for “Aborigines to be counted in the census.” They were already but not as part of the general population.

No, it was for Australian Natives to be counted in the Census.
These were the Full-bloods that weren’t counted at the 1911 Census or any of the other Censuses.

Lie-Sander squeaks:
Disproved where? Roger and many others have provided links to actual tables that have actual aboriginal (yes, full blood!) stats,
The Stats for Full-blood aboprigines in the 1911 Census state … … , meaning they weren’t counted.
Neither Roger nor anyone else has supplied any Tables or Links, they can’t, because there are no Stats on Full-blood Aborigines in the 1911 Census.

which in itself is pretty sad given you deliberately shifted your “argument” (if you could call it that) from 10.54am this morning “Aborigines were excluded from the referendum” which is a very broad and dumb thing to say.

Here’s my comment from 10.54 am this morning:

Australian Natives were not counted in the Census prior to the 1967 Referendum.

After that, the Aboriginal Category was created, which was self identifying, so the issue of the Australian Natives being counted still wasn’t addressed.

For reference, here’s my previous comment from 10.29 am:

Ed Case
Jul 18, 2023 10:29 AM [replies to]
The “Yes” pamphlet contains the same old malarkey about the 1967 referendum allowing Aborigines to be counted in the census “The same as everybody else.”

Ed Case replies:
It isn’t ‘malarkey’.
The confusion arises from Mixed Race people being able to self identify as Aboriginal since the 1971 Census.
Prior to the 1967 Referendum, mixed Race people were counted as ‘Australians’.
Aborigines, then known as Australian Natives, weren’t counted.

So, in a sense, Linda Burney is right.
Prior to 1967, she wasn’t counted as a Native Australian, because she isn’t one.

Sancho, there is a long, long history, way before your time, of Johanna constantly stalking and then doxxing me. When she came in this time it was straight on with the stalking memes, the ones she always uses to drum up an uptick of fury against me, that I’m narcissistic, attention-seeking, that I lie and that I am all manner of ridiculous things. It is a created narrative and it has happened so many times before. I have every right to be sick of it and to regard it as a failure of this blog that it hasn’t in some way been at least recognised; instead it has been encouraged.

Now Tom joins the pile on. At least he puts his name to it, although it disappoints me that he flares in such a manner to me; I have had a lot of respect for you Tom over the years. I know that I am both upset and angry at the moment, but ‘precious petal’ just continues with the narrative. How I’m feeling now and making it known is the result of many years of suffering pile-ons here which destroy for me any pleasure I may take from just mooseying along here and, I hope, being a bit contributory too. The stalking, for that is definitely what it is, my husband has no doubt about that, he thinks she’s a prime nutjob, has been like a sword of Damocles over my head, it falls in unexpected ways, although any mention of my childhood, which as an older woman I think of more these days, certainly seems to bring the righteous fire of stalking retribution to the fore.

Naturally, Sancho, my objections will make it worse. It’s a Catch 22 for me.
I’ve recognised that for a long time now, and guys, I’m beyond caring now.
Do your worst. When Tom came in, for a moment I felt KO’d. For a moment.

Recently, he asked me what I would especially like when it’s his turn to meet his Maker, and I replied, the port.

See the movie Swallows and Amazons, which was made in 1974, but is set in 1929, to see kids doing stuff for themselves in the outdoors. If you don’t know the story, there’s six kids, 2 boys and 4 girls – two lots of siblings – who are aged from around 9 to 13.

I remember reading the book the movie (I didn’t even know there was a movie made…Ill have to look it up) was based on while at school. The author wrote a series of books about the kids.
I quite liked them.

I’ve never understood the pain and suffering not being counted on the census has or is causing to some original owners.

It’s a fake issue Linda Burney brought up, by saying that until she was 10 [1967], Aborigines weren’t counted in the Census.

Now, it depends on your definition of ‘aborigines’.
Full-blood Aborigines [defined in The Constitution as Australian Natives weren’t counted in the Census and Federal Parliament was not allowed to make any Laws regarding them [though the States could and did. Some claim the Queensland Act of 1897 was the model for South Africa’s Apartheid Laws].
Part Aborigines [defined as Half-castes in the Census] had the same Rights as anyone else, in theory, and were counted in the first Census, along with all other Races.

I ask any other woman here, would you put up with it without complaint? I’m damned sure you would not. I am not a teenager for some stalker to upbraided for things I haven’t done or for things I am not, for ways I comment or for desiring to contribute in a friendly way, no more than anyone else here does. It is perfectly appropriate for me to use the ‘I’ word in this regard, so shut the f*ck up anyone who wishes to say it isn’t.

I rarely comment here any more, Lizzie, but I do follow.

You’ve now invited other women who follow and post on this blog – be careful what you wish for! Here’s my response, and you can like it or not as you see fit, and if you decide I’m one of the up-tickers of the Nemesis you seem so obsessed about, well that’s your problem, not mine.

I recollect that this morning, unprovoked by any previous post I could see, you posted something to the effect that shortly no doubt Johanna would be along to post something derogatory about you.

You actually provoke responses – quite unnecessarily.

Until, or unless, you realise that you are your own worst enemy in this respect you are going to suffer whatever agonies you seem to over a few up-ticks on someone else’s posts, and a lack of the same on your own.

This is a publicly visible blog, available to anyone who cares to stumble across it. Different people have different opinions and ideas, like different things, find some people boring, annoying, distasteful, ridiculous, hilarious or whatever.

If you’re so concerned about what people here think of you, perhaps you should consider starting your own blog, where you can blather on about whatever you like, can ban anyone you don’t like and just have a jolly grand old time. You could even award yourself umpteen up-ticks a dozen times a day if you wanted to.

You asked what other women think about the situation; well we don’t all consider you the be-all and end-all of anything. You’re just another person who posts here, and your agonies over some up-ticks and some pointed comments are, frankly, as boring as batshit (although admittedly sometimes hilarious in their vapidity.) I’m not “dancing with glee” at whatever someone has posted that’s upset you today. All I can see is just another self-inflicted Lizzie rant that contributes zip.

Basically, Lizzie, get over yourself, it’s just a blog – and it doesn’t belong to you.

Ah, port Hairy knows the right way to pass that and told me, but I forget now.
There is so much to forget.

My first husband and I enjoyed Lacrima Christi port on our honeymoon in Portuguese Timor in early 1969. It was the only alcohol apart from Palm Araki you could buy. We got it from the only, very dusty, Chinese store, which catered for doleful-faced young and lonely Portuguese soldiers on national service, who were interested in this new world of ‘ippies. We caught the TAA flight from Darwin, which we did on the edge of a cyclone coming in. Landing in Baucau on a WW2 airstrip in a small Fokker Friendship, we went to the only guesthouse, whitewashed Portuguese style, in this rather small Indonesian style village, where women washed clothes in the stream running through it. At dinner were the Australian consul and various hippies who had also flown in. Some hippies in those days had money. The best man at our wedding in Darwin, a tall blonde rugby-player, arrived to join us at the airport in a torn shirt and shorts holding half a flagon of wine. He seemed very drunken and was not allowed on the flight. His passport said he was an Investment Banker, but in the words of a song I like, its photograph ‘showed a face, from another time and place, he looked nothing like that’. He bore the name of a famous South African family. Our other witness was a travelling Quaker who asked me to not marry my husband but come instead with him to Communist China, entering illegally on a secret Quaker network and having thus a tale to tell. I managed to say no to that, for love was a commitment already made. We had met them both two days before at the Don, a blood and thunder aboriginal pub that was an icon of Darwin at the time and which served as our ‘wedding breakfast’ venue. Like our marriage, it later burned down.

Well, the lie that Full-blood Aborigines were counted in the 1911 Census has been disproved.

No it hasn’t, you f*cking twat. See table two on page 2054 of the linked PDF (or page six of the 244 page document) – get your carer to read the title of the table to you – it is:

“Full blooded Australian Aboriginals Enumerated in the Several States and Territories of the Commonwealth of Australia At the census of 3rd April 1911.”

19,939 were counted across the six states and two territories. However, not all “Full blooded Australian Aboriginals” in the country were counted, I’ll concede.

There is a note below the aforementioned table two that reads:

“The full blooded Australian Aboriginals included in the above Table represent only those who were in the employ of whites at the date of the Census, or were living in a civilised or semi-civilised condition in the vicinity of settlements of whites at that date. An enumeration of Aboriginals living in a purely wild state was not undertaken.”

So which is it, Eddles? 19,939 full blooded aboriginals were counted in the 1911 census, or none at all?

BTW, don’t think too hard about it, you might have an embolism.
