Tony Abbott stated yesterday Australia "unsettled' before Brits. Aborigines were only here 59,946 years before you.

Yep, haven't they done well in all those years, a stick that doesn't come back. Grin

Well they wiped out the pygmies and Mungo man didn't they?

Dear Tony,

We owe our existence to an invasion of an occupied Land, easy military defeat of the Natives, appalling subsequent treatment of them, and British Colonisation.

Yours faithfully,

Aussie.

Good post.

No reasonable person could argue with that.

There was no military invasion. Cheesy

When you vote for an idiot you can hardly be surprised when the result is that you get an idiot.

It's not Abbotts fault everyone knew him well and still voted the dope into power.

You keep repeating the topic lie DNA... gee I wonder why? Cheesy

It just doesn't seem right taking from something that you all see in a negative light. It's a principle thing. You probably have a life expendency of above 80 years with the best medical system in the world. On that alone I'm glad for the reality I find myself in.

The British were Imperialists, their Terra Nullius claim was based on their observation that there was no nation, no organised people with a claim in their understanding of such claims.

Terra nullius (/ˈtɛrə nʌˈlaɪ.əs/, plural terrae nullius) is a Latin expression deriving from Roman law meaning "land belonging to no one",[1] which is used in international law to describe territory which has never been subject to the sovereignty of any state, or over which any prior sovereign has expressly or implicitly relinquished sovereignty. Sovereignty over territory which is terra nullius may be acquired through occupation,[2] though in some cases doing so would violate an international law or treaty.

Within their terms of reference at that time they were quite correct and their colonisation was thus entirely legal and justifiable at law.
You can't simply re-interpret their actions then under our concepts now and say they were thus wrong at that time, sorry.

Tony Abbott hates to admit he's British to the boot straps and his forebears were liars also, who told the British Sovereign Australia was uninhabited.

Their deceit is now fully exposed, and us born Australian are paying a price for liars like Abbott.

Actually, it was just a silly Freudian slip by Abbott, which he struggled to get out of. It wasn’t that bad.

But it does give you a hint of his influences and the people he surrounds himself with - Andrew Bolts, Gerard Hendersons, David Flynts, and the gaggle of fossilized old fruitloops that are being parachuted into the boards and positions of influence around the country.

Yes, thank heavens the grown-ups are back in charge.

The first 5 years the first fleet stuck to Farm Cove, Parramatta and a few other areas Karnal. I just want to know where you got the opinion that the local aboriginals showed the first fleeters where to get water. I makes me wonder how much of your posts are actually correct.

The tank stream was underground, dear. How do you think the settlers found out about it?

A Freudian slip is a verbal or memory mistake that is believed to be linked to the unconscious mind.

Abbott saw his deceit would not go down and tried to change what he was saying mid sentence!

Doubling one's weekly income is quite an achievement.

Congratulations.

Don't spend it all at once. OK?
