Amazing that you keep evading that simple question and yet try to call me slow...


you are slow, or blinded blinded by ideology (probably both0, like the bastards who forced the cessation of the cdep).

that's all there is to it; your 'market forces' mantra is inappropriate  for people who cannot compete in the private sector job market, yet the dole is a terrible outcome for the long-term unemployed.

You're not discussing and analyzing anything, You're arguing for your already formed opinion. All you do is reject out of hand anything contrary to your position and when called on it you play the 'i'm just discussing it' card ....


You and Jordan should learn the difference



Nice joke..... thanks for coming...  Wink



I know you're a joke but I would call you a nice joke!

As much as some posters like to hide from evidence, the Australian War Memorial that it will, finally, recognise the Frontier Wars in it's collection about Australians and war.   Australian War Memorial promises ‘much broader, deeper’ depiction of frontier wars Cool

I don't have a market forces mantra... had no say over CDEP.....have no ideology (which is why I work for government at times) ... Abos have a captive audience for skills and trades - where are those?  As for the unemployed - what do you propose that I, as a single individual, do about them?  How many jobs are you offering today?

Is it possible for you to get to your launch pad by answering the simple question:-

How do you propose to get the willing compliance of the Aborigines, remote and city, in developing lasting skills that will benefit individuals and communities long term?

Hint:-  There is an Aboriginal here who runs a tree lopping business... he does very well..... HELLO!  My bloke who cuts my hair is part Indigenous - his father is near full and he worked as a barber - both are doing well, the father now owns a farm...... one of my nephews is part Aborigine and is an academic.....

So go - tell it to the Spartan who has his boat and lives beachside and gets fortnightly cash in his account and goes fishing etc and lives the life of Riley sandy beaches drinking rum every night...  tell him he needs to go to TAFE and go far away to work a Monday to Friday job with rules to improve his community and himself... FYI he's happy with the 'traditional' way..... as preserved and promoted by Whartey .....

Only a Wharte Man is stupid enough to work for a living.....................

Are we there yet?

Culture is Life for all - yet only one culture is considered unworthy of life - and that is the one that sustains all the others..............

Only in a society and culture essentially at peace with itself could all these dissident groups flourish and object to their comfortable lifestyle... and even be encouraged by that culture that 'oppresses' them all.

.... presenting tonight on Inclusiflix ..... The Fall Of Japan, 1945.................. starring Jack Nicholson as Tojo .............. Ethan Hawke as Emperor Hirohito .............. Glenn Close as General MacArthur.............. John Lone as Admiral Chester Nimitz  ....... Will Smith as Colonel Paul Tibbets ......... Morgan Freeman as Winston Churchill ............... and introducing Waleed Ali as President Truman   ....................... special appearance by Ricardo Montalban as Adolph Hitler and Samuel L Jackson as Goebbels ............and a cast of millions of non-specific gender and race ...............................

Well - why would he want to leave?  Not allowed to take things out of context.....

Over to you, dickhead....   Grin  Grin  Grin  Grin  Grin   really triggered some of you - all the slime is coming out of the woodwork.... welcome to my web ...........

You dickhead - it wasn't me saying that Yond Abo on the beach should be forced to leave and undergo training and take on a five day a week or more job somewhere far from home - given that th3ere are no such job opportunities up there.... that was great divide - yet for some reason of your own in your demented mind, you would rather support him in forcing that Abo into that way of life that he doesn't want.

So I'll ask you again - how do you propose to get an Abo to leave his home, his lifestyle, his family, and the kind of lifestyle that others would kill to get - sandy beaches, drinking rum every night, going fishing, catching yabbies and prawns and lobster while still getting regular money in the bank account and all modern conveniences laid on via plane trip all paid for or freighted in and built for you ... to take up the Wharte Man's idea of learning skills and trades and then working at least eight hours a day Monday to Friday and probably more to earn a living and a home etc and raise a family, and then travel home for a couple of days rest?

How do YOU propose to make that happen, random - you idiot?  Only a total idiot would consider that 'racist'... but you clowns love to dig your own graves with your BS.

Come in, spinner... I got this................

About time some truth came to Australian interaction with the Indigenous peoples and their resistance to white colonialism.  The Australian War Memorial has resisted telling this version of Australian history for over three or more decades that I am aware of.  Shame, really.   Roll Eyes

The first episode of the show, produced by Rachel Perkins, daughter of the late Charles Perkins, made a number of claims which cannot be verified but serve to vilify the nation’s European colonisers.

In the introductory episode the staggering claim is made that 100,000 Aboriginals were murdered by troops or settlers in wars which lasted a century.

There is no evidence presented to justify this statement and even the final findings of the eight-year long Colonial Frontier Massacres Digital Map Project (elements of which have been successfully challenged) conducted by University of Newcastle emeritus professor Lyndall Ryan do not support this figure. The Guardian, which supported Professor Ryan’s flawed project, analysed the data and found that between 11,000 and 14,000 Aboriginal people died.

Which leaves a credibility gap into which Perkins’ 89,000 to 86,000 alleged deaths have fallen.

War is usually defined as a state of armed conflict between two countries or different groups within a country but it clear that there was never a state of war between Great Britain and an Aboriginal nation as there were no Aboriginal nations, no matter how nation is defined.

Further, the groups of Aboriginals who resisted European settlement did not constitute a coherent body.

Wars is too strong a term for what were at best deadly skirmishes between soldiers and a handful of Aboriginal clan leaders initially and later between small Aboriginal bands and police or settlers.

The claim is also made that children were taken as ‘slaves’ and that women and children were the most valuable commodities in the nascent colony though there is no evidence that slavery was ever practised by the colonisers and certainly no evidence that women and children were traded as commodities.

Well - if there is agreement that there should be a national memorial that gives a fair rendition of both sides of these minor conflicts, I'm happy to go with that - but clearly this does not belong in the War Memorial.

That was the AWM under Brendan Nelson, acting on intructions from PM John Howard.  It was an unpopular view and one protested a great deal.  The new director Matt Anderson has lately adopted a different view.  The point is, it was a war, it occurred on Australian soil and it largely concerned Australians and deserved to be commemorated, which is, afterall, the job of the AWM.
