Jesus - don't give them something else to whinge about - Rudd already raised his rump to them... let it be...

Now it's time to either be a full part of society or move to your own Homeland under the Two State Solution. No good will ever come from persisting with this victimhood mentality like the Gazans, while members of their own group are causing all their troubles.

"Remembering the Freedom Riders"

I remember those days.

It was back when, ....all Australians were free ....to visit Ayers Rock [and to even climb it,
because it was there, ....and to then look for miles and miles, in awe, across that sun burnt vista].

No more.

[....along with other locales in Australia].

I knew Charlie Perkins personally and he and I were on a first name basis. I also knew his brother Neville and often interacted with them in the Alice Springs Hospital.

Charlie died of Renal Failure as do the vast majority of Aborigines because they are starved when they are weaned just when their kidneys are forming so their kidneys do not form right because of malnutrition so they die of Renal Failure.

Charlie always treated me well and with respect but even though I did not like his political assertions I always liked and respected him as a person.

You could climb Ayers Rock and take a dump on it.
