In 2021, 30,000 people identified as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander in Tasmania. Of those, 91.9% identified as Aboriginal, 4.1% as Torres Strait Islander, and 4.1% identified as both. This represents 5.4% of the total Tasmanian population.

Aboriginality is a social construct created by racists without any scientific basis. .

All Aboriginal-designated agencies are therefore objectively, scientifically racist. Tsk, tsk Roll Eyes

Any of them that also identify as Torres Strait Islander are not Tasmanian Aboriginals.

Of the other 91% - 90% of those would be made up of "box tickers" & the likes of Bruce Pascoe - who moved there & also not Tasmanian Aboriginals.

‘Cause Ernie may have thought it up.

Well from all accounts it's common knowledge that he and Richard Walley did think it up in the 70's.

No need to tip toe around that.

It is a feel-cringey exercise.

Those doing WTC should start by thanking hardworking Aussie taxpayers who give the natives Centrelink and Medicare.
