Welcome to country: invented in 1976 by Ernie Dingo now squeezed by corporate fuckwit zombies everywhere in 2023.
Excuse me? Did I wake up in the 1990's? It's been a pretty damn long time since it was common knowledge that "abo" is a highly unacceptable slur.
...simple diminutive form of a word to de-humanise people. See Jap, Homo, Jew, Abo, it is always up to the person being called a thing, to sanction a term, in the particular context. if in doubt, don't use it.
Some people think they are being positive when they use a slur to say something positive - they are in actuality just being patronising and condescending, i.e. "I'll say this for the Japs, they have good family values and work hard". Also, entitled people don't bother reading the room.
Hiccups, we don't often agree, but on this we do 100%
I’m agreeing with both of you on this.
It's probably more a case of people believing things that aren't true rather than outright racism supa, not saying the racism doesn't exist but I'd be surprised if it is the main issue
Some of the reasons being given why it isn't 'safe' to vote are just plain wrong but because Jacinta or a couple of other indigenous people say something like "there are no details", which is then amplified by Dutton it means people are voting no for the wrong reasons
There may be some valid arguments for a no vote but it would be a quiet debate if everyone stuck to just those few and that's not in the interests of Dutton and co. so they keep generating all these false narratives.
At least it's a sign that the country's not completely going to shit when a top ranked Liberal makes the effort to try and debunk some of the bullshit

One thing that that cartoonist got right though is that Jacinta is the one sitting at the bosses table

Agreement all round, the word abo ranks alongside gook or nigger, a very ugly slur.
.
Bodgie , widgie, septic, punk, emo, indo, kiwi, eshay.......words as descriptors of humans will always be used. It IS the intent and the context. Nevertheless if the zeitgeist deems a word offensive any fair-minded person should be sensitive to its use.

Good on you, Kamahl!
“It is gut-wrenching how a whole group of people were to be wiped out like it was vermin.”

And there it is. Nice one OTF.

Waveman. Hi. Whats your motive here ? AW
fk knows anymore, AW. Apparently Aboriginal people aren't to be trusted, can't be human, or make mistakes, or be corrupt, or try things and fail, or experiment with power structures and ego, or try to navigate difficult bureaucracies, or advocate for unpopular ideas. Only white people can do these things. And posting passively racist links with 'see?' implications is not only ok, it is part of the winning narrative.
Punching down
OTF. Hi. Well you’ve used two words of your vocabulary, based upon your past engagements, you’d only have a couple or maybe three left, don’t use them all at once, wouldn’t want anyone to think you aren’t very smart.AW
Murdoch's sponsored house boy Kamahl acted as if he was Aboriginal.
Part of the Stolen Generation...
Skippy's Park Ranger Ed used to be an Aboriginal top cop & ordered his white constable to arrest Arrernte man Kamahl (Who back then was a crazed ritualistic killer)
Skippy's then Black Boss had his Cops track Kamahl down to the Watering Hole & arrested him for sunbathing topless with his girlfriend. White Cop cuffed him for indecent exposure...looks like they stole him or banished him...story rings true!

That was 1967 The year of the Reffo...explains everything...
Makes sense for Kamahl to magically reappear at the next Reffo...
Highly likely they'll banish Kamahl again.
Skippy is also Voting [YES]

Edit. Just seen basesix post above. Seems we’re on the same page
Lots of Australian taxpayers wondering why $30 billion a year isn’t getting to those that need it the most.
Timely also given the concerns around the voice being ATSIC 2.0/son of ATSIC.

Hi AW. Just to clarify, “punching down” is what I felt waveman was doing by posting a link to that article.
https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/punch-down
Thanks again Jelly, Wow you found magic here! Kev Carmody says it all in this fabulous and ironic song.
This song and video should be made into a learning lesson in all the schools with associated discussions about it.
Embolden the kids, so they get an understanding and reality of the sad state of Colonisation, its affects and where we are at today. If so there may be some truth for the kids to reckon and reason with so they make the right decisions in a considered and kindly way and hopefully, maybe turn things right around in this false reality of equality, justice and sustainability.
Vote YES! Thanks
Friday Nite Surf Psych Medley courtesy King Stingray (Enjoy)
Intro : King Stingray are 2 Offspring of Yothu Yindi
2020 signed to Chat's Bargain Bin Records.
Raw Yolngu Country blend of 60's Pop Choruses with a dash of jangly psych-surfpunk!
Sounds crazy but they have put out a few cool tracks that work real good...happy to share King Stingray.
Background
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Stingray
This first tune is a tribute...anyone know which song they salute...damn...should know this!
How familiar does that chorus sound...so cool & catchy...great hook!
Same as the second song...sounds familiar...again pretty cool sound.
Definitely some familiar power-pop (Tribute) driving their chorus.
Nice TBB
Love those KSR boys
The article is totally relevant to the conversation.
Saying its punching down to post it is purely just deflection, and just bully type tactics to silence those that you dont agree with.
In what way is it relevant, Indo? Is one of your arguments that Aboriginal organisations cannot be trusted because of the potential for corruption? I thought that stuff occurred right across the political spectrum, regardless of race. As for your accusation of bullying, that’s laughable and misdirected. Waveman’s motive in posting a link to that article was clearly to discredit organisations run by Aboriginal people. Does one corrupt Aboriginal organisation make them all untrustworthy? You’re clutching at straws there, I reckon.
This is the omertà at work. Predictable and right on cue. Not allowed to talk about it. Happens all the time: story’s not reported, discussions shut down, diversion, insults.
You think by covering up these kinds of stories it helps aboriginal people? It doesn’t. It only perpetuates the problems.
Hi OTF,
Nice take off mate on the rebound, smooth riding, no bumps, coast is well and truly clear setting up for the ride ahead, Yew!
Cover ups not needed; everyone knows about this stuff, but in the context of the current discussion, highlighting this issue is punching down. Do you wish the no campaign had added your point to the list of 10 reasons to vote no in the referendum booklet?
Cheers, Reform. I hope I can do the same at Cloudbreak next week, but my past experiences there indicate that I’m more likely to live up to my namesake!

Jeezus farkn christ...
So reading every single one of these communities say that they would encourage change through the voice. Yet none of them are Burleighs 'proud Bunjalung man' mate, so it's probably not worth taking any notice of.
^^ interesting reads, udo
;)
You need to do better than that
Cool OTF, You've earned it with your post and stance on this matter!
Haha, As Simon Anderson said of Sunset in an article back in 89-90. Just when you think you're into the wave - "Take an extra 3 strokes" (Or something of that nature). Good advice, it worked wonders for me.
Are you ok Burleigh? I mean Really?? So dark man.. Look the sun is shining, Aboriginal people have suffered long enough! What do you reckon?
Its time to turn this whole concept around.
You and I can be a part of the change.
Get with it mate! You're not on the right path! Neither is Indo, just poor form! Or are you getting sponsored? Or what? I just don't understand you guys.
But its true isnt it buttercup.
You're basing your whole no argument, and pages of it, on the decision of a mate, whos in your circle of friends, so most likely shares your same government paranoia.
Come on. You've been so vocal, whats your thoughs on the article? And dont go blamimg the media for this one.
What do you genuinely think about what these people have to say.
