For someone who's punched down on the first nations people of this country, Indo, this video and it's message must be awfully confusing for you? So what is your stance? You're either all in, like dear Novis here, on all things Indigenous Australia, or you're picking and choosing your moral stance.
As for the video. She made some great points, i loved her compassion, and her passion.....just a little bit of a shame that in the 7 minutes she didn't once show even a little bit of empathy towards the Palestinians in Gaza who are,...err...also suffering? Fair to say on a much larger scale. I'm sure it wasn't intentional though. Probably just forgot right!

There’s another reason she would be for the Jews over the Palestinians ;)

Yeah I’m also interested. What’s wrong with it? Planning on visiting next month.

Waiting for an explanation please.

Figure it out Paul.

You didn't ask about this comment below, figure it out?

Sunshine coast?? Why is the sunshine coast screwed? Carn mate. You claim you're a big 6foot 3 man. Surely you can stand by your comments and spell it out a little clearer as an anonymous poster on a website.
You commented that the sunshine coast is screwed straight underneath the links TBB posted about native title recognition on the Sunny Coast. What did you mean by that?

sometime around Easter, SA ignored the guff and just put a Voice in place;

Without the politics, it was basically a gentle and largely indifferent affair.

Look at Mt Warning Paul. If sympathetic wokers like you get their way we will need to get permission to mow our lawn lol ;)

Pretty disappointing attitude @ashsam but each to their own.
Also a shame you'll happily throw little barbs out there but won't actually stand up and write clearly what you really think. A bit hard to have a conversation when you won't put your real thoughts down.
Don't mind you calling me by name, but at least pop your own name to your posts so i can return the favour.
Great stuff @basesix.

They call him Bruce …..Brrruuuuuuce

Brucey! Cheers Supa. Not a bad bloke Bruce. Just disagree with some of his thoughts on this particular issue but all good.
Hope ya well Supa!!

haha, Robo the Bruce.

I prefer Brian ;)

SA has lost the plot

haha, yep, you got our number Brian, we won't be able to mow our lawns or anything..
had woofters since 1975, business and infrastructure all just fell over, and our beaches are full.. certainly can't get a 2 acre block near surf and a relaxed town for 50k..

(god I bet tassies feel a pang of nostalgic loss when SA is mentioned, now east-coast humpers thrum to their magnificent island. Sorry tassie bros and sistrs, SA is the new maligned paradise ; )

Maybe have a read of what it means Ashsam. It doesn’t change anything for freehold owners like me. (And you, if it happened in Coffs) Life will go on unchanged.
Just as it would have with the voice.
I had a mate, who is a bit conspiracy minded, send me something that Malcom Roberts tweeted about it. He was concerned about my property rights now. I wrote him a song… What are racist, moronic conspiracy theorist politicians good for? Absolutely nothing!

Be afraid, very afraid Brian. That native title was just part A. They’re heading south.

Exactly @seeds. I could tell he hadn't read it from the get go.

Native Title isn’t a knew thing either thanks to the admirable Mr Eddie Mabo’s efforts in the 90’s. The sky hasn’t fallen has it?

Yeah, i get the feeling the deeper issue ain't native title @seeds. Wink wink. ;)

If Jelly Flater has taught me anything… it’s ;);) lol

hahaha!

We will see, what did they try on in WA Paul for farmers or those with blocks over a certain size, short memory ;)

The new legislation demands landowners obtain permits before undertaking acts such as digging fences and planting trees on properties more than 1,100sqm.

Won't be good for your crop seeds they might want a cut lol ;)

Very funny brian. Very good.
No threat to me.
I think just the word Aboriginal stirs up a deep resentment in you.
Might b something worth exploring within?

....exploring within is a brian busey special ;)
- he's the head honcho of head up arse, got it all figured out haha

lol lolol lololol

;)

Sure Paul if you rent or have small Block no worries, look after yourself eh lol
No issues with that name to me, would say you have the issues of the past controlling your views.
Will leave it there you are just fishing for amo.

All good mate. Might not see eye to eye on this but good that yoy are up for backing yourself in. Hopefully this convo opens a new perspective for both of us. Thats what its all about. Have a good one.

No worries Paul.
I would give you my first name but there is a few on here that would go searching for me as know what city I live in, I have a website with my phone/email etc on it.
Don't want B6 or seeds tracking me down, they think they know enough about me now. lol ;)

Giggles do you really believe anyone would bother ? You’re a bit paranoid there mate and being 6’3” 90kg what have you said or done to make you believe anyone would come after you ? Reality is giggles, no offence , but you’re not that important .

Wasn't saying anyone would come after me personally supre lol, ;)
I meant they would search me up as find out who I am.
Wild imagination you got there, going troppo?

Wouldn't be hard to find you though lol ;)

Regards landrights...Mintabie opal township all given eviction notices with no appeal through courts...all gone now and no admittance to non aboriginals.
Retirees kicked out of homes, pretty sure no compensation paid.
Imagine what they must feel, anger, depression etc, ah well nothing to worry about...not!

“ , pretty sure no compensation paid.”

That seems extremely unlikely..

Pretty sure residents of Mintabie were yearly lease holders not owners.

I used to get sent up there for work. Long time ago. Non aboriginals were only there with permission. It was a completely dry place, no alcohol except for whites and had to be consumed in your residence. The elders controlled the place strictly. There were no social problems. Well no drunkenness or drugs t least. Nearest Police station was Coober Pedy. Last I heard a few years ago, it was out of control, and there was a police station.

Hi Chin, I was just reading a bit more. It appears in its latter years it was a centre for sly grog and drugs being spread to other dry communities too which lead to the Traditional Owners having an issue with the place.

I’ll watch those vids when I’ve got more time seeds, thanks. She was a funny old place, I wouldn’t call it a town, or the pub a pub either, but that was early 90’s. Open cut mining unlike Cooper Pedy. The miners needed two leases, one to scrape the top with a dozer, and the other to push the dirt onto, so miners would buddy up. Everybody was living out of each other’s pockets, anybody who struck it rich left immediately. Once they had scraped a few feet of ground off and got down to opal, one would drive the dozer, pushing a slim cut off the top while the other walked behind, literally picking up opal by hand. Once on the opal they would park a caravan next to the lease and sleep in it to protect the opal bearing ground from poachers, quite often with a rifle sticking out the window. I was repairing a dozer for a guy. I had to stay with him, no other accomodation. One day a Landcruiser showed up, a Chinese guy from Hong Kong got out, with a briefcase full of cash with two bodyguards. They went inside with the guy I was working for, did some business then left. The local indigenous kids would pick through the heap that had been pushed up, the miners allowed it. Sometimes they did Ok from it. Got sent up there several times, it was Ok, no issues, but you meet some very strange people in places like that. People on the run, or people who just can’t live in a normal society, not even little country towns. Shame to hear what’s happened since, it was a special place. Got a mate who delivers food from Adelaide to the APY lands every two weeks. Sometimes they won’t let him go if there’s trouble, too dangerous, which happens regularly.

Worth a watch. Sad times.
