Great stuff TBB and cheers for the share @seeds.
Also, today all day Triple J is actually listenable. Playing First Nations only music to celebrate the start of NAIDOC week. Good chance to discover some super talented lesser known Australian music.
WOW! thanks udo heard rumours from ppl who do cooberpeedy did'nt realise it's that bad!!!
Been busy as but still read forum when i can.
Wonder if the naidoc "elites" want to know about this travesty? maybe organise a big cleanup and an apology to the "colonists" who they kicked out (legally, allegedly).
What a disgrace.
In celebration of NAIDOC week, this is a great little vid, jolly good one might even say!
Pretty sure everyone could come away with something from watching this.
A good week to move closer together, not further apart.
Give it a minute or two to get through the standard procedural intro.
Ripple Effect washes over the swellnet crew stoking a new wave of love around our wide brown land!
Wow great stuff TBB!! Will be adding Ripple Effect to my spotify playlist. Super chill. They even had some surf in that first clip...in the top end!

Wow thats a heavy story @seeds. Thanks for bringing it to light.
I wonder how many more of these stories go untold. Who's around to re tell them.
If not for the doll..
Still trip out on the 'black line' in Tasmania. Hilarious how obviously ineffective it was. But fark, what a horrific plan of straight out genocide. By us. Our system.
When i see what's happening in Alice and the towns posted above right now, i see this as the effect of the above mentioned causes.
This is what happens when you don't give something back that was taken...and i don't mean land.
This is the effect of saying NO to a voice. Of trampling all over Uluru against the wishes of the custodians...as a statement "i'm Australian too". I could go on and on. These are just simpleton examples. We all know it's much deeper.
Nup. We have it all wrong.
It's hard not to write without some barbs and venom in each line. Its not to antagonize those with opposing voices. I don't actually know what it's for. What's this thread even for. Dunno. But it's still going strong so it must mean something. Which is epic. Progress. A voice...of sorts...regardless of the vote.
Cheers @seeds and all who endure against the grain. Some pretty big legends have contributed here for a greater good.

The Black War.
Tasmania.
Know your history.
", the Aborigines
were ‘massacred without mercy’. ‘At this period’, he wrote, ‘it was common
for parties of the civilized portion of society to scour the bush, and falling in
with the tracks of the natives, during the night to follow them to their place of
encampment, where they were slaughtered in cold blood’ and that the effect of
martial law, which was in operation from November 1828 to February 1832, ‘was
to destroy, within twelve months after its publication, more than two thirds of
these wild creatures, who by degrees dwindled away till their populous tribes
were swept from the face of the earth’"
" In The Last of the Tasmanians, published
in 1870, he furnished in some cases enough clues for the reader to identify the
informant, the date of the specific incident and the place where it happened. In
all he mentioned 16 instances of massacre, with a combined loss of at least 300
Aboriginal lives. If any reader was in doubt that massacre was widely used to
dispose of hundreds of Aborigines in the Black War, then Bonwick’s account
appeared to offer more than enough evidence to dispel it."
"The massacre debate today is a microcosm of the wider debate about the
impact of settler colonialism on indigenous peoples and in particular about
the humanity of the Tasmanian Aborigines. Above all it reflects the reluctance
of many white Australians even today, to come to terms with incontrovertible
evidence about our violent past and to seek reconciliation with Aboriginal
survivors. "

@ southernraw Thought of you last night as the wife and I watched High Ground on Netflix last night. Made in 2021 and set in Arnhem Land and Kakadu in 1919, starring Simon Baker and Jack Thompson. Should be compulsory viewing for all Australian history courses. Amazing scenery and insight into Aboriginal culture.
An authentic portrayal of tribal and mission life and the injustices following the brutal slaughter of a young boys tribe by NT cops, all over a stolen cow.
As the misses said, who could blame them for hating our guts, we found ourselves cheering when the white bastards got their just deserts, which sadly probably didn't happen much in real life. Cheers.
Hi @olddog. Thanks heaps for the recommendation and for thinking of me. Much appreciated. I'll definitely check it out soon. Look forward to it.
Agreed wholeheartedly with your last paragraph.
Hope you're well and staying warm through this cold snap!

The site of the massacre in the film is Gunlom Falls.
It was in Crocodile Dundee movie also.
The upper pool has amazing views but is currently closed by traditional owners because parks and wildlife damaged a sacred site when upgrading the track.
When we used to camp there in the eighties it was known as UDP Falls because it used to be the camp for Uranium Deposits Prospecting company. There was a uranium mine nearby.
Amazing place.
Also some great actors from both sides. It's on Stan too.
Noice.

Some kinda hectic dreamtime karma hitting the imperialist 'mother country' right now.
My heart bleeds, it really does for the 'invasion' taking place. Ironic the timing in the same year the conquered were denied a voice in one of her colonies.
Damn!
You can thank Elbo, divided the country with the voice, people have had enough of being blamed for something they didn't do.
Backlashed.
Sorry can't hear you from all the way down there ashsam.
Australia became divided when the British started slaughtering innocent people.
If you think I’m joking, make the effort to read ‘Blood On The Wattle’, if you’re not crying by the second chapter, you’re not human. AW
That’ll divide any country.
And AW, someone actually worth responding to, it should be noted Albo didn't divide the country.
It wasn't albo. It was agreed upon to be a bi partisan movement until spudhead decided to play dirty and make it an us against them issue party issue and turn aussies against each other.
It was put forward for unity not division...but dirty politics got in the way.
Ho hum old ground.
If we want to blame anyone for the ‘so called’ division as exclaimed by Ashsam, just look to us modern day Australians, it us, nobody else, just us.
Dirty politics on repeat play. I’m sick of that record . AW
Agreed mate @AW.
All of it.
Yep nothing to do with us now.
Southernraw. Hi fella.
Hope you’re doing fine. Sorry, I forgot to ask you.
Stick to your morals and ethics, the steam roller of life will soon flatten the morons.
Aboriginal people are patient, they’ve had to be all their life.
Vincent Lingiari stated that in ‘From Little Things Big Things Grow’.
From the first incursion of British power into Australia, right up until now, Australia has been chewed up at such a pace that not even PacMan would be able to keep up the chomping.
We just chew up and spit out everything, people and our once enviable environment.AW
@ ashsam The Voice was never about blaming anyone for anything.
It’s got a whole lot to do with us now.
Please elaborate and convince me otherwise. AW
I don't need to convince anyone. 60% of Australians didn't agree.
Cheers AW.
I know i shouldn't..., but theres a guilty pleasure in watching gutterdwelling poms hitting the streets and rioting, destroying their own towns because they fear an invasion.
I guess they haven't made the connection yet. Probably never will.
There's a karma at play and it's got nothing to do with albo! hahaha......goes alot further back than that.
You get what you ask for in this life and so it seems, the ones that came before it.
We had our chance, we didn't take it, so i'd imagine that nature and whatever other forces are at play will balance it out instead.
Cheers AW.
@ashsam this is worth a read to get a different perspective.
https://anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/amet.13223
Well, Brexit was a complete failure and disaster.
And we all know of the very genesis behind its motive.
I’ll leave it up to others to decide.
Slapped them all in the face, economically.
What do you expect from a thug breeding ground. AW
lol ;) American??
Wokeness at it's best not surprised ;)
https://anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/amet.13194
Just don't say 'woke'. It's the dumbest of dumb epithets. It's always painted the speaker as an idiot, and frankly, it's testing my patience.
What do you suggest instead, Stu? Yes, it's a bit annoying, but in its defence nobody is in doubt what you mean.
Got it. No more “woke.” We’ll just stick to calling things “dumb” and leave it at that.
Ha ha ha...no. I agree that some responses called 'woke' are dumb and ill-conceived but as a catch-all term it's kinda lost all meaning. It's become such a generalisation that it invites lazy thinking.
It's an easy way to degrade an argument when someone is showing genuine empathy for a minority group and is trying to push for constructive ideas that might benefit that group. Calling that person woke straight away undermines the goodwill that someone is showing and also kills off any momentum towards solutions. Lazy is an understatement. It's a sad sign of the times and it's the easiest way for individuals to withdraw and silence a discussion on a topic that they'll be loud and opinionated about but have little actual knowledge of.
And good to see the trash got taken out this morning. Good riddance.
Good for you @Burls, nearly there, just add "I'm" in front of "dumb" and maybe "but" after it and you can skip having to use that word ever again.
And on the subject of "dumb", I've spent/wasted a part of my day following the Musk/Trump live twitter interview. Lost some brain cells myself wading through that. A highlight /?lowlight of the conversation here:
"In an attack that you can expect to hear repeated by Republicans quite a lot over the next three months, Donald Trump assailed Kamala Harris as “a San Francisco liberal” who “destroyed” California.
“She’s going to be worse than him,” Trump said, referring to Joe Biden.
“She is a San Francisco liberal who destroyed San Francisco, and then as attorney general, she destroyed California,” he then said of Harris, who was the city’s district attorney before becoming the state’s prosecutor.
But, as he often does, the former president overreached, implying that the sun shined over the famously sunny state no longer. “We’re talking about the sun. There’s nothing better than California sun. She has destroyed that,” Trump said
Oh, well, I guess Kamala has fucked the '28 Olympics four years out, and the solar system.
Sad.
and
"Dumb"
