Haven't seen any tall white hoods and burning crosses yet.... I'll bet it's more a bunch of that union I won't mention enjoying their triple time day off destroying the very civilisation who gave them triple time. The same morons who sold their car building mates' jobs to Thailand.
I just spent two days with my Father in Law, former POW on 'that' railway, burying his daughter, my wife. Do you reckon he'd be standing with these clowns. He, and all his mates, fought precisely so that the left scourge would not win. At the same time, the Unions were sabotaging and stealing from the wharves. You pick your sides in this. I have picked mine.
As for Invasion Day, there was no "Nation" here to invade. There were a bunch of tribal communities fighting each other for territory, or, more likely, hunting. Has anyone considered how the "Indigenous" people would have fared if Cortez had arrived here? La Perouse got here a little late as well, but how would it have gone if HE had got here first?
Someone was going to arrive, it was just a matter of time. At least, we still have some indigenous people to worry about. Not sure that would be the case if the Spanish, French, Belgians or Germans had arrived first.
I have seen first hand the tragedy of the Indigenous, which is more than any of those clowns on the front page have done, and I would dearly like to make it right for them. Proper, decent care may do that. A date on a calendar won't. Their ancestors had no concept of a calendar, and neither do the the families on the Todd river.
