SubscriberThat is good idea, from our point of view. I'm sure if you read the small contribution I posted about Aboriginal culture, you will begin to see how difficult it is for Europeans to legislate such things as an Aboriginal parliament , as part of our political structure. For a start , who will be the leader of that parliament? [ I may have this word wrong, but I'm sure you know what I mean]An initiated tribal elder? From which clan? Would that represent all of our indigenous people? Someone from an Aboriginal community? Some one who has assimilated into " our " society? Would you take a representative from each group? This Nation will never move forward until we , as a collective, find those answers.Originally Posted by DiscoMick
We pride ourselves on our egalitarianism , mateship, and standing firm under adversity. BUT, we will never be one Australia, under the Southern Cross, without finding a way to meld together all our ethnic diversity, free of hate, racial divide, and all that goes with that. I'm thinking we should join with NZ, and have them run our country.Not much about Mungo Man, but it must be said.
I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food
A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

SubscriberWho do they represent? edit. I agree with you , the people should decide. Can you see the absolute can of worms coming to that decision. We need some one with the wisdom of Solomon. Any ideas?

SubscriberSo do I now who mungo man is no I don't do I care who he is no I don't I think we are all Australians regardless of where we came from or our ancestors came from do we need another shrine,museums or anything else to show all how different we are I personally would prefer to just call us Australian and not put different racers and caltures in social boxes just my thoughts.

The wisdom of Solomon won't work, it's too closely related to Catholicism and the western cultural presumptive.

SubscriberYes, of course. Which brings us to the Aboriginal culture is advanced, and the Western culture is Developing. Can you imagine the privileged in the Gentlemen's club in London, choking on their gin & tonic, over that.

Some of the privileged here are bad enough.
...comparatively 'Australian' culture (as distinct from Aboriginal cultures) is probably the least advanced (being the youngest) on the planet...we have a lot to learn from the oldest cultures on the planet.

SubscriberI wish I had said that. So true. Here's something. Australian culture is deeper than the media , who control our shallow culture, reports on. However, we , for the most part, pin our flag on sports. It may be no coincidence that our best performed and respected sports people are women. It may be time for a female PM. Worth a try. And I have to say, any people who base their culture on a Barry Mackenzie movie, have either a finely developed sense of humour, or are destined to be the butt of jokes throughout Asia.
