Keep it straight, keep it in focus, and just remember sometimes you have to give the punters just a little bit of what they want to hear, to keep them interested. But don't stop talking. Aboriginal Australians need more like you, as long as you don't lose the plot.
    Respectfully Bob, your post is condescending. I’m one of the few not losing the point.
    I’m not going to sugar coat it to make people feel better.

    You will attract more with sugar than vinegar. As I said you are on a crusade and you probably know what happened there. Just offering advice , don't be too proud to take it.
    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

    From the arch-provocateur himself. ...looking for advice Bob? likewise, don’t be too proud. When you’ve actually been there let me know. Cheers.

    I recommend reading The Other Side of the Frontier by Henry Reynolds, which is a history of the 150 year frontier wars from the indigenous side.

    There's an excellent column about this very topic on the Guardian Australia website but I'm not going to link to it because it includes references to politicians. Check it yourself if interested.
    One point it makes is Mungo Man is only one of many sets of indigenous remains held in various places around the country, and I assume there would be others in the UK.
    They deserve to be returned to a respectful home, I think.

    Ancestry.com.au have a DNA kit, we are probably all related to Mungo man in some way if we pay and do the test . LOL

    Everyone is related to everyone else if we go back far enough. For example, we are probably all related to Adolf Hitler by at least one cell. Bit unsettling really.
