Good point. Same with the voice - could 2 separate parliamentary forces, each pulling their own way, be anything but increasingly divisive?

Correction: Sadie is mopping the floor WITH IT in front of all the others.

James, you call these drongos "elites"? More and more often we see group displays of these various new culture flags. But where is our national flag? Sadie, the cleaning lady, is mopping the floor in front of all these others!!!

We only get to hear the history they want us to hear.

The truth is embarrassing for the liars.

As Kamal used to say, "Why can't we all just get along with each other?"

Terrific post! You summed it up in a nutshell, James. Pushing minority groups in our faces and down our throats wore out its welcome years ago. I’m so over the aboriginal expectations of special exclusive treatment. By aboriginal I mean the elitist racist white city dwellers who woke up one morning and realised how profitable it would be to suddenly declare themselves aboriginal. What a disgusting rort. And so obvious. Grinning Albo will go down in history as being the literally stupid PM who divided Australia into the them and us and created an angry racist society. What is wrong with this man and those like him that they can’t see the obvious!?

Excellent call James! I so long for leadership in our nation rather then wall to wall symbolism. While I am at it, I don's like the continual use of the word 'reconciliation'. It rings so many echos of South Africa a few decades back. I am not condoning apartheid at all. There was, I would suggest a need for the 'truth and reconciliation' initiative there in South Africa, but we are, or were, so far beyond that until the present way of symbolism hit our flagpoles.

Thanks, James. I just can't go past the fact that God created mankind and there are no races other than humans. We are all one, (Adam, red man) created from the dirt so why should we be divided?

So sick of seeing and hearing divisiveness of this sort, especially the constant talk of a 60K year old culture. Rubbish! As a human being we all share a common ancestry and culture dating back millions of years. Culture constantly changes and evolves. How about developing and embracing a common Australian culture that we can ALL revel in, beginning with our pride in one flag, one people and one nation.

Sport has become a political football.

Perhaps we should call them Australia United?

Don't worry about the fact that each aboriginal nation will soon have their own flags and we will have 300 different flags being flown and who knows how many different ceremonies. Then there will be the payments for ceremonies, dancers, flags, rent, reparations, entrance fees, TV and radio broadcast fees, etc.

It's a bit like the Voice. First Labor will change our constitution to make it a racist one and then the Voice will tell us what we need to sign to make a treaty, then they will have a truth telling to change our history and lastly they will tell us how much we owe each individual because their ancestors were here before us. No mention of the tall white people who were here before them and taught them how to make all their high tech gear like the boomerang, woomera, didgeridoo, bush medicines, etc.

Most of our mob don't want any of it. We were happy with the old flag. Part of it was British history and we get a lot from them like our laws. Part of it was our stars that they had never seen before. That is how you have two peoples in one flag and make one united nation.

Since they came here we have had peace between the tribes. Before that we used to kill each other over words that were spoken in anger. We were afraid of the evil spirits until they told us about God and His Son dying for our sins to protect us from the demons. We don't want to go back to those bad old times before they came. Life was hard and we had too many deaths.

The response that every Australian should have to this, is to make a deliberate decision NOT to attend any more of these women's soccer events, for reasons based purely on principle. The same should go for Target and Big W. In response to the fact that both these major retail stores are promoting paedophilia and underage sex through the sale of that vile book, people should be making a deliberate decision not to ever buy from either of these two stores. Go woke, go broke - This would work effectively to shut major organisations up, when it comes to promoting a Communist/Marxist agenda through the use of these vile tactics.

But, unfortunately, people will continue to attend the women's soccer and continue to shop at Big W and Target. It seems to me that Australians have become brain-dead and absent of any sense of morality. This is largely thanks to mainstream media, of course - thanks mainstream media, for the part you play in ruining our country.

I wonder how long it will take and how much destruction must take place before Australia wakes up. Australians are asleep at the wheel and are oblivious to the fact that we are about to go over the edge of a cliff!

Benjamin Franklin once said: "Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."

I am pretty sure our indigenous brothers and sisters aren’t the worlds biggest fans of “European Visitors” bringing their customs and practices to Their land….

Oh how times have changed.

It would appear that "The Voice" is coming in surrepticously whether we have a referendum or not. I attended the Queensland Symphony Orchestra concert last Saturday night as one of my grand-daughters was playing the flute in it. They had the stupid welcome to country speech before it started.. Everywhere you go it is there. I also heard of an old Pastor who has retired from her church looking for a new one to attend in Brisband and she went to a Baptist one and was welcomed to country!!!! She walked out. This is so beyond a joke! What about the people who came to Australia as convicts? Have they had an apology from the British Government? Are they waving flags? I would havethought we were better than this but obviously not! These people wwho are bowing to the WEF need to stand up and be accountable

So much to said! 🇦🇺

On another note, I’d love to be in Perth for the Church and State gig but alas, this Queenslander has work. My first impression however, was a familiar sigh at the sight of 9 blokes and only 1 Maryka. So, combing the country for qualified people with something to say about Church and Sate resulted in 1 Maryka! A little one-dimensional for more than half the population but I’m sure she’ll be great and will be a refreshing voice to the mix (if she’s not taking minutes or serving morning tea 🤦🏼‍♀️). I’d be there just to hear your take James - so take courage, go well, be you and continue keeping insanity at bay and the principles of Christianity central.

Does it matter how many male or female speakers there are? Is that not immaterial to the point at hand? Surely the only thing that matters is the content of their speech. I also don't like the role of the secretary or those serving morning tea to be run down and belittled. Relatively humble roles behind the scenes such as these, are crucial.

I think it is very important to remember that the humble, loving, selfless actions of a woman serving others, such as through morning tea or taking minutes, can often speak louder, and more effectively than any other voice. And that is always refreshing.

"For we are one & not so free", wake-up Australia.

Matthew 24 has something to say about where the world is heading right now. Especially as it relates to the calculated division being created based on ethnicity, or nation vs nation...

"Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains.

Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved."

The drive to divide on race is all part of the days we find ourselves in.

Normal ain't coming back. Jesus is. Best be ready.

Well said Alex, Normal definitely isn't coming back. Jesus sure is. We must be ready to stand strong and fight. Sadly it's not going to get any easier from here.
