Australian has such a culture of victimhood! Our aboriginal brothers and sisters look back over there shoulders and seem to proudly carry the “burden” of the past. I have only lived in Australia for 30 years, but all I see are activists leading and feeding the problem! If only they could understand there’s no “freedom” in being a victim!
Well stated. I agree with all the points, and the best was, "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us". The second best, was " non indigenous have the welcome to country... thrust upon them.."
And don't they look 'indigenous'! I'm sure most true aboriginals are accepting of the 'sorry' and have forgiven. It's these 'white with a spit of aboriginal ancestry (or none)' virtue signalling, activists that think they know what true aboriginals think and feel, that are the bane of our society.
What a mess we have pursued. Adam - literally, "son of the red Earth." So there are no races as we have a common ancestor. This means we are all related. When lies are given creedence that we are different and therefore enemies, devision and violence follow as history has shown. The Queen, a lady that has lived a life devoid of her own interests, sacrificially living to serve others is worth remembering. Perfect? No, but certainly showing a life given, rather than a life grasping. It is disappointing that so many focus on themselves than others. I think that a minute of respect is worth showing for a life lived well. Celebrate what is good and don't waste time on hatred and bitterness.
The AFL is the most woke and traitorous organization in Australia and I don't follow it any more.
I would not be surprised to see a round honouring pedophiles soon. Just another letter to the homosexual alphabet.
We need to encourage others to wake up and take the red pill so they can see the way these woke organizations are destroying the unity and morality of a once Christian based society.
They are trying to replace "Love one another" for "Hate one another".
This is the work of the CCP, WEF, UN, WHO (vaccine mandates), CBDC, etc. to divide and conquer every western nation so they can rule the world. They have also funded all other major sporting organizations, Dan Andrews, Bill Shorten, Malcolm Turnbull, Michael Photios, the universities, Greens, Teals and the ALP that we know of. They also put pressure on every Australian resident with Chinese links to be part of their 5th column to work against Australia and other western countries.
The reason many "progressives' and republicans in Australia give for dismantling the monarchy is that it is based on an archaic and out dated institution which has no place in the 21 st century.
Yet, these same people are the first ones to champion the preservation of the Australian Aboriginal culture- respect the elders, the "traditional" custodians they cry. Aboriginal culture MUST be taught in schools and generally at the expense of Anglo culture and history. We are even in the process of constitutionalising a "voice" in parliament seperate to the rest of us. And why?
Because the culture goes back millennium . If the British monarchy in it current form is less than 500 years old, how can it be outdated and irrelevant when these same people champion a culture much older and yet it isn't considered "out of date" and irrelevant. If singing the national anthem is considered an anathema why too is burning a few leaves and adding to our carbon footprint not also considered similarly an anachronism?
Cannot find your piece at Sky but get the gist of it. The constant victimhood and infantilising of aboriginal people is all so tiresome. Do these people want reconciliation or not? I have no particular beef with aboriginal people- they have the same opportunities as the rest of us and can do or be anything they like. They are Australians like the rest of us. It really is time to forgive and forget.
Thanks found. Heartily agree. The other thought that occurred to me was to wonder what the Queen had done to offend the Order of Perpetually Offended? Actually wondered what any of us have done?
I find the AWFL teams who refused to honour the passing of our Queen a most remarkable selfless woman, quite despicable.
It seems since the ‘Sorry Day’ with PM Rudd, tragically, this opened a portal of perpetual victimhood status from leftist & indigenous angry activists. Whereas as you alluded to James it should have been a day for the beginning of forgiveness and finally moving forward.
Anger, bitterness and resentment eat away at a person’s own soul and can poison the hearts and minds of others around, as is so evident today.
Isn’t it time to ‘Forgive’ the very distant past wrongs.
As the most multi-cultural nation on earth, we must stand united helping to achieve the very best for each person, to fulfil their hopes and dreams. 🇦🇺
Well said James. As someone who leads 2 organisations which include many indigenous people I have been saying this for years. Until Indigenous Australians forgive we will never have true reconciliation. Indigenous activists continually talk about inclusion then exclude. Often doing the things they claim are discriminatory based on blood lines. But hey I’m racist because I’m white, they are just fighting for their rights. Not!
Thank you James, once again. Jesus spoke of nation against nation and we are seeing these divisions growing. Aided and pushed by self-indulgent activists, we see it everywhere. Race, jabbed v unjabbed, politics, religion, it’s all the same spirit of division.
Heartily sick of all the whinging and whining from our indigenous people. Why did we even apologise for something that our generation had nothing to do with? They as a people seem to be way more equal than anyone else, with all their ‘benefits’, yet nothing is ever good enough 😡 Heaven help us all if this ridiculous ‘Voice’ gets through parliament 😱
This mob need a lesson in respect & manners!!
Perhaps some elecution lessons wouldn't go astray , although possibly a wasted effort.
Caitlin Morans language is as attractive as her tatts, NOT!!😤
I will not be standing for any welcome ceremony ever again.
Between Thorpe, Brandt, Mereen & Caitlin, they are so Un-Australian.. They dont deserve my respect!

I couldn’t agree more James
Your article on SkyNews was excellent, James!

Maybe they should check in with Patrick Dodson on this matter.

The 25 people who go to watch the games would have been dismayed.
