Not really. I am very strong on the Asylum seekers debate, but I wouldn't call that racist. I simply have very very strong views on it.
Mr.Heuristic is an immigrant (from UK) now Australian ( not flag waving here ?) immigrant from the UK when I was a teenager Sorry to re-invoke this - an old post / thread - but that's me - an Australian through and through !!!! The talk of (UK members) referring to us Aussies - as convict stock etc, humors me ( why the put down guys?) Settlement 200+ years ago was a true struggle for these "unwilling" cross continent victims of "bread stealing " crimes ?? I subscribe to the Kevin Rudds SORRY to the Aboriginal people - to the original custodians of this great land we live upon. Many languages of this land have been lost due to white fella annihilation practices and forces beyond their control ? They - (Aboriginals) looked after it (Australia) for 80,000 years until the white man came along 200 + years ago My best mate is a true Australian historian ( he educated me ) in the major mis-truths of our (Australian) history here !!!!! It is a pity the UK does not get the same info as we have here - then maybe .... you could think in another way ??? We will always be convict stock (SCUM) to some UK bigots - but were proud of it - ROFL !!!!! It is terrible Aboriginal culture has become a political issue to white Australians (It embarrasses me ) I am white UK born ??? They my mates (Aboriginals) are of this land - This issue is beyond ownership It is an issue of who did the best job for the last 80,000 years + ??? I vote in confidence for the Australian - "colloquially" termed Abbo's" they deserve a better deal in terms of respect ? Only a Labor government will give you a break here - fellow Australians !!!! ???? Thank you for listening to my rant on UK vs AUS viewpoint on this topic
Native Aboriginals - The True Australians (nurture people) deserve much more respect than they get . . . The term Abbo's is derogatory - excuse my my terms of reference here !!!!! The Australian native aboriginals deserve better than what they get - ! ! ! Gov't-Intervention is many faceted ideal . . . Let's get it right people of Australia For their future .... be positive .... is the only way to go - support Aboriginal rights
We immigrant ... (imports) have to live with the Aboriginal native keepers of the land we live upon) You / we gotta show some sort of respect to your 80,000 year old neighbors !!!! I think we modern (white) Australians can learn something from our early inhabitants .... Nuff said !!!
