Here’s a quick question for those who follow Aboriginal affairs: What has received more attention in the past month—the story of the 5 year old Aboriginal boy raped in North Queensland, or changing the name of Coon Cheese because it is supposedly racist?

It's been hilarious watching the snowflakes on social media talk about being heart broken because of the referendum loss. If it's heartbreak they want, then visit a remote community and see the real suffering.

Telling Aboriginal people that they can't move forward until white Australia acknowledge the past is a sure way to hold them back.

I just watched the Q&A segment with Neralda Jacobs again. She states: “The reason why it’s still happening is that the colonial patriarchy want to keep us oppressed so that they can maintain the power.” Here is my response.

Possibly the only thing sadder than the shockingly high rates of violence in Aboriginal communities is those milking a living from it.

6 years ago today, this cartoon by Bill Leak was published in The Australian. The woke were more 'outraged' by the cartoon, than by the shockingly high rate of child neglect in Aboriginal communities.

I am pretty sure the protesting against Australia, colonisation, etc., won't continue tomorrow. I'm pretty sure also that the neglect of children and violence in places like Alice Springs won't end tomorrow.

I find it amusing that among those Indigenous Australians who speak ill of the 'colony' and colonialism, they have practically no real experience of a pre-colonial existence. The 'colony' is all they have known yet they claim to be deprived of a pre-colonial life.

I'm sitting in the Qantas lounge and I see on the departure board "Ayres Rock (Uluru)" and I was deeply unoffended. I wonder how long before the blactivists insist on banning the name 'Ayers Rock'?

To answer the question "Do Aboriginal people need the proposed parliamentary Voice?" you need to first ask "Are Aboriginal people without a voice?" I would think the answer is no.

I am a Queenslander, male, heterosexual, with Aboriginal and English ancestry. But I do not build my identity or sense of self-worth on any of these attributes. They are parts of who I am, but none of them alone define who I am. If I were to do that, then I'd be separate to you.

To the offendarati claiming that Aboriginal people in 2021 are suffering from colonisation, transgenerational trauma, racism, and Coon cheese, you are a huge insult to the many happy Aboriginal Australians who get on with life. Go sulk elsewhere.

We are told that celebrating Australia Day on 26 January is not inclusive. Well actually, dates neither include nor exclude people. Individuals do that themselves. If you want to exclude yourself from celebrating Australia Day, go for it.

Blactivists thought Rudd's apology would make a difference; it didn't. They thought an Indigenous person as Minister for Indigenous affairs would make a difference; it didn't. Now they believe the Uluru statement will make a difference. I personally don't believe it will.

I don't say “I’m a proud ... man” like my Indigenous peers do. Not because I'm ashamed, but because I recognise my Aboriginal ancestry the same way I recognise me English ancestry, gender/sex, Queenslander status, heterosexuality, and all the other parts/influences I never chose.

I checked the SBS FB page about Lidia Thorpe. Predictably, they closed off comments. Had this have been a story about a white politician working in Aboriginal affairs who made a mistake, I think comments would be a allowed. Promotion of some voices, and suppression of others.
