Would you be happy if Australia was colonized again where all aspects of our current culture were removed?
I wasn’t allowed to answer the first question but I’ll give this a go.
What part of your current culture has been removed?
Cricket can’t solve Australia Day conundrum - it’s not up to sports to make tough decisions for governments
I’d like to hear why the author detests Australia day, but I think it was ultimately a good thing for Aboriginals because they now have all the benefits of modern society. The Yes vote lost because the voice was a vote for an Aboriginal Politburo to advise the democratically elected government. Albo is a communist and he was a supporter of the PLO from the 80s. I’ve never voted for the LNP, but I’ll never vote for the Greens or Labor until they clean out the Antisemites.

I’m okay with it after hearing from Jacinta Price and Warren Mundine. The conditions the Aboriginals were living in at the time wasn’t good.

Yes, they used their superior weapons to colonize India and grew poppies that they gave to the Chinese to get them addicted to morphine.
Germany didn’t have many colonies, but I think they must have been better than the British.

The boss of Woolworths was apologizing for something or other.

Yes, but the Saxe-Coburg and Gothas were the children of Victoria.
I think George III was crazy.

Yes, the Treaty of Versailles was the travesty of justice that created WW2.
John Maynard Keynes warned them that if they blamed Germany for the war and make them pay the winners there would be a depression followed by a far greater war.
A history channel show on Charles De Gaulle said that his grandfather took him aside and told him to join the army because we are going to get our revenge for the Franco/Prussian war of 1871. France got their revenge with the help of the British Empire.

England ruled the waves. When the Spanish plundered the Aztecs and stole all their gold Francis Drake became an official pirate of Queen Elizabeth and claimed the gold for her.
The Anglo-Saxons are on the eastern side of the Celtic Line dividing Britain. The Celts are also in Brittany, France.

The French were in Botany Bay soon after the British and were the first to shoot and kill an Aboriginal.
The Germans were way behind the British at empire building, and I believe one of the reasons for WW1 was to take the German and Turkish colonies away from them. We got Papua New Guinea, the Rugby League nation.

The question I asked was directed at the author. He is unable or unwilling to answer. Like Linda Burney the author wouldn’t want to take on Jacinta Price and Warren Mundine.

So, you disagree, but are unable to make an argument.
What does a “Welcome to Country” mean to you?

So, it wasn’t written history, but history passed from the elders to the younger generation.

Does anachronistic logic stop you from saying that the day the British arrived was a great day for all Australians?
Warren Mundine and Jacinta Price argued that British settlement was a good thing. The Aboriginals at the time were living in the Stone Age and were a long way off their “Welcome to Country” which is anything but.
Aboriginals have made Rugby League the greatest game of them all. I remember Artie Beetson in 1966 when he was known as first half Artie. His love of meat pies was holding him back.

Are you writing some indigenous history books?

'We get plenty of unnecessary rule changes': Origin star bemused by NRL dropping dropout penalty

Then he took the best new recruits he could find and add them to the team.

Khawaja’s protest is a heartfelt gesture and I believe he would have said the same after October 7. Hopefully it will come to an end soon.

> federal politicians, have not given equivalence to the lives of Palestinians and Israelis
I think they have but you haven’t taken into account the hostages and the torture of children. It’s not about equivalence, it’s about fighting a terrorist organization that was created to kill Israelis. If only the Palestinians could stop teaching their children their insane hatred of Israelis.
'Double standards': Khawaja savages ICC hypocrisy in Instagram post as Cummins defends 'pretty vanilla' protest
> Since then, more than 20,000 Palestinians have been killed by the IDF,
So, you’re saying there should be a proportional response from Israel.
How do you evaluate a child being tortured in view of the parents?
How do you evaluate a hostage being used as shield for terrorists?
Hamas are hell bent on killing Israelis and have said they will not stop so why do you expect the IDF to have a ceasefire.

Yet two days later there was a crowd at the SOH yelling “Gas the Jews”. Labor member for Bankstown was there representing Albo who was once in the PLO.

As ExtraSundries said, he didn’t go in to bat for all the Israelis killed on October 7.

Why would the Palestinians expect a measured response from Israel. They would’ve known the Israelis would search for the hostages as well as Hamas soldiers. They want the Israelis to listen to those saying that’s enough.

So, you have sympathy for Hamas because they only deserved a measured response from Israel. What Hamas did to children was horrible and they recorded it for their home movies. They would’ve known the Israelis would search for the hostages as well as Hamas soldiers. They hid among their own people and hope the Israelis listen to those saying that’s enough.

I’ll give it another go but I don’t have much confidence in the censors.
