"Welcome To Country" Speeches .......... Gone Too Far Now ??

[Freshwater]

It's none of your business what he said, he can say what he likes, it's his land.

It’s not his land anymore than it’s your land or my land. There are no ‘special’ citizens that are mystically more important than others. Everyone is equal before the law, as it should be.

Were Aboriginal Australians equal before the law in 1788 when the Brits marched in and imposed it? That's where that argument falls apart they were forcibly disposed and given no rights in the first place, Australia wasn't built equally.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

It won't have gone too far until Gina et al give half their money to aboriginal charities seeing as they made their money from the land.

Anyway

Perhaps you should do some investigation into how much support Aboriginals do receive from Gina Rinehart.

No they weren’t. It was nowhere near what it is now then, but still was the most fair and progressive system in the world then. English Common Law was always and still is the most fair and progressive of all the known systems there is. That is why there is and can be reconciliation under it now. Nothing was ever perfect in history. What we do from now is important. Equality before the law should always be the goal, that is peak progress. Equality of outcomes is a retrogressive concept to rectify past wrongs in a backwards way.

 

[Reg Grundy35]

Says who??? the people who could lose out by changing it. anyone else?

Perhaps you should do some investigation into how much pain that family has caused Aboriginals

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

I don't have a problem with it, nor does it affect my sense of land ownership....we use it daily in my organization, my only concern is the apathy that develops from its overuse in every meeting which breeds tokenism.

She's part of the most racist family in Australia mate.

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

You reckon there isnt one single other family in australia who is more racist than Gina's?

 

[Gough]

You reckon there isnt one single other family in australia who is more racist than Gina's?

Not one who've had the power to influence the agenda like the Rinehart's have.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

Her dad called for sterilisation of Aboriginal women and Gina has never condemned that statement so yes.
She's a full on racist.
