red750 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Indigenous activist Robbie Thorpe leads Camp Sovereignty at Kings Domain, an area where the rains of some aborigines have been buried and the area is controlled by the group. They now want all of King's Domain, which includes the Shrine of Remembrance, and the Sidney Myer Music Bowl, and have it renamed to remove all connection to the "criminal Windsor family'. Leading the demands is Robbie Thorpe's neice, Lydia Thorpe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomadpete Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Oops, I rather think this demand is about 200 years too late. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man emu Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Let them have it. And we'll take back all access to the Public Purse and public utilities for everyone of them who wants to live on it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Tuncks Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I agree OME. If they want reparations, let them be billed for all the largess they have reaped over the last 200 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty_d Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 This is beaten up by the RWNJ press as they know a good dog whistle when they see one. Just like any vocal minority there's probably only a very few indigenous people who make sovereignty demands, but the merde-och press and their cronies play it up to scare the gullible that they're comin' for your land. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 IS THAT the TRUTH Or did you read it in the Merdoch Press?. Waste of time and effort to read the stuff. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetrack Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 The Maoris are up in arms, too, just because the new NZ Govt wants them to attend school at a better rate. There's only a third of Maori kids at school, at any one time. That's worse than the Abo's here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacesailor Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I see the " woke " people are trying to change the mame of " Settlers walk " . New signs erected, " great West walk " . From local history, the walk was from Parramatta ( 2nd settlement) To " government farm Toongabbie "( 3rd settlement ) . Soon we will have to call Parra . " Burramatta or Burramattagal or even Bramada ". spacesailor 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post old man emu Posted February 7 Popular Post Share Posted February 7 Oh, the sexual life of the camel Is stranger than anyone thinks. In moments of amorous passion, He frequently buggers the Sphinx. But the Sphinx's posterior passage Is clogged with the sands of the Nile, Which accounts for the hump on the camel, And the Sphinx's inscrutable smile. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Tuncks Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I'm for the idea of "tough love" to make abo kids go to school. Mind you, it would be expensive to reward the good kids with jobs one day, but I reckon this is reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Tuncks Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 (edited) PS... didya hear about the new chum at the foreign legion? He asked an old hand what they did for sex.... " well old Ali brings a bunch of camels twice a week" he was told " as a matter of fact I can hear him coming now" and he runs off... " why the hurry? " says the new guy ... "surely you don't want an ugly one," says the runner over his shoulder. Edited March 2 by Bruce Tuncks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty_d Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I heard it was the new lieutenant who asked quietly what they did for sex. The sarge said "Well, there's a camel..." and the lieutenant raced off to get a step ladder. After he was done the sarge finished his sentence "...which the lads ride in to the nearest town to visit the brothel!" 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 The original one is quite long but you have the essence of it. . Do you know why the Camel is called the "Ship of the Desert"? Geez we are getting decadent. Nev 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
