@DieHarder of course it is. Open your eyes. Btw its 4 men, not that facts matter too much currently.

@DieHarder I have no doubt that they believe that. It doesnt make it true though despite their high level ranking.

@cochise the footballers wont be the ones doing it, their combined IQ wont get the point across succinctly. I listen mainly to the ABC. Aboriginal issues are usually front and center. They do get the airtime they deserve and public opinion has already pushed government into acting.

@DieHarder I think I get the drift of your attempted argument which is saying something as your thoughts are pretty scattered. My point is not invalid as proven by this reply.

@cochise you cant blame people for wanting a bit of escapism from constant browbeating over political issues. Its not malicious. We all have a long list of stuff to worry about. Constantly kowtowing to the demands of the same groups gets on peoples nerves. I sincerely believe a lot of people...

@Dan_Blanco yes they can because the use of that term has been bastardised and expanded to the point that it now lacks impact. People label each other that way these days upon simple disagreement.

As there has been an entire gender covering all cultures. They are not the only ones treated poorly. Its up to their leaders to use the resources and facilities/programs on offer to mend their own communities. I saw a documentary last year on sugar. A town in the NT had the highest consumption...

@gallagher I have heard a recent one for May the 8th...(maaate) that I would be embarrassed by lol.

It certainly is a difficult question. We have to be careful though not to lose the culture and identity that has been built since then. They are a part of that as are everyone else who has chosen to make Australia home. I have been to many an Australian day celebration attended by a wide...

@cochise originally they werent but they have had multiple decades now of encouragement, funding and support to do just that. Now my knowledge does not extend to answering why it hasnt worked as well with them as it has with a hundred other cultures, as I suspect yours doesnt either, suffice to...

@cochise really? Those that ran for their lives from tyranny and war, got gouged by human traffickers, locked up here for years after risking their lives and those of their children on the high seas...they are the ones who havent had it as hard?

@happy_tiger what have you done? Just the facts please. Not some long winded story you have made up or stolen from someone else.

@cochise well what more can we do? They have subsidised education, healthcare, accomodation and careers to name a few. It is easier, bar those in the most remote communities, for them to live day to day than a decent percentage of non indigenous individuals. Yet these other groups thrive. They...

@cochise it doesnt matter. Those that need to have acute knowledge are working on this all year round.

@Kev as for adressing deeper issues, thats what the hundreds of billions of dollars spent through government programmes is aiding. No one is sitting on their hands.

@cochise I didnt say that they will be, I said we are looking into it...the conversation is being held. These guys arent pointing anything out that the vast majority dont already know.

@cochise we can and we are.

@cochise yes but not because of lack of knowledge nor effort. Maybe these millionaire sportsmen could be doing more? Sulking about the anthem and the Australian day date wont change a thing. All it will achieve is more division within communities.

@happy_tiger Americans in particular confuse me. They seem destined to eat themselves such is the divide between the left and the right over there.

@Dan_Blanco by all means.
