    Perhaps we could ask Mal if he'd like us to hum the tune...
    Or maybe ask Anthony Mundine for an opinion...
    I feel that AAF is blatantly overdone in Australia..however thats not the point...
    Its a no-win situation...maybe we could have a trumpeter play AAF....
    Irrespective of what happens, it seems that some-one will have to go to him and say
    "Is that alright Mal......."
    Which seems to me to be blatant appeasement....

    I discriminate against anyone that's white?!

    You mean, I'm white and I'm discriminating against anybody that's white?! That's ridiculous!!

    You should try less ranting and try more substance.

    And twisting the word racism without referring to and utilising the dictionary definition is pretty useless.

    I'm white and racist against whites according to you. Now that's particularly dumb.

    I have always felt our anthem particularly British and not really reflective of our Australian nature, more a view of Australia from a pompous European slant.

    Also, I haven’t seen Big Mal up here helping sort out our remote communities issues. In fact I haven’t heard him speak a word of it, but then he has more important issues to take up. “ I hate this sh!t song, let’s have a conversation about changing it”. Mal don’t forget the kids!

    Easy fix, change the Song and only play it on the 27th of June, because that’s as good as any other day. Move on! There are little tackers, poor little buggers, that need us, and need our attention NOW.

    You said women get into parliament "..simply because of their tits."

    Yeah, the statement is derogatory and demeaning.

    If you don't like being pulled up for making derogatory and demeaning comments about women, maybe don't make them.

    That would work.

    Also, you're off topic.

    Oh the big gotta ya moment you were hoping for… I think the words of a very close friend far better states the problem here.
    For clarification, Yes my friend is indigenous…

    However, this deserves repeating…
    Is it??? Explain how the disclosure of your skin colour is definitive evidence that you are not??? Explain how this one statement shows the fact you supported a racist comment is not racist because your WHITE???

    I am guessing you’re going to try your far greater comprehension of the English language you continue to demand you have. You might want to read the definition VERY slowly.

    So once you show how this one statement shows you cannot be racist I will show you many who do just what you claim to be “particularly dumb”. I will even show you were you have considerable amount of people who discriminate against their own species.

    But again, that does not change the fact you supported racism.

    But I must thank you, I have never discerned a comment due to one’s nationality, ethnicity or education for the express reason that that imposes MY standards upon the world. But I have continued to point out how some, You and your buddies, are pretenders who claim to be one thing while demean the world to act in a fashion you will not yourself.

    Your big 'gotta ya' moment, seems to have gotten you.

    Thank you for your admission being a pretender…

    Repetition is amazing. Now one more thing to this. I noticed you completely ignored the points raised over policy that is designed to address indigenous issues. Policies the communities demanded and asked for to simply try point out your corruptive behaviour is anything other than what it is.

    So, one more chance. Since you rail against the intervention in the NT, what is your answer to addressing the issues raised by Indigenous Australia itself???

    Since you want to cut the cashless card, in total disregards of those communities demanding it, what is YOUR policy to address the issues raised???

    And well since this admission, just why do you think you have the right to decide what should be done in indigenous affairs over the indigenous themselves???

    Yeah, I AM demeaning and derogatory, but then again I am simply returning serve.

    The hypocrisy is loud and proud from those who want to condescend and demand their particular form of arrogance is superior to others while claiming all should bow to it while they do nothing themselves.

    It just makes me laugh…

    Hey, Garry, you don't have hegemony over the world. At least, not yet.

    I am tired and bored with your aggressive posturing. Now you go on like... "just why do you think you have the right to decide what should be done... blah blah..."

    That is projection. I am not ****ing deciding anything. I am saying WHAT I THINK. Yeah, just like you say WHAT YOU THINK. Imagine that?!!!

    In your opening posts you were literally frothing to the tune that Australia Day MUST be kept as it is. No decision-making there on your part, eh, Garry? No countenance/no thought for Indigenous who may want the date changed? Too bad for them?

    My 'corruptive behaviour'? Seriously, Garry, get a grip. You're over the top and projecting all over the place.

    I cannot decipher this post. But no worries. Believe what you believe. Just as others do.

    So you cannot answer the questions then. All you want to do is object to current policy that attempts to address the issues raised and provide nothing as alternative.



    Since it was you who decided that these policies are wrong I would have thought you had alternative since you claim your against the issues but apparently the world should live by your ideal while you glow in the glory of ignorance...




    I don't have the right to decide what should be done, but I also will not rail with lies to oppose things when there is no alternative provided. Unlike you.



    Projection??? Nah, you told the world what should happen in indigenous affairs and that you have a bias of white prejudice to decide it, above the wishes and demands of the indiginous themselves. That was no projection.

    So you cannot answer the points. I gather you suddenly realise just how stupid it is to support racism and then claim it is not racism because you decide it is not. Interesting that you defend legislation that condemns comment that could be offensive yet you post those same offenses. I guess the law should not apply to you either.


    No worries others can, that is what counts. the fact others see the bias your comments come from and the lengths you will go through to remain ignorant to the realities of the world.



    But hey you cannot comprehend that... LOL
