Let's fact check Greens Leader Adam Bandt speech in the Senate today.
The Greens Leader spoke of the raine of Queen Elizabeth II,not Queen Victoria who was a Dragon.
Mr Bandt spoke of QEIi appalling treatment of Indigionus Australians
.Hmmm QEII visited Au 16 times the last being 2011.One lightning visit in 1983 for the Black Wednesday bushfires in Victoria.
13 of thoes 16 visits she went to the Red Centre.And spent time with Indigionus Australians.Embracing there Art and Culture.And taught White Australia a lot about how to embrace the Indigionus population.Thats a bone the Greens Leader can't point at QEII.
Disappointing to hear such an I'll informed speech by the Greens Leader.Pretty disappointing that some research didn't go into his speech or is it just Republican beatup??

Good posts, all. Uness it embraces the  national traditions, the ALP will lose the next election.

Well FMD I couldn't believe my eyes and ears so I had to play it back 3 or 4 times. Just watching a recording of tonight's ABC News where they were showing those in parliament and the senate speaking out about past wrongs by British colonists. Lynda Burney said what was predictable, some white bleached short haired Greenie put on a pathetic attempt to sound like she's crying then the one I had to replay 3 or 4 times said what most of us say and think in private among those we know.

An Aboriginal woman, yes an Aboriginal coalition senator said "We can be grateful that in fact it was the British that settled here before the many other possible colonists".

Good on you for having the courage to say it young lady but be prepared for the tribes who will come after you for saying it. Her name is Jacinta Nampijinpa Price if anyone is interested.
