Read this today, seems pretty appropriate.

’Study both sides of EVERYTHING, no matter how personally uncomfortable.  If someone tells you not to study the other side of your beliefs, that is a HUGE RED FLAG that means you should do exactly that.

The ABC for a while now has been broadcasting on what aboriginal land they are broadcasting from. My niece’s partner works for the transport dept, every Monday morning they have a meeting and before the meeting starts, they have to deliver an Acknowledgement of Country.

It's getting completely ludicrous now, Acknowledgements, Welcome to Countries, Three Flags everywhere, dual naming of  places or just changing them, ABC saying they are coming from country rather than a city name, NAIDOC week, Reconciliation Week, Sorry Day, Smoking Ceremonies to open an envelope, Australia Day now just morphing into another Sorry Day, Aboriginal Serviceman singled out at ANZAC Day in contravention of egalitarian ethos of the war dead. Australian War Memorial to have a display on the "Frontier Wars", goes on and on.

Been to the US, Canada you don't so this massive over cooking of Native Americanism in North America, heck I didn't even see it in South Africa.

Spot on Baz. We as a society have done a complete about face on this from virtually no acknowledgment at all to bending over backwards and verging on the ridiculous just to appease the loony left as I see no real improvement in aboriginal health, welfare, education, DV, incarceration rates or any other key indicator due to these silly initiatives by white fellas.

Spot on Baz

And the sad thing is, this generation and the last one doesn’t really care.  

I see Bomber Beasley, the gravy king has gone to his next gig, straight from WA governor to Boss of the AWM and was already planning a Frontier War exhibition, despite it being in conflict with the AWMs founding constitution.

Baz: as you know, in Canada, they still have statues of Sir Arthur Currie, the commander of the Canadian Expedionary Corps in the great war.-- may it continue

I see Fremantle are now the WALLYups . entirely appropriate I guess.

Heard on radio news that polling is showing around 65% of those polled want to see more detail about the "Voice" before making up their minds. Unless Elbows changes tack, it destined to fail. Then again, maybe he's deliberately doing it so it does fails and he can blame the Libs and come up smelling like roses and not have to deal with a Voice!!             
I also heard that the vote only needs a simple majority of votes and states? I always thought it had to be 2/3?

SS - It's a majority, in a majority of the States, 

My Tip is Victoria and Tasmania will vote for it, it will struggle to get up in WA and Qld, will be close in SA and NSW. 

I have no doubt at all that his and Labor and skating over the detail as 1. They have no idea how it will work and how much power it will have, and 2. If they did reveal the full extent of it, it would tank big time.

I am hearing the first year set up costs will start at $11 Million just in Admin, Travel and basic election of members.
