Didn't he also appoint himself Minister for Women's Issues?

Good post, except for 1 thing- it is not only the abuses perpetrated against Indigenous Australians a long time ago- there are still people alive who were used as guinea pigs for nuclear testing at Maralinga, or at least their children are, there are still people alive who had to take the Queensland government to court for not paying them an equal wage, and for putting wages into trust funds that people couldnt access, somewhere between 30 to 300 Indigenous Australians were massacred less than 100 years ago in the NT- grandparents of people still living today.
There are many reasons while Indigenous Australians experience the conditions that many do, and many of those reasons are the direct result of actions and policies affected by Australian governments (at all levels) and Australian people. That is why there are now specific schemes and efforts to redress the disadvantage.
The land that is now known as Australia was called by various names by the Indigenous peoples who lived there for thousands of years before the arrival of Europeans. These names varied between different language groups and regions. The Indigenous peoples had a deep spiritual connection to the land and had a name for every feature of the land.Now when First Fleet duly arrived on 26 Jan 1788 what nation did they invade. They were not Australian as Australians did not exist then as Australia was proclaimed a Nation 26 Jan 1949. The inhabitants then of the Great Southern land were not a Nation. They did not have a Head of State, nor a parliament , a defence force to defend against an Invasion. So who have we invaded ?.

That pretty much sums up your knowledge about and attitude towards Indigenous Australians.Now when First Fleet duly arrived on 26 Jan 1788 what nation did they invade.

Reckon they grumble about it when not pissed alsoSo anyway, back you claiming they get all this money and favours from the government. Can you detail them any of them? Or are you just going to keep throwing out ignorant racist *smile* that you and your liked (small)minded mates grumble about when pissed?
I was giving him the benefit of the doubtReckon they grumble about it when not pissed also
Congratulations. It's a Melbourne Cup field but this might be the worst take on anything this forum has ever seen.Now when First Fleet duly arrived on 26 Jan 1788 what nation did they invade.

Yeah, dunno. The "When will Bernie go !!" thread has most spots in the starting line up.Congratulations. It's a Melbourne Cup field but this might be the worst take on anything this forum has ever seen.
Great thought. That also exonerates all the European colonisations in Africa as well. It's all the fault of those pesky natives that they didn't organise themselves properly.Now when First Fleet duly arrived on 26 Jan 1788 what nation did they invade.

So you say that until our First Nations brothers and sisters land was invaded "They did not have a Head of State, nor a parliament , a defence force to defend against an Invasion".Now when First Fleet duly arrived on 26 Jan 1788 what nation did they invade.

The fact Tigaman got the date Australia became Australia wrong, yet that is still the best part of the post really says something.Great thought. That also exonerates all the European colonisations in Africa as well. It's all the fault of those pesky natives that they didn't organise themselves properly.
Btw 26/1/1949 was the date from which people could declare themselves legally as Australian citizens as distinct from British subjects. Australia was federated in 1/1/1901 which is when we became a nation called the Commonwealth of Australia.

I stayed out of that thread.Yeah, dunno. The "When will Bernie go !!" thread has most spots in the starting line up.
Yeah, there was some poor stuff in the Goodes thread. But some excellent posting too, as in this. You have quite rightly deemed PRE to be a reliable representation of public opinion.Not even in the hottest 100.
Take a scroll through Adam Goodes, i think youlle find a top 10 in a few pages
TigerGollywog died on that hill in a hail of racism
Tigaman is trolling.

With no head of State, or Parliament, that would explain why they lived a blissful life fishing, hunting and procreating. ****, I would've been sh!tty too if I was one of them.
Where did I say that.Are you seriously trying to claim that the raising of the Union Jack in 1788 was not an invasion?

Where did I say that.
Perhaps your question was meant for Tigaman and not tigerman.You see this thing: "?" it is called a question mark.
It was a question.
