Bad bad move Kruddy ........ i didnt steal anything from them so why should MY taxation be paid into housing that will be trashed and booze that will flow down a urinal after filtering through some indigenous kidney. Sorry ??? It$ u$ that will be $orry!!!

Thanks everyone, for your comments, I have stayed away as wanted to hear what everyone had to say....

I do have my own views, obviously, and agree with Tony on many aspects....I hope however, that this a way forward, can't be wrong surely? And that all the PM says he will do, he will do....and that there are not repercussions as someone earlier stated.

If no one ever says sorry to anything, and tries to make changes, things will just stay the same....I say Good On Yer Kevin Rudd for at least giving it a go.....

No child should ever be dragged away from their parents, just because they are different. Abuse yes, but just because....no!

And I am not saying that I agree with what Barnardo's did in bringing the kids over to Australia and putting them onto sheep farms and being abused...of course not....it happened within my family too....but I am talking about what someone is trying to do right now to alter things.

Hi Roxanne,
(re:Shaz, you say, If I may quote you.
"That's right, its not just the aborigines that drink, but these people don't even attempt to control their habit
Going up north a few years ago, I was disgusted and appalled at the way that our aborigines behaved, and I might add, the state that they left the towns beautiful park in, and being a little naive at a young age, and watching the way that a white shopkeeper treated an aboriginal lady, I soon learnt to mind my own business and keep my mouth shut regarding them"

Are you saying that all Aborigines are lazy and dirty??
Don't you think this is rather cruel, and totally unjust!)

Nope, definitely not saying that, just reiterating what I witnessed years ago, didnt intend this to turn into a slinging match, so best that I heed my words and keep my mouth closed,
Was about to ask you a question... but best I let it go

Although I agree wholeheartily with Ronalds' comment, because Im afraid, thats what does happen

Cheers
Shaz

Shaz,I apologise, If I have misunderstood.

By all means ask me a question.
Roxanne

Being Ozzie
and lived in Territory for 20 years
we called each other black fella,white fella & yellow fella in the 60's,70's & 80's not being derogative

But being called an abbo is an insult
My girlfriend said by any name you wish but hated the word abbo

and what the media dishes out is half bullsh**t
this topic, like many others can be exstremely heated
My husband 's friend Canadian came over for a visit

been around the world a time or two and OZ cities
came stayed with us

first subject.....oh no ,here we go again , how the papers over there depicted how we neglect our aboriginals ( what about your Indians) on the defensive straight away

not true they are looked after more so than down and out whites .I know I didn't get a fortnightly cheque to encourage me to go to school

anyway humans are humans what ever colour

I personally was apprehensive of gov saying sorry history is history terrible that it maybe
