   Reminds of a time I was talking to a Big Issue seller. The summer holiday season was approaching and we were discussing our holiday plans. “I’ll do what I always do” he told me. Wondering what homeless/long term unemployed people do on their holidays I asked, “What’s that?” He nonchalantly replied “scuba diving for abalone”.

   I have no problem with ‘cultural fishing rights’ if the indigene is standing on a bark canoe throwing a spear.

   Even then, however… because Australia has no truly fearsome megafauna, there isn’t much to respect about the gutless hunting of lovely old dugongs and turtles.

   I am sick and tired of Aboriginals being entitled to rights that no one else is.
   If they must have them then they should be restricted to when only using pre-1788 technology, concepts and facilities.
   The Voice is the last straw.

   But did he have his hands up crying “don’t shoot”?

   whoops, wrong country!

   The biggest cohort of racially prejudiced people I have ever met are city type Australian Aboriginals.

   Can’t help idly wondering how the Aboriginals will fare under the long arm of Beijing … after the ALP have sold everything off to Belt & Trousers.
