Note well the word trespassing.
I wonder if this gets “Voiced” in their Parliament?
Yes, and those asking questions about ‘trespassing’ are described as being out-of-control, ‘outraged locals [who] lash out’. The unjust bias is remarkably stupid.
Is anyone here at all surprised at this utterly predictable outcome?
The Aboriginal Industry is never satisfied and never will be.
How is the hitherto publicly-owned foreshore at Burrum Heads different to any other publicly-owned foreshore in the country?
Why anyone bothers with beaches has me puzzled. You always end up unpleasantly salty, or else mauled / stung/ bitten/ pissed on (see midges) or sun-roasted and wind-burned. Every sandwich lives up to it’s name!
If white fellas who have a Maltese ancestor….enough colour to pretend to be proud something or other…..have noticed this, and are stopping smart people from “enjoying” the flamin’ things, who cares? Only dills would be there in the first place, FFS!
Looks like the Butchulla people need some diversity training
For me, it’s more the ocean than the beach. Aborigines have claimed the waters as well? I don’t know how that works.
I hadn’t thought of them as swimmers/surfers.
Aborigines have positive buoyancy.
They’ve swum the shark infested Fraser Strait.
No surf at Burrum Heads, but they’re pretty good surfers too.
I suppose they need the ancestral tribal car park for their rainbow serpent Landcruisers.
In a similar vein, I’ve noticed certain ticketed events at state-owned venues in Melbourne are now offering free entry to ‘first nations’ and normal prices to everyone else. No doubt the venues see it as cheap virtue signalling, worth the small loss of income from the occasional turnstile-jumper, in the same way that supermarkets accept a certain loss through cheats in self-checkout, against the savings in staff costs.
Okay, swimming with sharks.
The chubby, non-buoyant ones pull into the “ancestral tribal car park”(9.25)
to enjoy boating and shucking oysters.
Because, ultimately, humans are fish.

No, Aborigines have Positive Buoyancy, that doesn’t change no matter how fat they are.
It was on the ABC a while ago.
Lazy Aborigines in the NT can’t be bothered using a boat to get from one island to another, so they wait for the right tide and swim across.
Then they’d be impatient Aborigines.
Still,
there’s just so much I did not know.

It was on the ABC a while ago.o⅔n T²heir ABC?
“Is it true, or did you hear it on Their ABC?”
Positively buoyant my arse. I, like my indigenous forbears have a denser bone structure than you whiteys. We sink. It’s why black people don’t inhabit the record books of swimming. When I go diving I don’t need weight belts, even with a wetsuit.
Now that’s progress 🙂

Looks like this guy missed out on the positive buoyancy https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/jul/18/gordon-copeland-inquest-begins-into-death-of-indigenous-man-who-drowned-after-being-followed-by-police
He fell 8 metres into a fast moving current at 1 in the morning and the cops just stood around and watched.
Yet you’re mocking this man in a vain attempt to win a cheap point on a blog.

Rather than beat around the bush, I’m calling you a liar straight up.
Ed, you need to have a word with your dealer. That’s not 5 MeO DMT you are tripping on.

Your point is stupid and you should stump up with some evidence that you didn’t make it up Ed. There’s 152 people whose deaths you appear to have been mocking.
Buccaneer
Dick Ed don’t do evidence. He writes fiction.
PS, Dick, when are you going to post the evidence for Curtin’s alleged treachery during WW 2?
You haven’t read your own link.
2 points:
#1. Stats weren’t broken down between Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders.
TSIs have Negative Buoyancy and are known to be non swimmers.
#2. Apart from the 0-4 age group, the vast majority of the over 15 deaths involved Alcohol, Drugs, Prescription medication, or a combination.
84% lived locally, only 40% in remote areas, gee that’s a lot of torres straight islanders than moved somewhere else then drowned. They must have a massive population too.
Now prove both that Aborigines have a positive buoyancy and Torres Straight islanders have a negative one.
Buccaneer
Dick Ed really needs to move to his true vocation, writing pot boiler fiction. It wouldn’t sell, but it would occupy what passes as his mind.
Ed, I really couldn’t care less about winning a point on an anonymous blog. The good faith contributors here are by and large looking to understand the world a little better. We all do that through good faith dialogue not trying to win fictional points. We all get the wrong end of the stick sometimes and it does one’s soul good to admit that both to yourself and to others.
That said, it does no one any good to keep holding that stick the wrong way around just to feel good about yourself. So if you can come up with your evidence about buoyancy, even if it’s a stupid abc article that we can all pillory. I’m happy to make amends for any hard feelings you might have about my previous postings.

Huh?
They must have a massive population too.
Huh?
You are aware that there are Torres Strait communities from Mackay thru to Cairns and TS Islanders living in Aboriginal Communities in Cape York?
You are aware that Torres Strait Islanders are Melanesians with some Polynesian admixture resulting from the Watson [ALP] Government deporting Tongans and Samoans to the Torres Strait Islands under the Alien Exclusion Act in 1906?
You are aware that both Melanesians and Polynesians have Negative Buoyancy, right?
You keep banging on about buoyancy, just saying huh, and providing nothing to back that up suggests you’re just bullshitting, prove you are not.
Ed my impression is that you have never had the opportunity to be anywhere near bush let alone beat near or around it.
My lived experience as a man with aboriginal heritage requires no acknowledgement or recognition from a person of suck limited cognitive ability
Pray tell regale us all of your in depth knowledge of Archimedes or maybe you are a world renowned scuba diver?
I’m thankful I didn’t bring up Aboriginal lifesavers.

Like this one Christine?
About buoyancy, which I don’t really understand – but I kinda thought women were supposed to be more buoyant, what with having breasts and all. At least that’s what the men claim when not wishing to be out of their depth in aqua sessions.
woohoo … ahahaha ha
And Franx invites – a male/female buoyancy comparison
Save us and preserve us
I don’t want the blame
