What language will be ‘taught’?
How it started.
How it ends…
With the advances in Trickonometry of late, it’s been suggested that the “first nations” invented everything about 22,517 years ago which, obviously, includes the public (and private) school system.
The first of the 14 schools will be named “Waredabuggerawee”.
Hat tip to Rita…
A new school in the delightfully named Lollypop Creek in Werribee will no longer be called Lollypop High (as slated) but Walcom Ngarrwa Secondary College.
Reader W.A. Reid’s comment in today’s Quadrant:
https://quadrant.org.au/magazine/2023/08-online/the-synthetic-reinvention-of-indigenous-culture/
The Victorian School of Hard Knocks can be renamed to “Wadjagunnadoaboudit”.
If Shiva Naipaul (cited by me above), West Indian of Indian descent or not, was still alive and made similar comments today, he would be hanged, drawn and quartered.
Or at least cancelled and immediately deported.
The funny and ironic thing is, the last I heard (and this may have changed), Andrews was going to have Maroondah Hospital in Melbourne’s outer eastern suburbs renamed after the late Queen.
Australian aborigines are today a lost tribe of India
As it’s anecdote o’clock somewhere in the world…when I was a pupil at Willoughby Public School in Sydney, 1964-67, all the school houses had Aboriginal names. I thought it was wonderful and exotic.
Now they are named for whitey Australian poets.
That’s progress for you.
It’s more dangeld to those tightly controlled aboriginal corporations that have a stranglehold on Victoria.
It would be wonderful to see where all that this and that money goes.
Will it help ‘close the gap’?
I don’t think so.
The cost of new signals and new uniforms etc.
Meh.
Dan’s got billions to burn.
The country already has so many places with Aboriginal names; never heard anyone object.
The activists will never be satisfied.
A greedy, ungrateful lot; most of them in the top paddocks, women bordering on massive.
At least they’re not naming them after Daniel Andrews and Brett Sutton…yet. The funny thing is that even in the darkest days of 19th century colonialism, the settler culture was interested in preserving indigenous place names. I’ve seen numerous instances in the Victorian Government Gazette for the 1800s where the indigenous place name is gazetted over the colloquial settler place name.
Another thing I’ve noticed recently is public buildings in Melbourne suddenly sticking up ‘welcome’ signs at their front gates, where they never had them before, just so that they can stick up an equally prominent ‘wominjeka’ sign.
They’re driving people into homeschooling. And of course private schools when they can find one of them that’s not too woke.
The Telegraph Wonders Why Private Schools Are Popular (2 Jul)
I saw the Daily Tele article yesterday, but since it’s paywalled I’ve put up the above link instead. Which pretty much says what I said.

Catholic Prelate Boasts of Greenest World Youth Day Ever (1 Aug)
I suspect that means Catholic schools are going to get worse. Which will be sad.

Don’t these Catholic doofuses even realise that “climate change” is the newest world religion, worshipped by fanatics and uncritical thinkers, and which could eventually destroy Catholicism, even Christianity, one way or another?
(BTW, I am not saying that all Catholics are “doofuses” – far from it – just the climate fruitcakes and woke types.)
