   Executives (excitedly) talking:
   If people want to see Aboriginal people dancing in the dirt, kicking up dust ….. okay … tastes vary. But don’t pretend it’s something special.
   It’s primitive.

   I’m so fed up with it.
   If their traditions are so worthy, we would see it for ourselves. There’d be no need for this almighty push and relentless gush
   to try to convince the voters.

   Cometh Their Net Zero Hour and we’ll all be reduced to being primitives, “kicking up dust”.

   Cultural difference circa 1788:-

   Aboriginal

   European

   Even more pronounced today between those left to their own devices.

   Like many others, I would move heaven and earth to help these backward people make something of themselves, as did our forebears and their successors with the likes of David Unaipon (of $50 note renown), Neville Bonner, Sir Douglas Nicholls, Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, her mother, and Evonne Goolagong, et al.

   But not at the point of a Constitutional gun in the hands of the malevolent Mr Albanese and his woke political, corporate and academic colleagues.

   Those named and countless others past and present assimilated themselves into Australian culture and its manifold benefits, not least those of good food, clothing, shelter and education.

   Remote governments and bureaucracies are incapable of solving the problem. They cannot even distribute taxpayers’ money equitably to improve the lot of those most in need; else, the problem of outback camps would long ago have been resolved.

   We ought not to be lining the pockets of Aboriginal elite, in one case reputedly to enable multiple home ownership and transport between them by helicopter hired at $1,400 per hour. The contrast between this and those in outback camps is shameful, to say the least.
