It all counts
I can see an Aboriginal becoming PM long before a Muslim ever will. And they have next to no chance. Not in our lifetimes unless a drastic change of perception occurs.
if a politician stands as a "Muslim" candidate of course he will not win. however, if he stands inline with his party and offers the people what they need, then a Muslim has just as much chances as a Chinese or a indian.I can see an Aboriginal becoming PM long before a Muslim ever will.

lets be srs.
most of the people in the bigger cities like myself grow up never meeting an aboriginal in their lives. if i remember correctly, the first time i met an aboriginal was when i was walking from Victoria park at USYD to redfern station. there were a few homeless aboriginals around and i gave them some money. what more can i do?
90% of Australians grow up viewing aboriginals as the stereotype associated to them. poor, cheap, petrol sniffers, paint sniffers, and abo bogan etc etc. lets face it, most aboriginals are like that.
but is it my problem? no. is it Katie's problem?no. its up to the aboriginal Australians to get up for themselves and help close the gap between them and the rest of mainland australia. that's the best way to fight for injustice (if you feel there is injustice). no1 is going to fight for you, im certainly not unless it directly effects me. until aboriginals let go of the ever so "white man took over dream time" or whatever the fuck the majority of Australians will just snob you.
oh, when i went to paki, they thought abos were sub human. pakis feel that the British intervention truly liberated and brought abos to civilization. but meh, pakis/indian have a inferior complex to the white man.
but your white. its your faultlol its fucking my problem when they rip windscreen wipers off my car and smash windows and shit lol.
Theoretically yes but I assume their religion will be targeted by the media and it will be revealed eventually. Australians rightly or wrongly will not vote in a Muslim leader in our lifetime.if a politician stands as a "Muslim" candidate of course he will not win. however, if he stands inline with his party and offers the people what they need, then a Muslim has just as much chances as a Chinese or a indian.
however, he wont be lebo.
im not saying that he/she should hide their religion.Theoretically yes but I assume their religion will be targeted by the media and it will be revealed eventually. Australians rightly or wrongly will not vote in a Muslim leader in our lifetime.
The British had no right to claim TERRA NULLIUS here in Australia because THEY DIDN'T OWN LAND, the LAND OWNED THEM/THE LAND IS THE OWNER, THEY ARE THE PROPERTY OF THE LAND. So much for your knowledge of Aboriginal culture...I had to learn about aboriginals all through highschool and the shit the abbo's in my school give me for being asian is just really unnecessary. I'm going somewhere. I'm trying. And they're giving me shit for it.
Also, its rascist that the school has made a room specifiaclly for aboriginal students to hang out in, complete with computers, phone, couches and a fridge. There's a dance group they get paid if they participate. And I don't go to a school full of them. They just hang out in big groups, and the majority of them don't even look aboriginal; they're 1/3 or less so they just claim the benefits. (but of course there are ones that look 100%)
I am not a rascist person. I love different cultures and races. But seriously, no aboriginal has even tried to go up for school captain even. Everybody's scared of them, so nobody's holding them back. So why should I feel sorry for them?
All other cultures built some kind of stable house. Are these people the only ones that havn't? And we're also told that the aboriginals are beleived to be at least 200 000 years old. When brittain arrived in New Zealand they couldn't claim Terranalius because the Maori's had towns and their laws written down. The Aboriginals just passed theirs through word of mouth. What the shit?! Pretty much every country has been invaded. Get the FUCK over it. Without white people, you wouldn't have houses.
God now I'm angry.
This is what years of bullying does to a usually nice and happy little girl.
.I really need to get SMS alerts when threads like these pop up.
You answered all of your questions with the second line. As long as Aboriginals continue with a "them and us" mentality, (i.e. referring to a police officer as "us"), we'll never feel the need to include you.
As soon as Aboriginals start taking accountability for their own actions, instead of blaming "us".
An Aborigine will never be Prime Minister. So long as Australian of the Year Aboriginals refer to Australia Day as "invasion day". Give us somebody worth voting for, somebody who won't milk the race card.
Mostly, stop drinking metho/sniffing glue/stealing shit/whinging all the time, and you might be looked upon as people and not buffoons.
Nobody owned the land. The abos "inhabited" it, but they didn't lay claim to it. They were dumb dumb enough not to have a sense of ownership, or a legal system that extended beyond spearing each other in the thigh.The British had no right to claim TERRA NULLIUS here in Australia because THEY DIDN'T OWN LAND, the LAND OWNED THEM/THE LAND IS THE OWNER, THEY ARE THE PROPERTY OF THE LAND.

They moved around a lot. Their lifestyle meant that houses weren't a viable option! It should be no suprise to you that they didn't have houses, and it wasn't a bad thing to not have a house in their culture, it only is in ours and any other way of life that revolves around a permanent settlement/residence.
That's not true.All other cultures built some kind of stable house.
NoAre these people the only ones that havn't?
Not all aborigines were nomadic. It's a hugely diverse culture. Some lived in fixed settlements and built dwellings and practiced farming for crops.Without white people, you wouldn't have houses
The the west in the middle ages had a legal system consisted of hanging, decapitation, *tieing someone to a woooden stake, with hay around it, then lighting the hay on fire, burning the person on the stake to death*.Nobody owned the land.

Pearson for President. President, like in the Indian system. Just the sort of symbolic thing Rudd would do.Noel Pearson would make a great leader
Appointed GG/President is more likely. Rudd's final legacy?
repped!look, its because rangas are a dying breed and we need something to make fun of.
They were punishments. I suggest you go and have a read about how developed laws in England were, as far back as the 1400s even. Sure, they were half retarded back then too. But you may be suprised to see how much of our common law is based on laws that predate the colonisation of Australia.The the west in the middle ages had a legal system consisted of hanging, decapitation, *tieing someone to a woooden stake, with hay around it, then lighting the hay on fire, burning the person on the stake to death*.
What about at the time of 1788, people charged with a crime were sentenced to go away on a ship to the unknown (little was known about Australia at the time).
So you are saying they (aborigines) had no concept of innocence?They were punishments. I suggest you go and have a read about how developed laws in England were, as far back as the 1400s even.

At least we had trials and juries. I'm fairly sure these speds just stabbed each other.
