If the White Feller didn't come to Aus the Aboriginals would be still living in a shanty in the bush or in a tree, No roads, no cars,no boats to go Fishing only hunting with a spear , No Government Hand out Money.etc. You mean they just managed to get by for 40,000 yrs! Yep got it.. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the pom "insult", perhaps it's now because the British are still stuck in that wasteland called Britain and the Australians are now "free". (They aren't of course, but if it triggers you, then job done ????). As for the whole indigenous thing... I can't see the point. My kids were shocked at my position on this until I explained it to them. If I were an aboriginal and the only betterment for my people was this name change and some sort of "acknowledgement" of my people being around before the poms turned up before sporting events etc - I'd be furious. they need real help and real change - not platitudes. Perhaps it will lead to more for them in the future. You having a laugh . You obviously never been here. Tonnes of Aussies here. Never heard one call it a wasteland .... they love it. And not triggered.....???? Edited January 2, 2021 by goldenbrwn1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard the expression ' potato face' Getting back on topic, well overdue for the first peoples to be recognised in the Oz Constitution You probably never heard the term pomegranate face used but it is thought to be the origin of the term POM. The term is an outdated cliche and generally used by tedious bores who don't know any foreigners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don,t know of many complex social institutions around that era,perhaps you do? Nobody's "mob" wwas doing much of anything 40,000 years ago. That is sort of the point. Even the earliest cave paintings do not date much beyond 40,000 years ago. Sober up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LomSak27 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 What about the original, has historical revisionism erased them forever? When gallant Cook from Albion sail'd,To trace wide oceans o'er,True British courage bore him on,Til he landed on our shore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
