Absolutely nothing wrong with Facebook now they've welcomed "45" back into the fold.

A Kiwi and an Aussie are fishing one afternoon and have a couple of cold beers. After a while the Aussie says to the Kiwi, "If I was to sneak over to your house and made wild passionate love to your wife while you were at work, and she got pregnant and had a baby, would that make us related?" The Kiwi after a great deal of thought, says, "I don't know about related, but it sure would make us even."

Dont go sticking your chin out too far Earnest, JS a half baked pom and DM and maybe a few other poms. Reflect back to the Boer wars where the almighty England massacred and starved to death probably 30,000 men women and children in the concentration camps, and the native Africans, killed by the thousands under the English flag.
Hmm, you can't blame Jack for Aboriginal massacres because he's a half-baked Pom. I know he irritates people now and again but you can't lay that at his door too. English flag or the Union flag? Are you aware of the difference?

I accept that the British committed atrocities in the the Empire's name, obviously nothing to be proud of. I'm saying that white Australia can't accept it played a part too; white settlers in Australia - they're your collective descendants.

So is Australia Day inclusive? Do the indigenous people celebrate it too?

Cool Bob.

1. Kings Cross Youth refuge was pre internet, but Rev Bill Crews from Oddessy house was involved, we are connected still on LinkedIn, he can verify this.

2. I have already been challenged by others on this site in the past. I provided a pic of me in RFS uniform in action, can easily do again.

3. I have heaps of pics of me distributing food with my mate at Ban Nong Sa-at, so easily proven.

4. Quite a few years since I was VP at Kariong Neighbourhood Centre but Liesl Tesch , member for Gosford can verify this. I have her letter thanking me for my Community Service on my computer to verify my involvement, I am sure Liesl will verify that if I ask her. Better still, The Hon John Della Bosca (OAM) former Minister for eduction and health in NSW can verify the RFS and Neighbourhood centre.

So put your money where your mouth is. A bet, $5000 Australian dollars if my statement is false. OK. I could do with the $5000 as my divorce last year was a tad expensive.

So photo proof, Australia's one time father of the year, a former minister of the crown, and a member of the NSW parliament should suffice? No?

Udon Map to look at evidence and Adjudiicate, hopefully if he agrees, but I am sure we can find somebody else if he does not want to be involved.

So put your money where your mouth is.

What the foook is land of the wurundjeri, speak English, where is this place. And the video shows demonstrators against Australia Day declaring it was an invasion on Australia by the Brits 'its a war' they said, led by that filthy scum piece of nonsense lydia thorpe a half cast whose father is white.

Go back to your class room teacher and put both sides of the case, not just the agitators declaring war in Australia.

"Over $30 billion a year for 460,000 people is hopelessly disproportionate to the whites in Australia. A quick sum says Aboriginal people receive $47,000 per head of population as opposed to less than $22,000 per head for the rest of us".

Maybe worth thinking about these figures a bit more deeply.

Aboriginals, particularly in remote communities are over represented as being in the poorest section of our nation. The government spends more on poor people with welfare than it does on those who are better off. So is the higher spending per capita because they are aboriginal, or because they are poor?

The real test is does the government spend less on poor whites than they do on poor blacks?

I do know the difference of the flags. And do accept our ancestors did atrocious killings to the aboriginal people, but to my knowledge the outright unlawful killings have not occurred for at least 150yrs or maybe more. So maybe 5, 6 or 7 generations ago. I should not be held accountable for what happened all those years ago and neither should any other Australian.

The lefty marjamlew put a link up with organisers and the greens party of Australia Day declaring its a war in Australia. What BS, the only war is in their skulls. And your bbc link also had the knumbskills protesting this rubbish.

If you look at other news coverings, many and I mean many indigenous people celebrated Australia Day.

Would you accept 100 years ago ie our grandparents generation?

I have the links if you are interested.

If you are going to accuse someone of being a numbskull, at least learn to spell the insult correctly.

Would welcome any links you have for this. 👍

Provide the link for 100 yrs ago.
As for spelling, go foook yourself.
Coverings go and look yourself.
Why should you have any say in anything Australian, your only a half backed pom-Aussie, have you got citizenship for Oz. If so put a copy up, no photostating.

Your turn, Sport.

Foook?

Not sure what a half backed Aussie is - can you expand on that? Tommy Raudonikis perhaps. Or even Ted Whitten maybe?

I am sure our many Pommy members would be interested in my 50% membership of the 10 pound club, given my well documented history of taking the piss from that cohort.

Wrap the flag around yourself Sport, and have a good night's sleep.
