        We are giving the Aboriginals forty billion dollars a year to help their pain. I do not know what else we can do.

        LNP giving $65b to big business for them to squirrel it off to tax havens.... Perhaps if they let the Indigenous people decide what is better for themselves rather than 'whitey' gobbling up the funds in Admin there might be some equality in value for money!

        BT just expressed surprise that he couldn’t accurately diagnose Zac Merrett’s concussion from the commentary box. It might look easy but it takes a special kind of talent to be so stupid.

        The land was acquired legally & bought from the various authorities throughout history, as in Australia. Here are some copies of land deeds, the earliest dating to 1677, interesting to note these deeds relate to land in the Cape colony where NO indigenous people were residentpic.twitter.com/p0T82lCg40

        Ive heard that whities leaving South Africa are not allowed to take any money with them - so will we be using taxpayer funds to buy farms equipment etc. Also what is so different between a boer wanting an easier life and an Afghani trying to keep his head on his shoulders.
