Rudd fails Native Australians.

Quote:
The Australian government has rejected a multi-million dollar compensation demand for Aboriginal children taken from their families, known as the 'stolen generation'.


Michael Schaeffer, lawyer for Stolen Generation, said indigenous children should take the fight for compensation from the government to the courts.

Too right they should.

Re: Rudd fails Native Australians.

Well, we would have to see who would win in the courts. I am not sure the aboriginals would.

Here is another article on the same subject: BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific | No payout for 'stolen' Aborigines

Re: Rudd fails Native Australians.

I am sure that their case is absolutely deserving of legal recognition and victory. One can't be certain that any court will give its verdict with absolute integrity, no.

Re: Rudd fails Native Australians.

hmmm. Its interesting. White people (now mostly in their sixties/seventies) raised in Queensland orphanages have been provided with counselling, and are eligible for compensation.

But then - I'm not sure the child immigrants received any compensation.

Re: Rudd fails Native Australians.

I think all those english-speaking white non-native Australians should leave territory of Australia which they temporary and illegally occupy. Plus they have to pay compensation to natives for the occupation and usage of their territory.

Russians are natives on territory of Russia, not like non-indean americans in america and non-aborigines australians.

Oh and who do they pay exactly? Do they did up the corpses and nail a money order payable to 'CASH' to their skulls?

Moscowians or Novgorodians? Territory of Russia is not the same as living areas of Russian kin. Fact the matter is that Russian expansion did not require to cross large sea-beds as you could expand territorial claims over land. Sphere of influence and -rule is not the same as territorial dominance.

Re: Rudd fails Native Australians.

Righto! We'll just go home.

Wherever that is.

So, let me know when Germany or Ireland (Either have an equal claim on my origin) are ready to welcome me back home.

Also, so just the english speakers? So the Arabian and Chinese non-english speakers can stay?

Don't you also have large minorities of Indians?
The whole idea that "white" folk from Australia should just pack up and leave is absurd. That kind of event would require person such as President Mugabe of Zimbabwe.

In Australia we have minoritie groups hailing from all around the world, and yes a large Indian minority.

MilleVanille's comments are disconnected from reality. How far exactly would we go back on his idea of his? Will we seperate the Anglo from the Saxon in England, bundling off the Saxons back to Europe?

The issue of repartations are always touchy, and require a cool head, logic and foresight. Blind-eyed mass segregation and deportation are not just a stupid 'solution' for this issue, it is a stupid 'solution' to anything.

So, basically there should be a sudden, massive flow of people into various nations from down under. And only aboriginals would stay.. what about half-Breeds and mixed blood?

You know, I cannot really say much to this, due to the history of my kin.

Exactly. MilleVanille however said all non-native english speakers.

Interesting, as the rate of english speaking aboriginals exceeds that of many migrant groups.

So in his grand plan for Australia, there would be a vast, empty country consisting of under half a million native australians mixed with another half million non-english speakers. At least half the nation would be able to talk to each other!
