Senior Labor politician claiming to be Aboriginal could ‘very well be wrong’ 

Agreed 100%

Good question.

99% whitey.

Discarded as superfluous!

I've asked my aboriginal mates about this kind of thing. Predominantly white people claiming to be aboriginal. Their point of view on it all would upset a lot of people hahah

If it is proven that he's not of aboriginal origin then he should be sacked and sent to prison with all his political perks cancelled

Hmm maybe everyone living in Australia should identify as indigenous? That will test the taxpayers coffers! 💰😂

@@multioptioned I've had aboriginals agree that I was aboriginal without ANY racial background!

@@multioptioned Well after 6 generations I certainly should!!

I'm going for it. Aboriginal, from now on. If the "Voice" gets up, you'll all be paying reparations for your invasion, and paying rent for your stolen land! So, I'm a totally convinced GalahGalah tribe member, the inaugural member, elder and king! Anyone can join, just send $50, for a membership certificate!

@@multioptioned We already have more people on government, wealth destroying, jobs, than private sector, wealth creating jobs. Our jobs all went to China, as part of the plan, to collapse free market capitalism.

@D K And that is how we're controlled - getting "branded as disrespectful or racist". That tactic has been used in Western countries, to great effect, for twenty five years or more now. It's such a simple, low-cost strategy. We've all been mostly educated to be tolerant and accommodating. And we haven't been educated in the appropriate strategies to use against enforced 'group-think'. /It takes someone who's prepared to risk their job to question that narrative: "Is it really racist to ask xyz ?", or to challenge it legally. Someone with nothing much to lose ... OR someone who thinks a bit differently, and is prepared to make a stand.

@@comealongcomealong4480 You KEEP your mouth shut UNTIL you get your evidence! THAT way no1 can claim anything against you!

@@BadDriversOz Wokey dokey

@@howunacceptibleofme2145 It pays be holding the right cards sometimes!

@BaddriversOz whom are you to demand someone else shut up, do you believe in freedom of speech but only for you

That is what I thought.

💯

No, you are indigenous to Australia. Nothing to do with aboriginality. Even if aboriginality is conflated with indigeneity, which is just more to do with money. Let's face it, everything aboriginal these days is about the money. Take the money out of it, and there would be no problems at all.

Native actually. The 2 aren't quite the same!

No they are not, Aboriginal means original, most of us have zero original people in our family trees.

That's the most TransAboriginalPhobic thing I have ever heard. "His truth" doesn't depend on your facts.

Trust me...having 25% Czech and 6.25% Maori in me means SFA. The booze is too expensive in NZ and too cheap in the Czech Republic to trace the family tree 🍺🍺🍺🍺🙃🙃

@Justlookinnotbuyin so building thousands of disease, drug, and crime ridden hippie communes like Chaz-Clop in Seattle Washington, USA isn't a smart plan after all? Soros spent more on those communist communes only to have it shut down because of a couple dozen murders, than he spent stuffing Africans onto rubber boats that are designed sink so the passengers can to be picked up 20km out to sea, off the coast of Libya.

I agree with you But if your meal or female apparently your not So why not for this they've opened a can of worms As now nothing off the table You can be anything you want if you say it offensive not to be allowed This could even extend to job titles if you really want as it's all about their feelings

@@Hoopaball I would agree, but there's a cash cow to be milked. Time for me to become a reverse coconut...white outside, brown inside.

I totally agree, Pete. It is always about the money!!

@@kirkc4696 And sadly Kirk, that money is not being spent on those who need it most. Instead, most of it heads offshore into bank accounts of those so-called black elders (all that means is you're fat and wear an Akubra and grow a long white beard), or the bosses of the organisations that purport to help those that need it most.

Just wait it will happen

😂😂😂😂😂

You know THAT proves nothing!

@@BadDriversOz why?

@@jerzywieckowski7610 because there's not enough Aboriginals that have done it for them to pick it up. Some sites like Ancestry states Melanesian but does not break it down as far as I know but I could be wrong as I haven't looked into for years.

@@jerzywieckowski7610 Why? There is NO 'race' gene!

@@BadDriversOz rubbish. Proves the negative.

Free stuff?? Where? I have to do the same as any other person? If you have the info as to where I can get free stuff, I would be most inclined to take advantage with the way things are going lol

@@imadgin4317 Low interest housing loans, low interest business loans, free prescriptions through “ closing the gap”, to name a few. I have no problem sharing the abundance of this nation with my fellow Australians, and am happy my taxes benefit my society. I just don’t like having it thrown back in my face! That’s reasonable, don’t you think?

@@queenslander7756 Well I'm Aboriginal and still have to pay 290 for a skin doctor, maybe not widely advertised. My Grandmother got a bag flour of sugar working for Caucasians on a station since she was 6yrs old family slept humpy by creek and cave in wet weather. Throwing back in your face? If so why wouldn't your daughter take advantage of it as it helps her and her descendants, understandable each has personal choice. If was presented to most they surely would take the opportunity (not just Aboriginals) Intergenerationall trauma and not knowing the system the Brittish people put in place came out of loss (disadvantage) to our people being displaced not many have land housing, they have to rent or they would be homeless. The mob that came took over and gave to their descendants that came at a cheaper price back then. Not being able to get certain types of work to other ethnicities growing up was hard, so of If it helps then great. Aboriginal people make up 3% of Australia's population I don't think all of them are are using this free stuff. You never see Aboriginals with big beautiful properties. If your referring to the man claiming then understandble but all my family were hard workers and bever received no benefits, they're paying home loans from the bank such as the others! Isn't there anything for people? I heard Austudy and Abstudy, what is the difference, is it the rate? If it helps the minority to catch up to society aren't you happy they're are trying to contribute? I know Aboriginal people English is their 3rd language so them getting help to contribute towards the future only benefits all. My Greatgrandmother taught herself English reading the bible and asking us when we were going to school, so yes some of us are behind. Most of these businesses that get apparent funding....do they really help Aboriginal people? Do Aboriginal people really get? If you knew Aboriginal people you would know most Aboriginal people don't like going doctors.

@@imadgin4317 You’ve painted a pretty gloomy picture of our future. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t like to see any minority struggling to manage in a country with such abundance. There are people from all socioeconomic groups who are finding it increasingly difficult to survive the present economic situation. Do you think criticising today’s generation for for their history and the errors of their forefathers is the best way to reach common ground? Most Australians I meet only wish to settle any differences, but activists are not doing favours for either side of this discussion, and only seem to be provoking the community and alienating us further. What is your proposal as an aboriginal?

😂😂😂😂😂

Scallions are from the onion family.

@KJB. The problem with your challenge is that you are manipulating and twisting things, trying to force people to accept your reality, your personal beliefs, you cannot accept what’s happening in real life, you are living in denial ok. In other words, you are narcissistic and it is the only way you need to be heard.

What about a Kiwi Voice to Parliament? We suffer a lot of discrimination.

Me too

NNnnnnn nanga nanga nanggggg...

Be trans too.

LMAO 🤣👍 Comment of the Day !

I belong to the gimme, gimme tribe.

YES

Yeah the perks of living in slums in town camps, what a joy. The SKY mob have a downward envy the like I have never seen - you fools are envious of the poor refugees we jail and torture for decades, envious of Indigenous people living in hot slums, envious of mentally ill people trying to survive on the dole - grow up.

Its a bit like members of parliament calling themselves our representatives and getting paid for being so .We all know first they represent the PARTY or they wouldnt pass PRE SELECTION secondly the represent themselves and their SUPERANNUATION because most seem to despise there country and their employers and most have no skills that match their jobs and most of the time when we need their vote on the floor of parl/t as in covid they are not HOME WE also know that any correspondence we attempt with them passes through a filter system in there office and is binned or a generic reply is sent to your question .Destroying our non existent CONSTITUTION 1901

In the slavery years in the USA anyone deemed to have one drop of black blood could be called a negro and enslaved for life, Bolt is a convicted racist who should know better. Reading Kyam's bio he has worked very hard without privilege of any kind to rise through the ranks on merit where uneducated uni dropouts like Rowan Dean get to ride up on the back of their own racism

Nope, it's worse. Nazi Germany promoted the benefit of our people while these people are doing it as a way to take your political power away in a country that our people built. In short, the "good guys" didn't win WW2.

That’s just an insane comparison.

Only people who would be offended, is if they are cosplaying.

Me too 😅

They acknowledge the 1/64th that gets them cash and benefits.

It’s just genetic noise.

Exactly!

@Occident Advocate Was musing on human progress the other day. (Not an academic.) My thought was that it was Trade that possibly drove the development of written language, plus new solutions and new human developments. Just a guess .... considering all the peoples who traded over thousands of years, versus groups of people who were more isolated for various reasons. I'd like to see an anthropologist speak to this question about the seeds of human progress.

They didn't ask you to come and were happy with their way of life. The way they've been treated in their own land is pretty despicable.

@@D1Snr Not any different than what they were doing to each other for thousands of years. They fought rival tribes for land and influence and if they could of taken everything for there tribe. They very well would of done it.

Just like some man identity as "women"and vice versa...

This happens all the time, most times Aboriginal people don't know of this stuff maybe some but it's not widely advertised. I have got it 2 years of schooling paid being from a remote community and I work and pay taxes back as society does, hopefully she did to.

That is why they don't do test.

DNA tests will be deemed racist.

They will claim your racist if you dont believe them . The r card gets thrown around alot . Im still waiting for my white privalige card to come . Been waiting over 50 years for it .

@@wl2977 The tests show nothing!

Yes it would be good if that was the case but it doesn’t identify all indigenous tribes, only the ones with Melanesian bloodlines.

You're.

Hey people what about multi milliionaires and billionaires claiming to have made big losses so they dont pay taxes. Like trump. You fools, the billionaires are your enemy not people gettiing a few more dollars claiming to be aboriginals. The idea is to make billionaires pay more tax so everyone gets more. How dumb are you to get stuck into an argument of the poor versus the poor while the super rich laugh. You dont even know who is ripping you off, you mugs.

@@paulchilds9137 like B:ill G:ates that sends most of his profits to his BS charity foundation so he can sneakily fund things and agendas that he is interested in. Bloomberg , Ge,orge So,ros the Cli,nton Fo,undation etc etc

@@wilowest3509 yes, wilo, like bill gates. The government decides what taxes are spent on because it knows what the priorities are, not bill gates. Pity when bill gates decides that the services supporting a very sick or very poor relative of yours are not a priority when government research says they are. People elect governments and can control governments, especially their spending. People cannot control bill gates or, worse still, some psychopath billionaires who wants to cut all government health spending. (Note: i think bill gates is a good guy, other billionaires would not piss on you if you were on fire.)

@@paulchilds9137 Yep, you're pretty much right! The more you have, the MORE you can claim against!

Um...money, preferential treatment?

Exactly

Unfortunately no, it can’t pick up all tribes only Melanesian bloodlines. Blood was taken during 60s, but unfortunately it’s not allowed to be released. I wish it was so they could do some comparisons, maybe one day.

That is such deranged nonsense, no one gets grants to study goannas. Your downward envy is depraved.

Tomorrow at 3pm. Just send me a million dollars by midnight.

It doesn't even seem to be in living memory that this fellow is aboriginal otherwise they would know the name of there supposed ancesor.if they could say a name then it could be checked

Sawubona! or hello

correct and they have

He sounds Kiwi and looks Italian.
