The Rousseaunia rubbish of the savage noble, much favoured by Bob Brown and the Greenies, `States’ Education Depts., the Bracks govt - including their wandering from waterhole to waterhole policy, is behind what is summed up below:

Peter Howson: Death of symbolic reconciliation

FORMER champion Essendon footballer Michael Long is not the first to walk for change

Indeed, as a minister for Aboriginal affairs in the early 1970s, I acknowledge that governments at that time wrongly adopted policies designed to keep Aborigines separate from the rest of the community. Those policies were based on the then widely held view among so-called experts that Aboriginal culture and life needed to be preserved in the interest of Aborigines.

Mr. Peter Howson is a gentleman; he was a Liberal Govt’s. minister for Aboriginal affairs from 1971 to 1972.

The reality of tribalism is, it is not pleasant at all, and it is a bare survivalist strategy, a tooth and claw business. What is called `depression’ is rather noteble in ethnographic evidence, after all, there is no property and no freedom, the individual is bound to a group, subjected to them, there is no escape. A closed, narrow little world the stanglehold of which is tightened by buggaloo beliefs. There being no escape for the individual, `depression’ is frequent, observable amongst retribalised types in suburbia, like school choildren taught in dumbed down commie schools, fed such rot as greenies’ garbage and, the end is nigh because evil capitalsito westies won’t let them be their savage noble selves and so forth. The distinction of isolated Aboriginal villages is, that is all there is, no where ready at hand to escape what is a narrow , short, closed horizon.
