AUSTRALIAN “SOVEREIGNTY” or MYTHICAL PAST
For many decades now Australia has been cajoled and lowered into the devious clutches of exploitive Aboriginal Industry by whatever means and avenues possible.
These people are embedded in every nook and cranny of our Governments, Government Departments, Education System, Social Welfare Departments and Agencies, etc., etc. ad nauseam.
They are constantly contriving and striving to drive a wedge between Aboriginal descendant Australians and all other Australians.
Australia 2021 – State of the Environment
This convoluted document put out by the Environment Minister Plibersek, is a collaborations of various people’s opinions and views, a great proportion of which are Aboriginal descendant Australians.
It tries hard to portray that the report was developed by appropriately qualified and credentialed scientist and other highly experienced people and that it includes detailed scientific facts to support all the suppositions, views and opinions of these people.
However the truth is that extremely very little scientific research, conclusions and statements are anywhere to be found in this document
This entire document does nothing more than gather the opinions (not scientific facts) of a bunch of people most of which are of no better note than you or I and present them to the Australian people as unquestionable facts.
It reads like a DOOMSDAY scroll from the medieval times.
Some extracted parts from the Australia 2021 – State Of The Environment follows, with the odd comment:
Combining scientific, traditional and local knowledge, Indigenous and non-Indigenous people have worked together to create this first holistic assessment of the state of Australia’s environment.
The report aims to help shape policy and action, influence behaviours, and assess our actions as stewards of the Australian environment.
Our environment is under extreme pressure. Read the report. Make an impact. Heal Country. Our future wellbeing and prosperity depend on it
Indigenous authors have written in almost every part of this report. A report of this nature, which discusses different categories of the environment and heritage in isolation from one another, runs counter to the Indigenous
holistic world view where all aspects of the environment and culture are linked. This report emphasises the interconnectedness of environment and culture.
Comment:
Seriously, this is such rubbish. The Environment and Culture are not part of each other at all.
The Environment (ie: Nature) does not need people, it is there whether people exist or not.
Culture is a word to explain the way of life of some humans.
Comment on Culture:
Australian Oxford Dictionary describes the word culture as follows:
cu’lture 1. n. cultivating; production; development of bacteria etc; bacteria etc. developed, in specially prepared medium; refinement or improvement of mind,tastes,etc. by education and training; form or type of civilisation; customs etc. of a people;
cul’tural a. 2.v.t. maintain (bacteria etc.) in artificial conditions for growth
So when being applied in reference to a group or race of people the dictionary says “form or type of civilisation; customs etc. of a people”.
Conversely when being applied to a means of achievement the dictionary says “refinement or improvement of mind tastes,etc. by education and training”
Neither of these two explanations of the word “cultural” can be decided or implemented with or within each other.
That is, the way of life of a “people” cannot stay as it was, if advancement and learning is to be achieved.
We have sought to improve the usefulness of the SoE report for input into evidence‑based
policy and management. The 2021 report has refocused its purpose to enable users
in government, industry, natural resource management, Indigenous land and sea
management, nongovernment organisations and the finance investment sector to explore
and discover information of interest to them.
We have improved the user experience through a revised digital delivery of SoE, providing
easy access to the extensive research that sits behind our analysis.Comment:
It would help a great deal if this research that sits behind our analysis. Is put to print so we (the Public) can make up our own minds how extensive and believable it is.
The entry statement (2nd page each chapter) is clearly showing this document to be just another stage in the Aboriginal Industries efforts to deceive all Australians.

Tasmanian Aboriginal knowledge comes from
Country, and is connected to Country since the
beginning of time. This knowledge embraces Sea
Country, and the waters which carry our stories that
connect us with the icy land and seas of Antarctica.
Marine animals, fish and birds migrate from northern
lands to Antarctica and back, every year as they have
done since creation.
The big ice-breaker Nuyina follows the path of
the muttonbird and whale that feed in the waters
around Antarctica.
But the ice is melting; ocean temperatures are
rising! We must bring our planet back to life, care for
our Country and the ocean’s lifeworlds – from the
smallest krill to the largest whale, for all the times
to come.

This document is being put to the Australian people as truthful and science based when it just another way of building the wedge to divide Australia (Aboriginal DECENDANTS v all other Australians) and add to the already mountainous pile of untruthfulness, falsehoods and straight out lies about the Indigenous Tribes and their Culture.
The proposition that these small tribes with no understanding of anything other than their existence and ways of hunter gathering, are now being claimed to be great arche’s of knowledge on all things to do with nature and conservation, is a massive lie.
At the present in Western Australia the WATER COPORATION has a couple of Aboriginal descendant Australians telling us all about how much knowledge they have above all other Australians and that we should listen to those that know.
They say this great knowledge is because their ancestors have been here across 60,000 years.
This they suggest is proof they know better than any other Australians about water, water management, land management, conservation, the air, the shy, seasons and weather patterns, and so on and so on, to ad nauseam.
Woke Terminology
The lengths to which the Aboriginal Industry together with all its complacent Media, Green, Teal, Labor Politian’s and woke bureaucrats is astounding.
All of these concocted clichés, is a jargon language totally foreign to normal everyday Australian language and understanding.
Apart from being a subversive means of getting the public to conform to this Aboriginal Industry Mantra, they are simply not GOOD or PROPER ENGLISH LANGUAGE and sound childish and immature.
These cliché references to some Aboriginal Descendent Australian’s activity, supposed way of life, or whatever, is for them and should not be forced onto the general public, as most of us are just mere AUSTRALIANS.
This whole charade of shoving the Aboriginal Descent Australian’s activities, way of life and supposed culture, in the faces of all other Australian’s is not appropriate in any form, as it is undemocratic and creates disharmony in society.
It does in fact build a wave of resentment from mere AUSTRALIAN’S verses a tide of entitlement on the part of Aboriginal Descendent Australian’s.
Notes:
Conclusion
If this is not racism in the reverse sense of what mere Australian’s are constantly accused of, then I will ride to the hills.
Fact
This entire mantra of worshipping the Aboriginal Descendent Australian population by constantly paying homage to them (past, present and emerging) is so wrong in so many ways, it is laughable.
The current and increasing level of Aboriginal Descendent Australian’s participation in brutal criminal activities across the entire country is testament to the height of their arrogance of entitlement and total disregard to the law and all OTHER AUSTRALIAN’S lives and wellbeing.
Inventory of Invented Terminology
- Acknowledgement of Country
We respect and honour Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders past, present and future. We acknowledge the stories, traditions and living cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples on this land and commit to building a brighter future together.
Warning: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised that this website may contain images, voices and names of deceased persons.
- Welcome to Country or Acknowledgement of Country
Welcome to Country
Only Traditional Owners/Custodians of the land on which the event takes place can deliver a Welcome to Country.
To arrange a Welcome to Country in your area, contact our Regional Network office nearest you. They can provide contact details for a Traditional Owner/Custodian.
Acknowledgement of Country
If a Traditional Owner is not available to do a Welcome to Country, an Acknowledgement of Country can be delivered instead.
When
An Acknowledgement of Country is usually delivered as part of Welcome and Housekeeping at meetings and events.
It should be delivered at significant/large internal meetings or meetings with external participants e.g. branch meetings, inter-departmental meetings etc.
What
There are three types of Acknowledgement of Country:
Generic — this should be used if you don’t know the name of the people on whose land you are gathered, or if there are disputes about the land (multiple Aboriginal peoples identify as Traditional Custodians for that area). The words are:
‘I begin today by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we <gather/meet> today, and pay my respects to their Elders past and present. I extend that respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples here today.’
Specific — this should be used where there are no disputes and you know the name of the people on whose land you are gathered. The words are:
‘I begin today by acknowledging the <insert name of people here (e.g. Ngunnawal)> people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we <gather/meet> today, and pay my respects to their Elders past and present. I extend that respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples here today.’
General (Australia wide – webinar / website / printed material) – The words are:
‘In the spirit of reconciliation the [organisation] acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.’
You may also like to contact your local land council or one of our Regional Network offices for more advice about acknowledging Traditional Owners in your area.
Advice from Reconciliation Australia
‘There are no set protocols or wording for an Acknowledgement of Country, though often a statement may take the following forms.’
General: I’d like to begin by acknowledging the Traditional Owners of the land on which we meet today. I would also like to pay my respects to Elders past and present.
Specific: I’d like to begin by acknowledging the Traditional Owners of the land on which we meet today, the (people) of the (nation) and pay my respects to Elders past and present.
Example from ReconciliationAustralia.org.au:
Reconciliation Australia acknowledges and pays respect to the past, present and future Traditional Custodians and Elders of this nation and the continuation of cultural, spiritual and educational practices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
- Cultural acknowledgement
Australians Together respects and honours First Nations Elders past, present and future. We acknowledge the stories, traditions and living cultures of First Nations Peoples on this land and commit to building a brighter future together.
It’s important for us to acknowledge and recognise that Australians Together’s Adelaide office is on Kaurna yerta (land). We respect and honour Elders, past, present and future, and acknowledge their Native Title rights to Country, which holds the stories, traditions and living culture of Kaurna People.
- Acknowledging Country online and at home
There are many different ways to Acknowledge and respect Country virtually, including on social media, from your home, or at your school.
Some suggestions for respecting Country virtually include:
At Home
- Record your Acknowledgement of Country via video
- Take a photo of you, friends, or family with the name of the Traditional Owners, or a sign of Acknowledgement
- Make chalk art or signs on your driveway and upload photos or video.
At Work
- Record a video message at your workplace or a create a photo Acknowledgement
- Ask and encourage your colleagues to take part to create a collage or compilation
- If working remotely, host a zoom meeting with colleagues and ask everyone to hold a sign Acknowledging the Land they are working/living on, or add that detail into chat.
At School
- Create paintings, drawings or signs with your students and upload photos or video
- Create video messages or photos and encourage teachers and staff to get involved.
- Why Acknowledging Country is important
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have experienced a long history of exclusion from Australian history books, the Australian flag, the Australian anthem and for many years, Australian democracy.
This history of dispossession and colonisation lies at the heart of the disparity between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and other Australians today.
Including recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in events, meetings and national symbols contributes to ending the exclusion that has been so damaging.
Incorporating welcoming and acknowledgement protocols into official meetings and events recognises Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Owners of land and shows respect.
- The distinction between ‘country’ and ‘Country’
In Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, the meaning of Country is more than just ownership or connection to land, as Professor Mick Dodson explains:
When we talk about traditional ‘Country’…we mean something beyond the dictionary definition of the word. …we might mean homeland, or tribal or clan area and we might mean more than just a place on the map. For us, Country is a word for all the values, places, resources, stories and cultural obligations associated with that area and its features. It describes the entirety of our ancestral domains. While they may all no longer necessarily be the title-holders to land, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians are still connected to the Country of their ancestors and most consider themselves the custodians or caretakers of their land.
NT OF COUNTRY
- Each area has ceremonies significant to the Country you are on.
Lionel’s smoking ceremonies use three plants that are used in ritual on Bunurong/Boonwurrung County.
Properties of these plants protect guests both physically and spiritually.
A smoking can be used in welcome, celebration, birth, deaths, to cleanse bad energy and spirits.
A Welcome to Country (WTC) can only be done by someone who is a Traditional Owner (T.O) Country
(unless special permission is granted by the T.O’s)
eg Bunurong/Boonwurung
A Welcome is an obligation to protect your guests both physically and spiritually. An Acknowledgement is an obligation to protect the people’s land and water you are on

Dear Richard,
Last week I asked you to tell me what you thought about Labor’s Indigenous Voice to Parliament.
And the message was loud and clear.
“Divided we fall! Our nation will never be fully united and completely integrated unless we have one set of rules, one set of regulations, equal rights and equal opportunities for all peoples.” Francis D.
“Absolutely, Matthew, its virtue signalling at its worst and most divisive. Keep up the good work… Hopefully common sense will prevail over the woke crazies!” John M.
“Every person born in Australia is indigenous to this country. This change to the constitution will only lead to a lot of resentment between people and is certainly racist.” Pauline A.
“It will basically be a ‘Bill of Rights’ written into our Constitution based on race … this will cause nothing but division within Australia. If this is what closing the gap looks like then I don’t support it.” Bradley L.
We were inundated with hundreds of messages from supporters after last week’s email.
ADVANCE supporters have no interest in changing our nation’s constitution to enshrine what amounts to the world’s biggest virtue signal.
You aren’t buying Labor’s assurances their Voice won’t ride roughshod over our parliamentary democracy.
You don’t want identity politics written indelibly into our Constitution.
There’s no way you’ll be convinced this does a single thing to help Indigenous Aussies, because ‘the Voice’ won’t be your voice, it’ll be their voice. The voice of the elites. The voice of woke politicians.
But the biggest concern among ADVANCE supporters is the very real fact that Labor’s Voice is fundamentally racist.
By segregating our constitution by race, the Voice will divide us into two Australia’s. One black, one white.
Even though every Australian is different, let’s be united together. One proud nation, together under one flag.
What’s even more irritating is that we have to think about this nonsense while there are massive threats on the horizon to our freedom, security and prosperity.
Like the Chinese Communist Party, which is beating its war drums over Taiwan.
While Labor and the Greens are obsessed with identity politics, China’s ambassador to Australia gave a speech this week dictating to us where we can and can’t stand on our own national security.
Beijing is getting the jump on us while Foreign Minister Penny Wong fusses over the ‘Voice’ and the appointment of a “first nations ambassador”, who she says will “counter narratives from countries that seek advantage over us”.
I’m sure Xi is quaking in his boots.
In the title to this paper the use of the word “contemporary” is my deliberate way to separate the old and real from the new and unreal.
This word “contemporary” is chucked around so liberally and repetitively these days that it can only mean or represent one thing and that is “Of or in the style of the present or recent times; modern.”
It is even used in discussion, documents and papers to knowing differentiate our young current service people from those of the past. The use is such that it implies the Soldier of today is somehow not the same as the Soldier of yesterday.
I am not sure why the term/word is used so liberally in reference to ADF Personnel because the only thing that is REALLY different is the quality and effectiveness of their arms and equipment. The character, dedication, discipline, leadership and bravery is hoped to be no different from that of all of our incredible ANZAC’s that have been and gone before this time, that is the present.
So because this term/word is so prevalent, it should resinate with most people out there in the public domain. However the difference that I would like to portray is that the majority of people today really are “contemporary” (ie : the present / modern people) and unfortunately seem to have lost contact with reality across so many areas and aspects of life and living in this magnificent land of ours, Australia.
Nothing has changed in this vast land for as many years as you choose to select. So let us just pick and say two hundred thousand (200,000) years. That is this place is still the same as it has been forever. The only thing about this place is that it has more population than it did 200,000 year ago. Back all that time ago this land had Indigenous people scattered all over the continent in many small tribes. These tribes were not a collective nation in anyway. There is no proof in any shape or form that the idea of these scattered tribes can be seen as a nation. To make argument and statements of this being a fact is simply not honest or truth full in any respect.
If this is to be seen as the truth, that any peoples/tribes living on the same continent must be taken as a Single Nation, then the same conclusion must be drawn on all the World Continents. That is Africa, Europe, North America, South American etc. and so on, should be regarded as single nation. But this is not the case and these continents are made of separate countries based on different languages.
All of the so called “experts” who pontificate and spruik that Australia was a Nation of Indigenous people prior to any immigration of others, are not honest and are structuring and presenting their opinion, not a truth full fact.
These people are in fact constantly contriving to drive a wedge between Aboriginal Australians and all other Australians.
It is time for ALL “contemporary” Australians to wake up, sit up and speak up about this and a mirrored of other more critical things all around and coming down on Australia.
Things we should be focusing on and all pulling in the same direction to support and insist and tell the Federal Government to put on the top of the IMMEDIATE ACTION pile are:
- Defence, Defence, Defence
The best example of our feeble defence capability is that the ADF in WA = 5635. When equated to Australia’s total of 80,350, it equates to 7% of the entire ADF
Please note there are many different ADF strength figures floating about in the media, ADF documents and the internet, which seems to suit the ADF Chiefs because it clouds reality. I believe my figures are the most accurate.
ARMY in WA = 2010 of a total of 43,962 which equates to 4.5% of the entire Army
Tiny Army presence in the North West of WA = 155
Present total Army manpower in WA is 2010. Comprised of 1185 Reserve,
125 Permanent and 700 SAS soldiers
Of this 2010 the TOTAL NUMBER of FEET ON THE GROUND SOLDIERS in the:
NORTH WEST Kimberley’s (Broome) 30
Pilbara (Karratha) 125
TOTAL 155
This 155 Soldiers, is made up of 95% Reserve Soldiers, Operational Area is 1.5 million Km2, which equates to 8,108 Km2 per Soldier to cover and be responsible to watch over.
To top this incredible insecure situation of NO ARMY, there is zero RAAF fire power capability in the state of WA.
That is NO PLANES, NO HELICOPTERS, NO MANPOWER, NO ACTIVE OPERATIONAL AIRSTRIP / FACILITY.
There are so many crisis situations going on in Australia at this time that it really is confounding to me why Governments at all levels and the people especially allow these things to play second fiddle to the Aboriginal Industry.
- Workforce, Skills, Training, Migration
- Housing, Accommodation, Homelessness
- Domestic Violence, Home and Suburban Safety
- Plus, Plus, Plus, Plus
To emphasize this point the following is a copy of the Indigenous Expenditure Report 2017:
Indigenous Expenditure Report 2017
The 2017 Indigenous Expenditure Report was released on 26 October 2017. It provides estimates of the levels and patterns of Australian, State and Territory government expenditure on services relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians. Data are available for 2015-16, with historical data provided for 2012-13, 2010-11 and 2008-09.
2017 Indigenous Expenditure Report
An estimated $33.4 billion of Australian, State and Territory government expenditure was spent on services provided to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians in 2015-16, according to the 2017 Indigenous Expenditure Report.
Around 18 per cent of this expenditure was on targeted programs for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians, and the remainder was through non-targeted, or mainstream, services. Since 2008-09 (and after adjusting for inflation), targeted expenditure has remained relatively constant at around $6.0 billion, while expenditure on mainstream services has increased by almost one-third (from $20.9 billion to $27.4 billion).
Per head of total population, expenditure (targeted and mainstream) equated to $44 886 per Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australian, around twice the rate for non-Indigenous Australians ($22 356) and similar to ratios previously reported back to 2008-09. Around two-thirds of the higher per person expenditure for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians is accounted for by greater intensity of service use (reflecting greater need and younger age profile), with the remaining one-third accounted for by the higher cost of providing services (such as in remote locations).
Peter Harris, Chairman of the Productivity Commission and Chair of the Steering Committee for the Review of Government Service Provision emphasised the importance of robust, public evaluations to understand the adequacy, effectiveness and efficiency of government spending, something which is outside the scope of this report. ‘Understanding which policies and programs deliver outcomes effectively is vital for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians, and all Australians. Without understanding what works and why, we cannot say if money is being well spent’ he said.
The full suite of information on this report, including the report, data tables and a ‘how to’ video for accessing the 2017 report data can be found at: http://www.pc.gov.au/ier2017
The report is produced by the Productivity Commission for the Steering Committee for the Review of Government Service Provision. It is the fourth in the series
What do people think of Aboriginal Australians?
I’ll speak for myself and probably most Australians and other people living here.
The same as what we think of human beings in general including non-Aboriginal Australians. Some are good, some are bad and some are in between. It’s a general human thing to have variety.
Aboriginals I believe seem to think the same thing both generally and about their own people.
People are people everywhere, we need to all just “Get used to it”.

Are there any Australian aborigines who continue to live in the way that they did for millennia before the British arrived there?
Population-wise there are few aborigines that that live on the land. Land-wise there are huge areas of Australia of which aborigines occupy. Most of those aborigines live a mixture of old and new cultures. Extremely few would live a completely traditional lifestyle.
We know most of what the aboriginal lifestyle was before the British arrived but what about the previous millennia? Scientists say that there is evidence that the Australian aborigine has existed here for 60,000 years, well; 20,000 years ago there was an Earth ice-age. The ocean’s water was 100m lower than today and it was possible to walk from India to the Australian continent. Indeed, the latest research shows ancient communities that existed off of Australia’s present coastline. The climate would have been different and there are still living examples of ancient palms and fauna left over from a prehistoric age.
Obviously the Australian aborigine has adapted to a slowly drying continent and less abundant food source. This has been estimated to be the case for the last 5,000 years only. Still, that’s longer than any other dynasty

“How many Aborigines lived in Australia before it was colonized?”
Basic answer: we don’t know.
It was a long time before there was any way of assessing population at all accurately.
However long before that, far in advance of European exploration and settlement, European diseases had caused epidemics that killed large proportions of the Aboriginal population. By the time the first Europeans arrived in many areas the population was already decimated.
Estimates based on the carrying capacity of the land are based on a lot of assumption and approximation, and imperfect understanding of pre-colonial Aboriginal cultures.
