  1. White society says that to indigenous people every day. Just read through the racist comments in this comment section.

  2.  @GoranTechnokid  Clearly there is no evidence of indigenous habitation to 250000 years , but perhaps he was referring to the 250 years of colonialism and chose to wildly exaggerate to make a point. Just an idea.

  3. @GoranTechnokid  yes we all need to maintain our own truth and buggar the facts.
    6
  4. Yep you’re right, somehow twisting a simple greeting into something else does indeed require racism.
    6
  5.  @tinkingtinking2134  Perhaps he was simply educating non indigenous people about “welcome to county” and that it varies from country to country. An indigenous persons idea of country is not what you and I consider country.

  6.  @evanburrows1697  My understanding is the AFL pays something like $700 for a Welcome to Country. I have no idea where your ridiculous number comes from. My data comes for the AFL website.

  7. No the AFL has a payment schedule on its website. $700 is the fee for a single person welcome to country. Your number is literally bullshit.

  8. @John-p7i5g  Yes Facebook and X are far better. Personally I perfer a good pinot grigio with my cat whereas Trump likes a good Coke. Who am I to argue.

  9.  @farmer.g  Who did invent the wheel? The British certainly didn’t.

  10.  @tinkingtinking2134  Do they? I’d let the original commentator speak for themselves.

  11. @derekmottley3656  No I'm not saying 250000 years or $700. The AFL are saying they pay $700 for a "welcome to country".

  12. @karlm9584  $700 for an individual to do a "welcome to country".

  13. @derekmottley3656  No the AFL are claiming they pay $700 for a "welcome to country"

  14. @thomaspurcell6442  Well at least now we are now discussing the facts and not some ridiculously stupid made-up fantasy number.

  15. @chrismurphy3184  It is just my opinion, but I don't think he was being literal. I think he was equating the 250 of colonial history with what some in the indigenous community feel is thier history here being since the beginning. Now we know this isn't literally true, but they have been here according to the best scientific evidence around 60000 years. Also if you equate one indigenous persons opinion on one subject and then say they, implying all indigenous claims are false then surely this applies to all non indigenous people. When a non indigenous politician makes are clearly false statement do you hold to account all non indigenous persons?

  16. @andyk2921  No, you are demonstrably and falsifiably wrong. Our High Court in an unappealable decision 6 to 1 decided that indigenous people have a continuing ownership of the land. In effect they have English common law land rights of country they can prove ownership of in our court system. They have done this successfully numerous times. Ever heard of "Mabo" and the Native title act?

  17. And let’s count the racist comments.

  18.  @snuscaboose1942  factually incorrect. There are several sites in Africa, Ethiopia, South Africa, and Morocco that have scientifically documented evidence of Homo sapiens skeletal remains that date to over 250000 years old. The accepted scientific consensus from archeological sites in the Kimberly WA is that indigenous Australians inhabited the Australian mainland 60000 years ago +/- 5000 years, but yes further study and evidence gathering is continuing.

  30. @useruseruseruseruser790  That wasn't the claim. The claim was very specific that "aboriginals didn't invent the wheel" I simply asked who did and qualified it by stating the British certainly didn't. Not interested in your off topic tanget nonsense.

  31.  @useruseruseruseruser790  Did they invent the wheel?

  32.  @PJRayment  Jeez you talk some absolute garbage.

  33. @useruseruseruseruser790  And again that wasn't the claim. Did the British invent the wheel?

  34. @useruseruseruseruser790  A claim was made that aborigines didn't invent the wheel, I don't disagree, however I commented that the British didn't either, and then you tried to compare the the history and culture of England with the history and culture of Australia pre 1788, and that is absurd.
    1
  35. @useruseruseruseruser790  Seriously, you are going to compare the history of Europe and all the advantages they had of collaboration with a culture virtually cut off from the rest of the world till the 18th century. I mean really, read Guns, Germs and Steel, and educate yourself.
    1
  36.  @useruseruseruseruser790  I have already addressed all your points by referencing Jared Diamonds book, Guns, Germs, and Steel. If you honestly think the British invented all the things they did (a fact I have no issue with) in isolation then you are completely deluded and have no understanding whatsoever of history.

  39.  @rosshitchen-ij6en  Yes, for them it seems like a pissing contest, my dick is bigger than yours stuff. For others there biblical philosophy gives them a belief of superiority or ultimate knowledge. Comically stupid.

  42. @rosshitchen-ij6en  Please ignore creationist arguments about radio carbon dating, they have been fully debunked. University of Queensland using OSL technology estimate evidence uncovered at the Madjedbebe sites to be 65000 +/- 5000 years old. The scientific community are fully aware of the limitations on Radiocarbon dating and this is fully taken into account when dating objects. Don't engage with their garbage.

  43.  @rosshitchen-ij6en  Like I said Phil will take you down the creationist rabbit hole every time. The scientific community are well aware of the limitations of radiocarbon dating, and use multiple methods to date various objects.
    1
  44.  @rosshitchen-ij6en  Here is a list of the various absolute methods use to date objects Radiocarbon Dating: One of the most widely known radiometric dating techniques, radiocarbon dating measures the decay of the radioactive isotope Carbon-14 (C-14) in any organic material found in archaeological deposits, such as wood, plants, textiles, and human or animal remains to determine its age. Dendrochronology: Since most trees produce a ring of new wood annually, archaeologists use the variations in cross-sections of wood to produce timelines. Thermoluminescence: Useful for determining the age of pottery or ceramics, it can be used to date materials containing crystalline minerals to a specific heating event in the past (such as when the item was made). Fission-track dating: A technique that determines age of various minerals and glasses based on the trails of damage done by the spontaneous fission of uranium-238, the most abundant isotope of uranium. Potassium-argon (K-Ar) and Argon-argon (Ar-Ar): measure the ratio of argon gas in igneous volcanic rock to estimate how much time has elapsed since the rock cooled and solidified. Archaeomagnetic dating: Magnetic particles in most materials of geological origin, such as rocks and clay, are analyzed to track shifts in the earth’s magnetic fields over time

  49. @rosshitchen-ij6en  What a complete dick, so full of his supposed British superiority, it was leaking out his rectum. My history is entirely British, and I am quite proud of my heritage and simply appreciate the unique nature of indigenous culture. We are both proud Australians, and I don't for the life of me understand why others have to denigrate other cultures.
