From Whence I Came----Recent events

It would appear that the original blog "From Whence I Came" published Nov 16 2022, requires Mason's examples of  each  of the three 'Nation People' categories. Events of the past few weeks provides good examples. -----------------------A short interlude!!. I went out to the garage to find a an item I needed and gong up the veranda steps and bang, I tripped, leg and arm busted open, so here I am again, to have my say.

First Nation People--   They have been around the Continent and its islands for a very long time. They exsisted off the land and sea,in relatively small groups. Hunter Gathers, artists and sheltered in caves; rock overhangs and make shift timber covers. (Now know as  'Gunya's,!)

Fast forward to the now . 2022. We have Elders and Aunties and just a few  Politicion's, and professional Doctors and the like. Regretfully I see no real progress in the Law (Magistrates-Judges etc); Senior Police or Military Officers.  Why not because the Second Nation People are in charge.

I don't believe First Nation People need a Voice in Parliament, but a SAY in running Australia and the only way to do that is in the Constitution and elected members of Parliament. 

The referendum the Prime Minister witters on about a Voice, which  gives them very little progress. 

The way it is, right now it is give give  and First Nation always wants more and more, a bit like Ukraine. The Aboriginal  flag flies on public buildings, indicating their wish for reconition.

Come on First Nation, get in their and mix it Politically---In Force by political stealth.. There are a few but all too silent as in the next category.Thus get involved in the politics and those already in, Stand  Up and be Counted,in Parliament. A Voice means little- 'A SAY" does.

Second Nation People - The Nation Builders. 

They were at first and for a long time,complete bastards, to all and every one.  "From whence they came', we must remember was, terrible conditions of poverty.and degradation of the common man.     They could be dead in door ways,frozen to death, executed and place on Holloway jail wall for collection , later children taken from single mothers and sent to the colonies- Europes Stolen Children.

Gradually, conditions improved for the English and Irish in particular, but not for the First Nation  People and kin many ways,they are still victimised, by Magistrates and their ilk. Who still have the power to relentlessly sentence unfairly and the Government does nothing about it. We now have a situation where appeasement has gone too far, with Councils, giving away buildings and facilities, belonging to the general public. plus of course the use of strange names, particularly by the ABC. Even eminent people like Phillip Adam's uses an aboriginal place name from where he broadcasts (Altimo!!). 

OK lets turn to, Alice Springs, where  youngsters are apparantly running riot and upsetting everyone, off goes the Prime Minister Mr Albanese, trying to look like one of the people,with open shirt and a country Hat. . In speech saying he is going to sort it out, and there once again , it is a Second Nation people sorting out a first nation problem. In the background is  Ken Dodson, the Senator, just sitting there and saying nothing, when he should be out on the Alice Spring streets, talking to the people. He should been at the podiem having the Aboriginal "SAY". Until they get more people in parliament, there is little that can be done- So look lively the likes of Ken Dodson.

Ah Ah, A good one Mr Dodson, at last, "A seat in Cabinet proposed ' Yes, absolutely,as long as it is earned and not given---Hope On.

Moral of this section. Appeasement OK but in moderation, please, on Giving things away, try to advise First Nation People that they are Australian too

Third Nation People-.The Avoriceous Preditors of the Nations resources. They both are both Australian and Foreign owned Companies, run by  Australians , but mostly by Foreign Nations, with Foreign, HQ's to answer to. It really amounts the Rape of Australia's resources. 

Australia does very little to control them and never uses the LEASE retention, on companies who misbehave, and misbehalve they do.

Let take Rio Zinco, as an example. Remember the Cave and water degredation. No problem its only a matter of money, in the right direction., . That's how it is MONEY it seemed to me. On the rape of our resources the First Nation People and anyone else for that matter, are relatively quiet-again MONEY.  sod the future. My blog 'Earth the Finite Planet' published September2012, says it all and was sent to World Leaders of the day.

Was it only last week Rio Tinto lost in transit a Radio Active Capciual. We no not what base radio active material it was, but not apparantly in a lead lined contianer, or even sent in a secure vehicle. the item was found. 

Rio would have gone ihto Damage Control and their PR stated they would pay for the search, I bet!. Once again they will get away with it with MONEY. Dependig on the sort of isotope it is, the Federal Government should ,fine them most vigorously. Will Albanese fire up and do the right thing--I doublt it.

These are my thoughts, on Australia, as it is today.
