The demand for Sovereignty, Voice, treaty, moving Australia Day, for ever increasing resources to ameliorate significant negative behavior are the cutting edge of Australian citizens of Aboriginal ancestry expression of their Entitlement based on being First, not on relative contribution to the building of Australia to a Nation State of wealth and power.
Entitlement:
a right to “full entitlement to rent and maintenance should be offered".
All of us
including the Australian citizens of Aboriginal ancestry migrated into this
Australian continent.
There are no
First no Second in an Equal Voice to Power Democracy.
This is the counterfactual reality of being so stupid to claim colonialism is bad. We would not have the wealthy relatively safe society without our British heritage and the OZ indigenous would still be spearing each other cutting off legs and kidney fat having a cannibal feast.
“The
place was all surrounded by bush, and hundreds of Gundagai aborigines used to
camp close by. And well do I remember many of the fights in which they
participated.
About the year 1850 a big
battle took place just behind where the old brick mill on Morley’s Creek now
stands. One morning we were awakened at daylight by piteous begging of a
blackfellow to be let into our house. My husband gave him entry, and then he
let a number of others in. They told us the Lachlan tribe had swooped down on
them in the night and had massacred some of the Gundagai tribe. The last black
fellow to come in had a long spear sticking out of his stomach-and, really, I
wasn’t sorry as he was a cheeky dangerous man. Next morning ??? went to see
what the damage was, and found two blacks -Motogee and Mecky, dead while a
large number were wounded. A number of gins were speared. One of them Kitty,
escaped by swimming Morley’s Creek carrying her two piccaninnies, and […] the
??? Ark, which stood below where […]. The marauding band also speared dogs and
did other damage. They took away with them the legs of the dead blackfellows,
cutting the limbs off at the thigh. They also carried away the dead men’s
kidney fat.
[…] After this slaughter the
Gundagai blacks thirsted for revenge. They made elaborate preparations, and,
leaving their gins behind, set out to pay back the debt they owed their Lachlan
enemies. After being away some days, they returned laden with trophies of
war-the most prized of which were the legs and kidney fat of some of their
opponents. At night they made a big fire on the Flat, and roasted the flesh of
the Lachlan victims, and partook of a cannibal feast.
The blacks never murdered any
white folk. I recollect the last big fight between the tribes. An old man named
Billy Pemberton was walking down our main street early one morning when a mob
of strange blacks accosted him with, ‘’Where blackfellow camped?’’. Billy
directed them the wrong way and ran and warned the local tribe. A lot of them
raced to our place for shelter. My husband was away at the time-only myself and
two babies were in the house. I let a couple of blackfellows in and they got
under the bed. Others planted in the outhouse; in Turnbull’s store in Lindley's
yard and one got under a cask. But he forgot his dog, which started scratching
outside the barrel and when the “invaders” came along the dog's antics directed
their attention to the barrel and they hauled out the planted man, and I don’t
think there was an inch of his body into which they did not put spears.”

The demand
for Sovereignty, Voice, treaty, moving Australia Day, for ever increasing resources
to ameliorate significant negative behavior are the cutting edge of Australian
citizens of Aboriginal ancestry expression of their Entitlement based on being
First, not on relative contribution to the building of Australia to a Nation
State of wealth and power.
The notion
of Entitlement has been imbued within a considerable number of Australian
citizens of Aboriginal ancestry to make them believe they can treat non-Australian
citizens of Aboriginal ancestry with derision, hatred, roaming streets
committing crimes roaming the hall of power and wealth created by others demanding
resources, respect, power for free.
Australian
citizens have to react decisively to reject and reframe the never ending divisive,
dividing conflict of Marxist Socialist Labor Progressive made up dialectic
materialism paradigm of the oppressed and oppressor imbued within Australian
citizens of aboriginal ancestry belief of Entitlement.
As it is a
condition which will never be satisfied, never enough recompensed wealth, never
enough transferred power, never enough repentance. It is a Marxist postmodern
supercharged victimhood which externalises locus of control and continues to do
so because the new oppressive paradigm is the postmodern distorted
interpretation of reality so resources flow to perpetuate negative conditions
as it pays so well in present policy to prevent the hard realty of culpability
and cathartic change required to achieve socialscape outcome parity.
The tragic
state of affairs we face are many Australian citizens of Aboriginal ancestry who
have achieved more than parity with other Australian citizens in social status,
power, economic have turned against the Australian socialscape network system which
provides evidence by their very achievements the potential of the very system
they express contempt for which has enabled them to achieve a life condition
above parity with other citizens.
A life condition made possible for any Australian citizen or citizen group if they accept, they are responsible themselves to progress their social condition. The promotion by of Australian citizens of aboriginal ancestry benefiting from the very society they condemn claiming Entitlement externalises locus of control, culpability for one’s behavior to outside factors a state which will never be ameliorated, changed to the good.
Australian
citizens of aboriginal ancestry have to face a hard truth they are situated in
a long process commenced 26th January 1788 to raise their ancestors and
subsequent generations from a Stone age existence to modernity of knowledge and
ethical paradigms in a few generations, this by any measure is a very cathartic
dislocation change of immense consequence.
It
necessarily means assimilation to the degree moral injury of significant gaps
of socialscape life outcomes, knowledge and ethical paradigms preventing full
participation and opportunities of improved condition diminish over time. To
determine assimilation is an evil is to petrify the opportunities for a
flourishing life of each new generation within a delimited tribal framework.
European entry
into the Australian landscape despite the traumas always associated with interactions
of significant differential of biology/culture ideology power, ethical behavioral
paradigm outcomes determined by existing resource and mindset contingency, in
historic comparison of reality of such interactions at the same time frame
elsewhere provides improving resources, institutions and governance mindsets seeking
to improve Australian citizens of aboriginal ancestry potential to improve
their condition, not as is erroneously claimed a continuing policy of genocide
expounded by Lidia Thorpe “They are still killing us. They are still stealing
our babies. They are killing our men. They are still raping our women...”
These so
called intellectuals providing support for Australian Citizens of aboriginal
ancestry Entitlement rather than the reality of existing contingency all along
the time frame from 26th January 1788 raising a Stone age civilisation to
modernity utilising an assumption of equal social capacity of knowledge and
ethical frameworks of the now to preclude the application of policy as it
occurred at the time given the transient movement across the Australian
landscape with the associated intertribal violence flowing through European
communities, as well as the moral injury experienced still today of the harm to
children such deleterious parenting behavior resulted in, excused as simply the
Australian parents of aboriginal ancestors parenting style claiming it was just
stealing children, a charge repeated today, rather than an effort to protect children
from worse has led and will continue to do so unless reframed to reality of assimilation
of a stone age culture to modernity to improve their condition, to increasing
conflict as unearned Entitlement will be rightly fought against all along its
unjustified path.
The resolution
entails seeking to work together equal in voice to power. Understanding no one
is First no one is Second. Coming to terms with the hard reality we are all
still situated in a difficult process of change from Stone age behaviours and
beliefs networked systems whose nodes of control want to keep that control and
secure their power at the expense of keeping their biology/culture ideology in
stasis and a victimhood mentality. This is why social systems cannot/will not
change unless an outside force applies continual pressure and template to do
so.
Whereas it
took many thousands of years for the Western Democracies to arrive at the first
industrial age just in its infancy in 1788 to rapidly gain pace, expectation catchup
could be achieved for Australian aboriginals without at times tragic
consequence jumping thousands of years of foundation knowledge and ethic formulation
to deal with the knowledge existing at the time let alone the new to enable Australian
citizens of Aboriginal Ancestry to achieve parity is an unachievable accusation-demand.
There are still many more years to go before this parity can be accomplished.
To claim this can be achieved by the Voice which will only be the same echo of
the same demand of Entitlement, same solutions which have not worked and never
will work because it will allow the existing systems to remain, this is because
we are informed the Voice will take direction from those within the social systems
who have a vested interest to make sure the system within which they currently
hold nodes of power remains as close as
possible to the same known culture which is the very reason it will fail to
close the gap.
Each Australian Citizen of Aboriginal ancestry individual and group within their socialscape will have differing levels of parity, those who have achieved parity cannot expect further assistance as this simply strips away potential resources which can help those still on this difficult journey. It also is inequitable with fellow Australian citizens of the same socioeconomic status creating enmity and a social force for those who are not of Australian Aboriginal ancestry to seek the same status and with it privilege.
The social force to remain in an assisted state has to be countered by examination
of socialscape and the opportunities available to all citizens within that socialscape
if found to enable achievement of parity which are not being utilised for a
justifiable reason the entitlement is removed. If the present socialscape does
not provide the core requirements to enable parity to occur, education, economic
opportunities the socialscape be examined to ascertain if it is economically feasible
to create the services, employment opportunities if so do so but if not those in
this substandard socialscape are to be encouraged to move to a socialscape
which provide such opportunity.
It is unrealistic and inequitable for non-aboriginal and aboriginal socialscape
with the same social deficits to be treated differently to be given significant
resources to raise their standards of living while others are expected to continue
to suffer the same deficits..
Compulsory schooling pre-school to year 10 whose education curriculum seeks to
equip students with the means to achieve parity by their own efforts not petrified
stasis in the same socialscape preventing parity and opportunity.
Unemployed working age populations must be subject to the same employment seeking
conditions-assistance which apply to all Australians otherwise this becomes
another self-perpetuating enmity and stasis point.
The strategy must be to firstly question every assumption underlying gap amelioration
in particular that those within a system are the best to formulate solutions this
is impossible for they would have already been identified and resolved. Be
honest this must be an outside force utilising data of significant identified gaps
proposing solutions within a system having feedback from those within the system
in so much as it assists solution process. Those in a system cannot be the
final arbitrators of the success of the solution but be involved in determining
what measures will indicate success over time.
Parity means parity of social outcomes and parity of social responsibilities and
benefit.
