    The Cricket Thread

    Re: The Official Cricket Thread Marsh was not opening, nor was his place in question heading into the series. It would have been Cowan, Warner or Ponting that would have forced to make way.

    POLITICAL TRAP: Gillard, Abbott hide from angry protesters

    Oh yeah doing something, why didn't I or the governments past and present think of just "doing something". The whole problem could be reversed over night if we just start "doing something." Because there is this lever arch file full of silver bullet solutions to the problem that can be...

    POLITICAL TRAP: Gillard, Abbott hide from angry protesters

    Ok, I apologize I thought you were just being provocative, in my defense you do have form. I agree with a lot of what you've said, in terms of government policy you're definitely right that the most effective way of achieving tangible outcomes for Indigenous Australians is working with roe...

    You're saying this as those you hold a more tolerant and conciliatory standpoint than them though

    POLITICAL TRAP: Gillard, Abbott hide from angry protesters

    It's a consensus that "something bad happened", but how many people do you think hold the view that "aborigines have it pretty good". That non indigenous Australians have already made more than adequate reparations etc?

    Sorry if I'm not telling you exactly what you want to here Tully but I find it difficult to engage this issue seriously with someone who once told me she'd be happy if all indigenous people were just pushed out to sea in leaky boats and told to find their own way.

    I'm saying Bolt and his kind deny the atrocities of the past. Hell SylvesterBr moments ago said that it was good for them.

    Tennis and Bruce McAvaney

    I read it, it is infinitely more complicated than you represent it to be, and not yet proven. And that makes his work as a journalist of a lesser standard how?

    Who brought the diseases? Who brought the alcohol? Who took the children away from their mothers and fathers? Who committed the murders and the false incrimination's?
