Been thinking about this racism thing (notwithstanding that race might not be a valid construct).
If we define racism as the recognition and different treatment of different races, is all racism bad? Can there be neutral and good racism?
Governments implicitly endorse such a concept with land rights, indigenous recognition in the constitution, affirmative action etc (whether or not these are truly for the greater good or not).
The $4.8 million salary was stated in this report

Muslim or not, that's far too much for that position. The PM gets half a million.
I think it is the definition of the words "inferior" and "superior" that are the problem, not whether particular races have particular characteristics.
If you compare Western Europeans to Indigenous Australians and say that the Europeans are superior because of their technology then you also have to consider the adverse effects of that technology, and while the aboriginals did not embrace technology they survived without creating pollution or nuclear weapons so the judgement of superiority in that comparison is a matter of opinion rather than fact.
It pales in comparison to some others, Bob Iger Ceo of The Walt Disney Company earned $44.5 Million last year, But the Ideas he has had have set the company up to earn probably 50 Billion over the next 5 - 7 years, so as a share holder I don't mind
There's a joke about the civilised guy working hard all year, saved up over two so he can take a few weeks off...
But then that kind of lifestyle meant no gun or gunpowder to shooo the civilisers away right?
true for native title
but in that case you would agree that indigenous specific welfare or help is a clear manifestation of racism, to be deemed so inferior to the rest of Australian that you need special treatment or help, based on a % of recognised native blood whether you are born in sydney or in a NT bush, with a surgeon dad or a single mother on welfare.
as you can read thru, I am firmly against race based discrimination, positive or not as positiove discrimination is obviously straight discrimination against the "others" whatever colour of skin, place of birth or footy team they supports
Here is an interesting video about bible claims and archeology by James Randi.Were those the millions on examing the Shroud of Turin? Or that's another attempt at not feeding the poor?
I remember watching those docu way back then where scientist/archeologist go searching the bottom of the Red Sea for evidence that Moses and the Hebrew walked it. I remember the evidence they came up with was they've found some pot and broken plates or utensils dating back to around those time - so I guess conclusion was the sea did part and they didn't kinda sail over it or something.
Anyway, might go back watching DaVinci Code to see how the female lead there was descended from Christ again.
yea but AusPost loses money under him though.
But I guess it's no big deal compared to those banking CEOs who bankrupted their company but walked away with some $160 million and some $200 million pay in their last year.

Google defines racism as - the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races

What else would we expect from a Jewish man, who has to deny the messiah has come.
The audacity of that snippet is to admit to different races, which biologically kind limits the argument to appearance.
Survival of the fattest maybe ?

I don't know the Australia post story, but I know it's a difficult business, just because it's losing money under him now doesn't mean he is not performing, he might be in the middle of a great turn around, who knows, it's up to the board to decide.
Also, Australia post has certain services it must run that lose money, so again a small loss or a break even might be a big victory for their business model.
He isn't Jewish, He is an atheist.

Is Jewish a race?
No he's a Jew through and through... that's what they do as the original human decepticons, tell fibs and parade them as humanitarian truths.
As I mentioned earlier their is no such thing as race, it's just artificial categories we place people in based on the colour of their skin and the region their ancestors were from.Is Jewish a race?
