At school my son got more help than aboriginal students because he needed it.You say:
Put it this way, as an older Australian I have never been able to not enter or do something due to what and who I am, a white Caucasian.
Are we living in the same country:
Can i as a white male eat a dugong?
My son get the same amount of study help as an aboriginal boy?
There is a legal or supposed to be legal discrimination based on race heresupposely for the good, the positive discrimination so liked by us liberals..
It would be if this was only based on his skin colour and not his personal level of problemsAt school my son got more help than aboriginal students because he needed it.
Is it "discrimination" you are talking about? Like why there are so many women who are federal Ministers of the Crown....
That is still not "racism". Please check a decent dictionary.It would be if this was only based on his skin colour and not his personal level of problems.
That's so funny Ann.Now I am coming onto this thread to voice a concern which may in time have serious repercussions for a particular ethnic group. Nearly every day I am being phoned by people who either have or are adopting an Indian accent. The calls are those which are meant to dupe you into a scam.
That's so funny Ann.
Last week I got a call from a Chinese person saying I was going to jail for something or rather unless I paid a lot of money to fix the problem. I wish I had recorded it - it was clearly meant to frighten other Chinese-speakers who may have done something that fell into their catch-all net - I was laughing, but I realise this sucks-in so many gullible people..
Ten years ago a business colleague (with a Masters qual.) was scammed by Nigerians to the tune of $20000 - I was in utter disbelief.
Last year the Irish were up to their old tricks again, local to us.
Meanwhile, because I did some consumer surveys a number of years ago (never again), I get a daily stream of emails from across the world with any number of embedded scams. I'm not to keen on "unsubscribing" as once the process sent me somewhere and locked-down my PC.
What a condescending dumb reply.That is still not "racism". Please check a decent dictionary.
I agree with you about speed boats killing dugong, and sea turtles dying due to polluted oceans - we should be collectively ashamed.
You should educate yourself better so you do not make basic mistakes in an argument.What a condescending dumb reply.
So having privileges based only on your ethnicity is not racism?
Thanks Joe for the ignore function

For example, dugongs are prospering in the Torres Strait where most are being taken on cultural grounds, while the same cannot be said for the remainder of the eastern coast of Queensland.
The big difference is that Australia's indigenous peoples were brilliant custodians of the land and seas, never taking more than they needed and their practices went back tens of thousands of years.So we can end up with one law for some and another law for others ? Indigenous people can kill and eat wildlife for "cultural reasons" while others cannot ? So maybe the Japanese can kill whales because it's part of their culture ?
Once you get into cultural laws our society start to break apart, and peculiarities of particular cultures are condoned, like child/arranged marriages which reasonable people should be vocally opposed to but we just let it slip by.
Conflating cultural practices beyond survival/ecological sustainability is a distraction.
But they no longer need to kill endangered species to survive, so maybe it's the indigenous people who need the education.
Then get the States/Territories to change their legislation.But they no longer need to kill endangered species to survive, so maybe it's the indigenous people who need the education.
Oh really? Megafauna anyone?The big difference is that Australia's indigenous peoples were brilliant custodians of the land and seas, never taking more than they needed and their practices went back tens of thousands of years.

“I can’t separate the 26th of January from the fact that my brothers are more likely to go to jail than they are to go to school,” she said on this morning’s show.
“Or that my little sisters and my mum are more likely to be beaten and raped than anyone else’s sisters or mum.
There is no discrimination in Australian schools as far I know.
If Aboriginal kids don't go to school its much more likely that their parents don't send them than any other reason.
By their aboriginal fathers/husbands ?
