[QUOTE="Star*, post: 127356, member: 4964"] Marg, You know - this kinda strikes a nerve with me. If the aboriginal people were there first in Australia - what ever gave the right to anyone else to tell them how to live, or where to live, or what they would be 'given' to live? My family is Native American on my Fathers side. We were never allowed to bring it up, or discuss it because people DO look at you differently. And now when I hear people talking about the influx and horrors of illegal immigration I can not help but sit back and just think - I wonder what Sitting Bull or Standing Bear said when the settlers were moving into their hunting grounds 200 years ago. People on the whole irregardless of race, sex or creed seem anymore to just not think of the other man. It's a shock when you see someone being nice to someone else for no reason. That's a shame. I like what Ghandi said - "If you want to change the world - start with yourself." I think maybe your PM has done just that - and started with himself. Bully for him and Bully for the natives.
