What I am saying is that the system is still corrupt. It is also biased against Indigenous Australians. The representative for the corrupt and biased system is the mainstream media which is nothing more than an information mill to control how people think. Fix that and then folks may start to wake up.
What the British govt and the royal family have done, be it dealing in opium, plundering other countries is nothing to do with your heritage unless you want it to be. The Royal family are not even British.
What Rudd did was a start. What Gough Whitlam did was a start. What Malcolm Fraser did by distancing himself from the bigotry of the counterfeit conservative Liberal Party and resigning in disgust was a bold statement.
BTW: Actually seeing someone made accountable (Not in your lifetime buddy say some) for Australia's dirty shame of "Deaths in Custody" would be two steps in the right direction.
Now I am confused. You wrote in message 18...
"Before any anthem can be considered there needs to be a re-discovery of actual history. There also needs to be an awakening. People should know about the conquorer and who and what they really were."
Do you really think the indigenous people are upset about British history involving opium and plundering? They are upset about their history where the "conqueror" invaded their country, murdered their people and stole their land. And they are equally upset that some current Australians are proud to be associated with this history and feel no shame.
If there needs to be an "awakening' then we need to focus on "actual history" and recognise what and who the "conquerors" really were. We will never be "One" if we cannot understand Australian history from the experiences of the indigenous people.
