Privileged black man threatens violence
Mick Dodson is a very privileged person. He has qualifications most Australians could never aspire to, and he has reaped the benefit with largesse and a public profile almost all Australians will never enjoy. For all that, though, his stock-in-trade is sour grapes.
Thomas Sowell wrote, in Academics and Race, that there is a common pattern in modern history where minority intellectuals, rather than advocating practical means for minorities to advance, have instead “resented having to advance”, preferring to adopt an attitude of perpetual grievance. Instead of adopting those norms and practices which have enabled the success of the majority culture, resentful intellectuals – almost always educated in the “soft“ fields, rather than say engineering or the sciences, become obsessed with promoting minority languages and culture. The result is almost always social fragmentation and ethnic polarisation.
Instead of leading their peoples to success and social harmony, agrees academic Donald L. Horowitz, ethnic “elites…were commonly found to be in the forefront of ethnic conflict”.
“The intelligentsia in many countries around the world,” says Sowell. “Have played a central role in promoting intergroup and international animosities and atrocities”
In Australia, Aboriginal academics likewise stoke the fires of resentment and division. Quote:
Simmering anger in indigenous Australia over a failure to make good for past wrongs could easily turn into organised armed resistance, Aboriginal academic Mick Dodson has warned.
In launching a new thriller by former journalist and political staffer Peter Cotton, Professor Dodson said the book’s central premise — Aboriginal activist gangs working to topple the state and seize back the land stolen from them — was “fiction but let’s not be negligent and one day it becomes reality”.End of quote.
Sounds like a veiled threat, to me: hand over your money, whitefella, or else … Quote:
Professor Dodson, a former Australian of the Year, was struck on reading the book by the thought “I know these characters, I’ve met them — the blackfellas and the whitefellas”, and felt it captured the “unsatisfied anger” of indigenous Australia over historical and ongoing dispossession, and the lack of an adequate place at the modern political table.
“Unsatisfied anger is something throughout history that’s caused conflict; generally speaking, anger as an emotion is in most instances justified (and) in Dead Heat I see such a plausible scenario,” he said. End of quote.
This is reckless, divisive nonsense. “Anger as an emotion” is justified? This is a blatant effort to condone violence. This is the same argument made by jihadists blowing up teenage girls at pop concerts. It’s the same argument made by violent demagogues everywhere: we’re resentful, and someone deserves to get hurt.
But, as Albert Camus wrote, those who “take up arms in the name of justice […] take a step toward injustice”.
The claim that Aboriginal Australians “lack […] an adequate place at the modern political table” is also bunkum. Federal MPs claiming to be Aboriginal, or with Aboriginal ancestry, easily outnumber their non-Aboriginal peers on a per capita basis. In some jurisdictions, such as the Northern Territory or the ACT, the number of Aboriginal MPs per head of population is almost double that of non-Aboriginals.
Australia also spends more than twice as much per person on Aboriginal Australians than it does on non-Aborigines. Australia spends $45000 on every Aboriginal Australian. By contrast, non-Aboriginal spending is just $18000.
Dodson also peddles the lie that everything that every Australian enjoys was somehow directly stolen from Aborigines. Quote:
“The benefits that we enjoy today come from the dispossession of the indigenous people of this country — dispossession of land and language and culture, our kids and our resources. End of quote.
This is nonsense. The benefits we all enjoy today come in large part from the ingenuity and hard work of the people, non-Aboriginal and Aboriginal alike, who worked to build the nation. The culture that Dodson laments not only did little for the material prosperity of Aboriginal Australians, it also perpetuated millennia of violence against women and children particularly.
Dodson also persists with peddling the racist hobby-horse, the so-called “Indigenous voice to parliament”. Quote:
“We try and say ‘Well (Malcolm) Turnbull, here’s a way forward with the Uluru Statement from the Heart’ and the door is slammed in your face. End of quote.
As well it should. Aboriginal Australians have a voice to parliament: it’s called a “vote”. The numbers show that Aboriginal Australians get more bang for their vote than the rest of us. As Warren Mundine argues, “once you start putting race into it, have you still got a democracy? Don’t you have to have people treated as equal?”
Demanding extra privileges solely on the basis of race is not only, well, racist, it’s divisive and dangerous. Demanding them with veiled threats of violence is unconscionable.
A very worthwhile read of this article by Lushington D. Brady on August 3, 2018
Who is Lushington D. Brady?
Well, a pseudonym. Obviously.
But the name Lushington Dalrymple Brady has been chosen carefully. Not only for the sum of its overall mien of seedy gentility, reminiscent perhaps of a slightly disreputable gentlemen of letters, but also for its parts, each of which borrows from the name of a Vandemonian of more-or-less fame (or notoriety) who represents some admirable quality which will hopefully animate the persona of Lushington D. Brady.

Andrew Bolt: we must get real on Aboriginal affairs
Andrew Bolt blasts ‘disastrous leftist ideology’ in Indigenous policy
Sky News host Andrew Bolt says Australia has been doing the “wrong thing” with Indigenous policy due to “disastrous leftist ideology”. “Never in my life have I seen this kind of lawlessness, this total breakdown of order in some Aboriginal communities,” Mr Bolt said. “All those tens of billions of dollars we spend on Aboriginal Australians every year … and this is what we get, in Alice Springs, for instance? “Liberal Senator Kerryn Liddell, who was born there, was asking almost all the right questions today. “The one question she didn’t ask is, where were the parents of these children?”

1971 Farm at Denmark, Western Australia
I had gone south in WA to find a property to begin life as a vigneron. I looked at several properties around Mt Barker but none fitted my requirements and then the real estate agent took me to Denmark and showed me a property I had promised myself six years before that I would buy it if given the option.
Read the story here of the William Bay property
These photos are of the view from the farm.
I am a considerably different to my current appearance. What a difference half a century makes.
The car was an XA Falcon. You will not see these on the road because Ford made a huge mistake when it constructed them. The bog they put at the joints in the body promoted rust. When the car was three years old I took it to a Ford dealer and the mechanic picked up a huge screwdriver and poked at half a dozen places in the body. Places he knew what to expect. And unfortunately each time the screwdriver went through the metal. EACH TIME. The body was a rust bucket. This was in the days of letters and Ford managed to ignore them all. These days a class action would have all owners compensated for the junk.
The flowers were in the 40 acres that were still bush. Obviously a delight walking through it to discover all of them.
The cows were mine and the calves but their daddy was from John Smith, Alice’s husband; the woman I bought the property from. The one in the yard was found to have brucellosis which resulted in the farm being put in quarantine.
When I returned to WA for the Jaycees conference in 1979 mum and I went down to the farm. You can see her there. The trees I had planted had grown a lot but I found so had the value of the farm so I put it on the market.
26th January celebration
Australia Day reminds us of the tremendous job our forefathers did in travelling half way around the world in little ships to a completely undeveloped land with any potential help months away so with the very real possibility of extinction before it arrived.
The local people were known to not be a threat because when Captain Cook had spent a short time here eight years before he had not been able to communicate with them because they always ran away.
But there was no support for life in the form of crops or shelter. Nothing. The local people had not developed the land in the least. Everything necessary for life had to be introduced by the new arrivals.
Over the next sixty years convicts were brought to Sydney to provide labour for the growing of crops and building of houses and roads and bridges and anything else necessary for life as it was experienced in the lands the newcomers had come from.
Many free settlers came as well to develop their own patch of Australia.
Governor Phillip offered the locals the same help given to convicts who had served their term but only one of them took up his offer to work.
Sheep had been introduced to the country which provided the locals as a diversion from their dull life by them running around killing as many as they could which naturally upset the shepherds who on occasion acted to protect their flocks.
Hence the development of the country Australia was a result of the efforts and skills of the new arrivals. Those who were here when the new folk came were no help at all.
On the basis of Australians having been responsible for making Australia the home it is at present the local people do not have the right to be included in the group Australians.
There are also people occupying the country who have recently been given shelter from events in the land they were brought up in. Some of these people insist on behaving here as they would if they were in their original location. Such behaviour is sometimes completely unacceptable and if, after sufficient warnings about its status they continue to behave in an unAustralian manner, they should be returned to their place of origin.
Which brings us back to the locals who were here originally but had done nothing to make Australia what it now is. So what had they been doing for sixty thousand years?
Walkabout is all they did here. Not everywhere but over their patch of the country in their small group. Hence there were many small, independent groups. They were killed if they ventured into another folks land. Or they killed them if they wanted more country. They did not invent one thing in sixty thousand years. Not one. They ate what they could dig up or kill which included some large, slow creatures here when they arrived. They were the antithesis of conservationists. Current admiration of their way of life and a culture that promoted no change for sixty thousand years is just another example of the stupidity of our flock of politicians and why I am sorry my daughter has not engaged in The Family of All Life Alliance and taken over running the country so that I can once more be proud of my and my ancestors country of birth.
So Australians, celebrate your Australia Day and ignore those who were here and did not contribute to our Australia.
The locals life before the First Fleet
Help Australian Aboriginals celebrate the 26th January in the manner of before the First Fleet.
Help Aboriginal communities return to their state before 1788.
In each community you will help them
Destroy their houses.
Destroy electricity supplies.
Destroy their water supplies.
Destroy their vehicles.
Burn all their clothes.
Bury all their food.
Destroy all their cooking utensils.
Provide them with some spears.
Provide them with some stone tools.
Australia will thank you, particularly the taxpayer who is currently spending billions each year to improve the lot of Aboriginals without them responding with any thanks.
The Aboriginals will thank you for freeing them from the imposition of a foreign culture and returning them to their life before the Governor arrived.
Aboriginals will be happy that they will no longer be in a position to sing this song.
I Love the Governor
I love my car
Walking was the pits
I love my house
My humpy was not warm
I love McDonalds
Kangaroos are just too hard to catch
I love a Boags
Which can be a problem
I love my tele
Talking is good but pictures beat it
I love my phone
Smoke signals aren’t as good
It was all from Governor Phillip
Coming here back in 1788
That I no longer just walk
That I no longer am stone age man
He changed me to modern man
