I'm not hearing much about this still except early on a couple of children were killed (unconfirmed that it was by perpatrators covering their tracks) and one appalling story with a drunken couple fighting and the baby being caught in the middle.

It's been very quiet since then. I can confirm that a lot of the public servants volunteering to go out to community won't be missed.

Unfortunately, the drunken couple fighting and baby in the middle happens everywhere, and way too frequently.



I have been hearing various interviews with the woman boss person etc.

They seem to have been on a whirlwind consulat and reassure tour.

Aboriginal Land Councils; True Role Exposed
Aboriginal Land Councils; True Role Exposed

The Aboriginal Land Rights Act was set up to protect Aboriginal culture and to legally establish their place on the Australian landscape. However, the land councils are now the front line in opening up Aboriginal spirit country to globalist mining and the dumping of nuclear waste

I'm pretty sure that this isn't just an election stunt. The ultimate aim is close remote communities down, allow traditional owners to sell their land to the new white colonisers of the wetter parts of northern Australia.

That knobhead who does the poor Jennie Brockie impersonation on the ABC had a panel all nodding their heads about an exodus from the dry southern states to the north only a couple of weeks ago.

Blimey...there's a thing I hadn't thought of.


But South Australia, eg, certainly looks more likely to become unviable as changes on the ground appear to exceed the modelled changes in terms of dryness and heat.

I know some South Australian farmers are buying tracts of Tasmania as a hedge.

I'm in the middle of Jared Diamond's 'Collapse'. Very pertinent.
