Its Australia Day Downunder, and people will be Celebrating in the streets..
And as usual...
Millions of un suspecting Sausages will be ....
Sacrificed..
There will be enough beer consumed to...
literally build...
several boats...
And sink them.
And how could I almost forget...
The Age Old Tradition of...
The Age Old Tradition of...
A very popular sport in the North
I Know... it is rather Gross.
There will be much celebration on the beaches...
And Houseboys...
In uniform every where..
Racing....
And even posing...
Which is not all that unusual...
Eventually Naked....
And getting up to their usual hijinx.
However, dispite all the...
Fireworks...
And National Self Flagilation
Princess has a delimma....
I prefer to refer the 26th of Janurary
As "Invasion Day"
On behalf of our original owners and First Nation People.
Australia has a rich indigenous history that has almost been obliterated by white mans invasion.
The current Map of Australia looks like this...
The Original Map of Australia "Pre Invasion" looked like this...
Each colour on the map represents separate Indigenous Nations each with their own traditions and culture.
In times past The Indigenous Population was included in the National Census poll under the heading of
"Cattle and Livestock"
Charming I think Not!
Finally gaining full Federal Voting Rights in 1967
Government Propoganda would have us believe this....
When the reality is....
This...
And This..
In many of the remote communities.
And what they want us to Celebrate is stereotypical images like this...
And this is only the "tip of the iceberg" of my levels of disgust
The difference in life expectancy between Indigenous and Non Indegenous Australians is 17 years.
A recent UN investigatoin into indigenous policy in Australia deemed that we failed to meet many of the criteria in regard to health, housing, land rights
and social justice and human rights.
Happy Invasion Day!
What is there to Celebrate??
"Mother, Pass me the Bottle"
