On his first day in the Senate, WA Liberal Ross Lightfoot said -
"Aboriginals in their native state were the lowest colour on the
civilisation spectrum."

Where does the Liberal party find these people? Remember they also found
Pauline Hanson as well! The newly appointed Senator's remark shows
breath
taking arrogance. Here we have a civilisation that lived in Australia
for 30,000 plus years, in harmony with the environment, without
pollution, mortgages, stress, or environmental degradation, without loss
of native fauna species etc etc etc - and this turkey is arrogant enough
to basically call them the lowest form of life.

No Senator, it is you that is showing your lack of civilisation and your
lack of the big picture by making such a biased, insensitive and
appallingly ethno-centric remark! You should resign immediately.

And while I'm at it, what about his party's refusal to apologise or
compensate for the aboriginal kids stolen from their parents over a
period of some 60 years? Haven't they heard of the concept of collective
responsibility? If we wrongly jail someone, the community has a
collective responsibility to compensate that person (even many years
after the event) - and we do. 

However what the Libs are currently saying is that if we remove children
from their family, force them into a completely different and alien
culture, expose some of them to abuse from foster parents etc - then we
as a community we don't have ANY collective responsibily for the actions
of our society and for the effect that this horrendous action has on
them!  

Why don't we have a collective responsibility to compensate for the
shameful acts that our society has committed on these children? We might
have thought it was right to send someone to jail if we thought 
(at the time) they were a murderer. However the minute we realise we
were wrong we compensate them.  Why not the same with aboriginals or any
other group?
