Return to launch of Pauline Hanson's One Nation I am not racist. I have lived among real aborigineds in the Northern Territory. Ooops! that wasn't very politically correct. I am scrutinising my family tree - I am hoping beyond all hope that I can find some aboriginal link. If so, then I will be an aboriginal too, and will qualify for Abstudy and low interest loans from ATSIC.
By the way, Aborigines were cannibalistic, at least on occasions. When I lived in Nhulunbuy, NT, I attended the United Church. One member of the congregation, then working for the Department of Aboriginal Affairs, is now a very prominent Aboriginal ATSIC representative. He is seen almost nightly on the news (Native Title Extinguishment etc.). He once spoke to the whole congregation about his experience as a little boy after the Caledon Bay massacre. A Japanese fishing boat was moored, and aborigines attacked and killed the crew, and had a cannibal feast . This prominent aborigine partook of that feast.
I was present when he addressed the congregation. I saw and heard his recount this event. The Caledon Bay massacre is undoubtedly recorded beyond question.
Now, when Ms Hanson mentions cannibalism, she is a racist, "inventing" a fantasy to stirr up racial hatred. Actually, I think the VSOP aborigines are the stirrers. (Cognac conniseurs will understand.) When we discuss Hitler's Final Solution, are we being racist against all Germans?
