Really had that crowd in the palm of her hand! An orator she isn't. Spose she means well

Had to laugh at Pauline last night - saw her on the the tv telling some young Aboriginal kids she was indigenous too cos she was born in Qld. They laughed too. Saying youre indigenous because you were born here is like saying rabbits are native animals because they were born here. (Please dont Google a dictionary definition and post it to prove a point).

Um.....no.....that’s not even close to a decent analogy.
Bit like us paying for the wrongs of our ancestors. That’s bulls**t for sure.
Keep calm......and hold centre of mass.

Considering what has been done to her over the years, I reckon she’s the toughest politician going around. Ya gotta admire her guts. She’s probably the only Queensland senator in parliament that actually represents and fights for Queenslanders.

Sorry Tank don't follow you - Indigenous does not equal born here - I'm not sure what you mean about paying for our ancestors' wrongs - Why do you bring that into the equation. I don't feel any personal guilt for what my ancestors did and nor do I have any personal pride in what they may have done either. Acknowledgement, however, is another story.
BTW I think the rabbit analogy is spot on for those caucasians who insist they are indigenous because they were born here - talk about identity politics - SAD

Tbh in this day and age, if Pauline self identifies herself as an aborigine, who am I or you to make a fuss. I mean she wanted she could identify as a man and by law we cannot do anything about it..... maybe that's why she wrote that speech.... I mean he has written that speech

Pauline is the only leader pushing for water reform, new dams, and farmers.

The Nationals are hiding (sound of crickets at dusk), SFFP made big noises in the election campaign but have done SFA since (we knew it was all BS), and the Libs are do obsessed with surpluses and the insanity of the measures released so far are stunning.

On arguing about black or white or indigenous, the sooner the Woke see everyone as equal, and so do those with the big chips on their shoulders, the sooner equality will happen. White, yellow, black, all the same. It's only the attitudes that are holding some back.
