Western Australia are introducing a law in which anyone on 1100m2 of land will need to obtain a permit from “an Aboriginal person who is recognised within their community as being senior and as having higher levels of knowledge, expertise, skills and authority in relation to [Aboriginal cultural heritage]” — can charge up to $160 an hour, or $1200 per day.” in order to do anything in which soil is ‘disturbed’ at a depth of greater than 50cm.

So anyone digging fence holes or pulling up tree stumps or rocks needs to get one of a tiny handful of Aboriginal inspectors to come and check the activity and give a permit once they’re convinced it won’t disturb cultural heritage.

💯 guaranteed be a racket to shakedown landowners, anyone who proceeds without a permit will have the full weight of the State imposed upon them.

This is what leftism gets you. And they want Australia to constitutionally create a body to parliament with no rules around it for Aboriginal people…

That's the only positive, I'm gonna keep on diggin.

They won’t need to enforce it - the leftists in the community who called crimestoppers on people who weren’t wearing masks or broke lockdown rules will do all the heavy lifting for them.

This is going to result in extortion, corruption and bribes. Hope the authorities will be monitoring things carefully to make sure landowners don't get cornholed really badly.

😂😂😂 they'll end up in the holes.....

The rate at which governments are losing their minds is insane, here in South Africa, they are pushing for farmers having specific water rights based on the amount of black people they employ in higher positions, whatever that means

Its nuts!

Lots of Saffers here in Aus, had coffee with one today and the other guys at the table couldn’t believe that the power is now effectively being rationed and doesn’t run 24x7.

Seems you’re a lot further down the path than us but our leftist governments are also determined to bring race in to politics.

My state has already introduced $100k reparations for Aborigines: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-03-03/compensation-for-victorian-aboriginals-stolen-generations/100877160

They get what they vote. I met my oldest Aussie friends more than 20 years ago, in college, and they were already outlandishly leftist, in the bad, current sense of the word.

Ecogreenfemo-fascists in the making, just that even they seemed to think that it was just a youth phase and that the crazies would never really take over. Mostly a typical case of very affluent white Anglo kids posturing.

Boy were we all fucking wrong about it.

Lunacy, we've lost our minds.

Is this one of those “new biz model for Chat GPT” posts?

Always Was, Always Will Be Aboriginal Land

Their lands were conquered.

You don’t get to keep the land when you’ve had your arse handed to you by an invading force, that’s some eat pray love hippie bullshit which runs counter to thousands of years of human history from every corner of the globe.

I hear you, the assertion that land rights are invalid due conquest overlooks all peoples inherent right to self determination. Your position perpetuates a misconception that has been used to justify colonisation throughout history. Dismissing the consequences of dispossession is a choice to perpetuate discrimination and and for systemic racism.

I’m not justifying colonisation but rather acknowledging reality.

People have been dispossessed of lands for Millenia, only in the last few decades and only in the West has a small portion of society (always leftists) decided that they’re going to guilt trip everyone over this and demand recompense for these historical injustices.

They can never say where the lines should be drawn though, they’re always completely arbitrary and ideologically driven.

And of course they never take into account the consequences for their idiot notions. The Weimar hyperinflation was a direct result of Germany being unable to pay the reparations set forth after WWI, and the collapse of Weimar is directly what led to the Nazis rise to power - but these leftists would happily recommence the same procedure again to make themselves feel good about nonsensical “systemic racism” because they can’t stand the fact that the world is unfair and shit happens.

Yes, reality is people have experienced dispossession, oppression… domination, conquering and there is no fixed line in contemporary discussions of historical unfairness, shit or power. Discussions around these topics with objective principles, still requires interpretations and perspectives. I’m sure there were numerous contributors to the rise of fascism, and not quite an oversimplification, cause and effect result post 1920’s. This law introduced in 2021, excludes like for like, eg. planting posts or fence etc for the small farm if that’s what they’ve always done. This is about requiring consultation for new mining, water or infrastructure. A conversation with representatives of the 3000th or so generation of the land inhabitants might be more fruitful that what people fear.

This is how I know you’re not a serious person:

“I’m sure there were numerous contributors to the rise of fascism, and not quite an oversimplification, cause and effect result post 1920’s.”

I give you historical facts that took a lot of time and triangulation of viewpoints to learn, these are neutral true statements. You retort with baseless disagreement because you like reparations, don’t know any better, and don’t want to learn.

My position is oriented around reason and facts, yours is purely feelings and emotions.

You’ve never been to an aboriginal community much less lived in one, I can tell as someone who spent years in these places. Your entire worldview was spoonfed to you. It’s not based on learning and experience and testing hypotheses and challenging what you’re told, it’s ideology wrapped in stunted emotional development.

Leftism has turned you into an NPC. I’m sure you’re not a bad person but there’s no there, there. You’re a parrot repeating feel-good slogans because you’re not capable of more and that’s fine, but you’re not worth responding to any further.

It’s perfectly legitimate that we have different perspectives, including Human rights. It also seems unlikely that we could reach a consensus. However, I’ll point to a few assumptions in your previous statements.

Firstly, it is an unsubstantiated to claim that my worldview is solely based on ideology and emotions. As you, I’ve also taken many hours, years to learn about different viewpoints and examine historical facts. I acknowledge that interpretations and perspectives play a role in discussions, but that doesn’t negate the importance of empathy and understanding when it comes to historical injustices.

Secondly, assuming that I have never been to an Aboriginal community or lived in one is incorrect. While I may not have the same experiences as you, this doesn’t invalidate my perspective or diminish the value of the knowledge I’ve gained through research and engaging with diverse communities.

Lastly, characterizing me as an NPC or someone incapable of critical thinking based on a few exchanged statements is speculative and perhaps negligent. We can have differing opinions without resorting to personal attacks .

Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land… is not only about an imperialist view of ownership or property.

Here’s a NZ example of what ia conversation could lead to for Western Australia

Yeah things could be worse than idiocracy and we should have know it

You will dig 49cm and be happy

Govt is parasitic by nature. This is how they feed themselves 🤮
