Little people gather under the shadow of Ming
Good thing Malcolm is walking tall at the G20. Whilst he’s away the real leadership of the Liberal party have been hard at it. Working hard on repealing the discriminatory anti discrimination section 18c, and whist there at it, doing something seriously good about the vexed issue of Aboriginal Australia.
The former PM for Aboriginal Australia, Mr Tony Abbott, proclaimed; ‘We don’t need a Treaty’. The other former PM for Aboriginal Australia John Howard, elaborated; “ A treaty would be a disaster for Australia”.
John Howard; ” and besides what’s the point of a treaty when we’ve got such fabulously well healed donors to assist us in looking after our mutual interests’
Mr Howard enthused; What’s the point of having a treaty. We’re already Australians, and just because we dispossessed, plundered, raped, murdered and defiled their nation, culture and spirit doesn’t earn THEM the respect accorded by a treaty. Not only would it be a a flaming great disaster, but have you ever heard anything as silly as a nation having a treaty with itself? I ask you? It aint right. Just because a few malcontents in the Aboriginal first nation, (derisive sneer, and off side chuckle) can’t get over it, doesn’t mean we should give serious consideration. Besides they should be happy, the rate of incarceration has gone through the roof, and at this rate all of em will be processed by the criminal justice system. And that’s good economics. You look at it from any perspective, they get three square meals a day, telly, and a swimming pool. They never got that before 1788, and unlikely to see it by 2088 unless we give em a hand. They can’t help themselves so why should we dignify them with the respect of treaty. And besides though you cant have treaty within your nation we did invade em during the intervention and they didn’t have the courtesy to thank us. It’s pathetic ingratitude.
Why do we need a treaty? We’ve got their land, mineral wealth, and environment, kept intact for thousands of years, and we aint through with fucking it yet, though i’m impressed with our efforts so far. Treaty Schmeaty’!!
Alexander Downer; ‘If that’s how a little piss-pot state like East Timor responds to our even- handedness, then it aint nothing to what might happen if a treaty was signed with THEM’!
On hand to assist the deep thinkers within the Liberal Party was the former Foreign Minister who gave some succinct and dispassionate advice; ‘I’ve got to tell you blokes are all heart. There’s a couple of technical fundamentals associated with a treaty no one is gonna like. For a start, the bugging. We spent millions on training our operatives to pretend to be builders on the East Timor treaty. We then had to spend millions on interpreters, communications equipment, satellite link ups and not to mention the higher paid echelons of the signals directorate, to nut the treaty through. And when it was all over, you wouldn’t read about, they complain to the UN and say we’re not paying cricket,and playing by the rules. We wrote the bloody rule-book, and now they’re having a go. We saved em from virtual genocide after we left em to rot and now they want more. If that’s how a little piss-pot state like East Timor responds to our even- handedness, then it aint nothing to what might happen if a treaty was signed with THEM’!
Have you asked them? We enquired ‘Yes we asked Noel Pearson. Says he can get us a pro-forma treaty from a university somewhere in the states, same one as worked with the North American first nations. As Norm said, if it aint broke, don’t fix it’.
