why do we have to endure lies like the Highmarch Bridge, and the Stolen
Generation. Why do we give so much attention to people like Noal Person, who
at best is a racist.

Does any body know of the first team to beat England in cricket.
Does anybody know who Harold Blair was.
Does anybody know of the Jindyworobak Movement
Does any body know who Leonard Watters was

What about this poem from WW11

It doesn't fit in with the way we are led to believe relations to be between
the diggers.

"THE COLOURED DIGGER"

He came and joined the colours, when the War God's anvil rang,

He took up modern weapons to replace his boomerang,

He waited for no call-up, he didn't need a push,

He came in from the stations, and the townships of the bush.

He helped when help was wanting, just because he wasn't deaf;

He is right amongst the columns of the fighting A.I.F.

He is always there when wanted, with his Owen gun or Bren,

He is in the forward area, the place where men are men.

He proved he's still a warrior, in action not afraid,

He faced the blasting red hot fire from mortar and grenade;

He didn't mind when food was low, or we were getting thin,

He didn't growl or worry then, he'd cheer us with his grin.

He'd heard us talk democracy--, They preach it to his face--

Yet knows that in our Federal House there's no one of his race.

He feels we push his kinsmen out, where cities do not reach,

And Parliament has yet to hear the Abo's maiden speech.

One day he'll leave the Army, then join the League he shall,

And he hope's we'll give a better deal to the Aboriginal.

(By Sapper Bert Beros, a non-Aboriginal soldier in World War Two. Written
about an Aboriginal soldier, Private West).


History will look back upon the selfish and spiteful politicly correct
people of today with shame along with the Narzis, Chairman Moa's henchmen,
macarthyits, and the witch hunters of Salem

As most real aboes will tell you, the PC brigade and the professional

Netiquette-related apology to all for not snipping this poem, but
I think it deserves rereading by all. Men like Private West do more
for race relations than the pollies and the PC brigade.

Does anyone know what happened to Beros and West?

"First team"? Do you have your question right? Missing adjective, perhaps?

And I'm continually (if not continuously) surprised your
"superior intellect" can't manage to arrange looking up the answers
to your probably mis-stated homework problems even more quickly
than it takes you to frame them properly.

BTW, "England" was "probably" playing cricket before 1868.

We are to assume unsupported allegations, your homework questions and

A-hah!

I'm beginning to see why "Hilter invented carpet bombing"

England never lost a test until An Aboriginal team went over and beat them,

Mmm. Typical establishment arseholing.

You said it was `many years' before he got the vote. Can you tell us whether
it was a citizenship award as with, say, Robert Tudawalli, or did he have
to wait for the referendum in the sixties?

Thanks, Soapbox.

Pretty good.. the language is a bit overblown ("War God's Anvil rang") but
that is typical of the times. (As is the title)

But its a good poem, in my view.
Probably the best thing you've posted in all the time I've known you..
I don't think Dave Moss would agree with the sentiments though..
not selfish enough.
But then, blackfellas have a tradition of sharing,

Ode to Feminism, lost causes, and the girls that Che has known

She's on your arm, a blaze of light,
Taking inventory who is there.
The ones who are her type
Know they're her type.
She hitched a ride with you
Up the stairs.

The sisterhood,
their cause is good.
I support these Aussie women.
I've settled down,
don't fool around.
Asian food is good.

Coming in from the station..?

Do you think its politically unacceptable?

I mean what I said.
I am sure the only Australian poet I have praised on this
NG (apart from recent comments about Banjo (Patterson
not Clarke)) was Les Murray for his "Crying Man".
Now Les, the 'redneck', hardly has a reputation for PC, does he?

I don't judge art by it's political pedigree.
If you want boring PC art try Socialist realism,
or commercial TV advertisements.. both appalling
in different ways.

No, a stereotype would be "*all* blackfellas share"
to say there is a 'tradition of sharing' is a simple fact,
(there isn't a society on earth without 'a tradition of
sharing'.. is there?)

a poem! for me? people will talk!

Thanks Mos..
the 'blaze of light' was very good, prescient even..

..her name is Helen.. from "Helios" .. the Sun.

warm, bright, dazzling, etched upon my my retina

.. sunshine.

---------------
Paradise Valley

This is my dreaming
these old worn hills in Gippsland
these gentle green mounds
with scars of ancient rock

From the hilltop at dawn
shadows begin to move
turn into grazing kangaroos
then back into silent shadows

Just before sunrise the wind picks up
bending the sound of the river below
sometimes carrying it up to me
sometimes carrying it away
now like the ocean
now like a distant car
now the rattle of train wheels
bending and curling on the breeze.

Rabbits browse nervously, cows rise
from their sheltered corner of the valley
and scatter down the river flat
Sheep clamber over the rocky saddle to await the sun

Light touches the tip of westward mountains
smokey browns and gold
and dips down into yellow pastures

a crow chants 'awake' on the edge of hearing,
at the horizon of sound.
A pair of rosellas flash upstream
passing a sacred ibis going the other way.

At first the air is colder than the river.
Dancing vapour plumes rise from its surface
and join to form a local fog

Sheep are crying
Cows lowing and clearing their throats

grass gently sways

dew glistens

a lone grey thumper traverses a distant slope

Trees are dappled reflections in the river
impressionist life mocking art.

Don't let anyone tell you you're not quick, lightnin. ;-)
