I guess there was a head nod in that direction when they showed the Kiwi flag.

Glad someone else saw that.

The term Aborigine has a Latin root. So yes, OP is right to criticise on the pronunciation of a European word. Many NZers (yes, I am one) and Aussies seem to think Aborigine is an indigenous name like Māori is for the indigenous people of NZ.

@@brettkenyon4679 Aboriginal people simply means the original or earliest people of a land. Aboriginal doesn't only refer to people, there are aboriginal trees or forests, aboriginal vegetation and aboriginal animals Aborigine is a person animal or plant that has been from the land or region from day dot.

They even showed the NZ flag lol

@@Nathan-ry3yu Think they're having a go at us because all the Aussie videos from this channel show the Kiwi flag for Australia and get told off every time.

Ok aussie you can go now 👋🏻

Meanwhile in Australia... It's our summer, and been topping 37C (almost 100F) every day for a week.

So many people have the mistaken belief the Australian winter is just a myth or winter is hot and summer is hotter. The reality hits once they hear the sound of two brass balls fall from their pants and hit the ground.

​@@Reoh0zWas bloody 17° Wednesday and 19° yesterday, lucky if we hit 22° today. Yeh Tuesday was a bit warmer in the 30's and Monday 37° but that's been it and it is summer. A lot of America puts Australia to shame with their summer heat. Wait until you're in the future today and you won't be saying it's always bloody hot knowing it's going to be bloody wet cold and miserable every day until well past Christmas with forecast temps in the low 20's. Perth and Adelaide can get a bit warm most days during summer but most of us get more cool days than hot during summer. Except Queensland, but only if you consider Qld to be worthy of being part of the rest of us, but not equal of course. Darwin, well that's just what Darwin does, gets bloody hot and humid. But we can forgive that and turn a blind eye.

Largest island in the world, home and 4:04 in the morning, humidity high,....

Australia is a kangaroo

Equal citizens? You're kidding, right? How did they go voting or simply being allowed to raise their own children?

Don't fight the kangaroo

I think it is as well as the belief from previous generations experiences that no matter how well qualified or knowledgeable about the job or advertised occupation they are they will have next to no chance of even being considered. Who knows how many potential professors doctors or scientists have been denied the opportunity to cure diseases or create life saving medicines and devices simply because of their race or ancestry.

@@fasteddie9201cannot agree with you more - breaks my heart those be denied consideration due to race

Because it’s politically correct. People who say they are not given jobs due to discrimination are being deceptive or they just aren’t fully informed. In fact Aboriginal specific positions are purposely made available to them. They are entitled to free university, TAFE and other schooling. Also the jobs market often has “this is an aboriginal specific position” jobs, mostly in welfare positions where being aboriginal is the requirement. Aboriginal people also get free fishing gear and lessons and surfing lessons apparently these are “cultural”. So when people want to suggest Australian people are racist please remember that the taxes are freely given to these things and Australian people don’t protest against the money going to the aboriginal peoples, even though some of them could be debatable or questionable in nature, like surf boards and tackle boxes being “cultural”. Indigenous peoples own 50% of Australian land and in my community have sold off lands that were given back to the people. Only a couple of families benefited from their sales and nothing has been resolved for the 13 years since the families had a meeting at my local PCYC about it. Nothing is cut and dry as some people would have you believe. My Aboriginal blood is my right to want better but some of my white relatives would like free university to. They aren’t lesser people. There’s nuance in everything, like level of aboriginal blood, I have a white (Irish) mother. I feel like people think I need special help to be successful. To me, that’s racism in it’s finest form!

@@fasteddie9201Your queries can be answered by statistics, if you want to put in the research. How many aboriginal people are studying a medical, scientific or other degree? How many have completed said degrees? How many jobs were available in what particular timeframe would you be looking at and how many got jobs using the degrees? As training is free to indigenous Australian people, how many have taken advantage of the training? How many filled job specific positions? Before you write such things, shouldn’t you have the statistics to back up your claims? Just writing your opinion isn’t statistically accurate. My friend Angela worked at fair trading for years on a great wage, a job that her aboriginal heritage got her and she now has the luxury of selling her art full time, instead of working because she’s married to an aboriginal doctor! So there’s facts other than what you alluded to be the current situation, unless you can provide evidence to the contrary.

@@augustsnowfall5189 I'm of Aboriginal ancestry but out of principle I have never and will never claim one cent in benifits. I was brought up by a family who loved me and given every opportunity any other kid growing up was given then gained my trade after finishing school. Why should I be singled out and given handouts when my mates I've grown up with are forced to pay? I shouldn't.

Africa isn't a European power. 😉

​​​​​​​​​​​@@LukeC3It could be African if they got themselves together! 😄 The Dutch had 1/2, the French had a slice (but wanted more) the English had only claimed a small cove for a penal colony - nobody had created colonies all over Australia until 1829! Any other country could have made a land bid at that time, it's huge!

Australia couldn't be any more diverse, we have 270 cultures here now!

@jenniferharrison8915 nope. Africa is its own CONTINENT. It's geographically impossible.

That falls under "undesirable exports."

Yes. Aboriginal hunting methods killed indiscriminately and over large swathes of land as they had no control over the flames. They weren’t stable people with houses and cultivated land either, they were nomadic. I don’t know where this guy got his information, probably from that now debunked “Black Emu”? Or something I can’t remember, that white guy , the professor who claims aboriginal heritage but was found to be FOS. So sick of activists lies. It’s literally stealing away from true heritage when people, “activists and wannabes resort to lie about indigenous peoples.

Yes, we are all immigrants! Most are refugees who arrived with nothing but hope and a traumatic history, but WE created a great nation! 🙋🇦🇺💕

They were mostly killed. Those who weren’t died from European diseases

Fine

Without a voice 😢

This millennium they were officially recognized as human beings instead of under the flora and fauna act. That's also about the time the last of them still being denied were granted the right to vote. They make up I think less than 1% of our population, but feature much higher in incarceration statistics, and regularly turn up dead while in custody.

Most of Australia's entitled population recently told us to shut up don't tell them that we know how to level the balance by combining traditional knowledge with modern practices because they don't want to be told how much they've stuffed our land up. Other than that we're still the same proud people without a voice that we've always been. Our fellow county folk ensures that never changes.

Lol probably

The honey badger is here all ready and he's a native species. That bloke with blonde curly hair who played union for the Wallabies and was on a few TV adds. Everyone knows the Honey Badger who was an Aussie Wallaby a couple of years ago, don't they?

You mean the images? Not that much. Probably about 30%, maybe less. The real question is, can you tell which 30%?

You get bored easy

I found this history quite fascinating
