Anything beyond grandparents doesn't actually count as an ethnic identity, only ancestry, or heritage as you say.

Australians have Aboriginal Heritage everyone just needs to stop carrying on about it either way. ie to be Australian. No one is part anything. Australian is an ethnicity.

Pascoe is a greedy go-getter

Just like in America when some people claim Native American ancestry with the intentions of getting free government money, aid and assistance. Refusing a DNA test is what it is knowing that records and documentation are difficult to obtain.

@@mikespike2099 As an Indigenous male I'd like to reply to this.. yes there are schemes to advantage Indigenous people and progress them but for the life of me I am not able to access them, and so few that I know have. You see the vast majority of the time the schemes are delegated by whites who are actually prejudiced toward the indigenous, and like you both have pointed out, would rather hand those benefits off to whites. It would not bother me one bit if whites were screaming to shut down the majority of indigenous schemes, infact I would be right there supporting you, because its not the indigenous benefiting from them

they also have a dedicated, toll free phone line to contact Centrelink where they get through immediately. The rest of us have to pay, and can be on hold for 2 hours or more. We don't do Indigenous people (or the rest of us) any favours by infantilising them, treating them as perpetual victims or a privileged class.

He does look like depictions of Saturn/ chronos, just missing his scythe and a half eaten baby.

I agree, I worked in a social services org and they had aboriginal girlfriends who would enable their anglo-aussie partners to become aboriginal so they could get extra benefits and priority housing. When the couples broke up the anglo-aussie would continue to claim aboriginal benefits because the partner had signed a form that he was part of her mob ... he could carry that paper around everywhere.

Know what you mean: my response In answer to your question on how can he sit in that room and still say he is of Aboriginal decent - listen to his words they tell how - I "IDENTIFY" and that is how many get away with putting down they identify because that is what is asked when you fill out a form "DO YOU IDENTIFY" as a Torrens Straight Islander or Aboriginal. There is NO REAL MEANS TEST because they see it as RACIST to have to prove their heritage, yet the rest of us must do so. My cousin was of Aboriginal decent (R.I.P) part blood and she was held as a highly respected Elder due to all her contributions to the community. I was once told I should claim as Aboriginal myself because all I needed was for them (a group of Aboriginals I worked with at the time, and it was them who suggest it) to agree I was Aboriginal :? I could not do that as I am White, French, Irish decent and it was a lie one which I was uncomfortable doing knowing it would be fraudulent. My cousin was part Aboriginal as my Mothers sister who was on the French side did at one stage marry an Aboriginal, hence my 1st cousin's and her children (my second cousins) could claim they were Aboriginal. Trust me when I say there are many benefits for being Aboriginal that they were entitled to including buying houses, higher educational programs along with many other benefits which they use until this day. They suffered none of the past that the original Aboriginals who were here when white settlement happened and like many today as they lived a white life style, no stigma from being Aboriginal - but they cling on to the past history to benefit many, many of them today who have never even thought of applying to be identified as Aboriginal until they know how much they could benefit and ride the coat tails as to say on the back of past history events. So yes maybe heritage checks are the best way forward for those of mixed blood (one must remember though if I IDENTIFY as French do you think that is enough without checks they would just grant me a French passport?) - I mean lets not impose that on those who are obviously not lying about their heritage as that is easy to see who is those who are of true Aboriginal decent - common sense must prevail here but so there also should be a means to confirm the authenticity, to prevent those who are abusing the system and bringing disgrace to the Aboriginal community with fraudulent conduct and stealing the benefits that are in place to assists the Aboriginal community.

@@mikespike2099 and in the same regard, just as whites are card carrying members of indigenous tribes there are some indigenous folk are outcast from their tribal groups and denied their indigenous status. They can be dark and blatantly obvious they are indigenous, but if they have stood up against shenanigans in their tribal groups corporation their status gets revoked for speaking against the corruption. Now they have to prove their indigenous status which by Australian Standards doesnt exist without association with the larger tribal group! These individuals have grown up with the same poverty, the same social setbacks as most other indigenous and would even be at a worse disadvantage being ostracized from their family group and lacking what little family support indigenous families provide. I am one of those individuals and have spoken against corruption within indigenous corporations.. and yes I even have my letter here on file telling me my indigenous status has been revoked.. please show me even one person of European descent who has any such letter telling them their genetic history has been overturned by popular opinion.. its doesnt happen, and it sounds completely ridiculous because it is.. imagine it, a letter telling you that you are no longer white.. that a group of your peers had considered it and your parentage was overturned by popular opinion/vote

I have a Time Life book on Australia published in 1965. Australian population was 90% AngloCeltic (British Isles), 9% European and less than 1% ‘others’ including Asian (mostly Chinese) and Aboriginal. Even 77,000 aborigines is a very high Estimated number considering in 1965 the Australian population was 11,388,000.

The number has grown as the $ paymets thrown at aboriginals have.

Hi, . @Wyatt Family . Do you mean that they saw all the dollar signs, figgered it out, and started reproducing like crazy????????????????????????? LOL.

​@@ian7033-qj9wg too right. DNA testing people is a waste of money. Extra aboriginal benefits serve two purposes for the government. One is to divide the conquered whites against the conquered blacks. The other is to make their victims dependant on their oppressors via finance and aid.
