I was pretty sad today,not disappointed but sad ,because we have seen it over and over the last 200 years or more.
We have become immuned to the racism ,the exploitation ,the stolen generation, and the theft of land from the indigenous people of this country.
I was saddened today by a protest organised by the first people of this country to have their protest moved on by 50 Queensland police in riot gear so that they would not cause embarrassment to 2 young members of an English family .
Every politician in this country will defend the right to protest peacefully whether they mean it or not, but the indigenous people do not have the same right when conveying a message to this privileged couple who have as much royal blood as I have gold dust up my nose.
Charlie’s sprog will never be evident in the DNA of Wills or Eddie yet we regard them as something special .
We leave the issue of Charlie’s sprog to the butlers and body guards of Buckingham palace
Dianna was a lovely women who consumed the dysfunctional genes of the royal family, but ran away with the son of a middle eastern shopkeeper and forgot to put a seat belt on.
But for all my cynical bitter and twisted attitude ,(because I’ve been lied to so often) I was shocked to learn that Kate was wearing a dress from an Australian designer yesterday and that made it all O.K .
It excused this couple for the genocide that the original people of this country have suffered by their long distant relatives
We forgave her for what the family she married into had done to the original people of this land simply because she was wearing a dress designed in Australia
Kate was wearing an original designed dress styled in this country so we could all of a sudden love and admire her and yet it was probably sewn in the garage of a family under sweat shop conditions.
We have to make a important decision here ,are the original people of this land allowed to protest about the theft of their land ,or are the forces of this government allowed to silence their protest.
If I were a person with aboriginal blood or a supporter I know where my allegiance lay, and it would not be with 2 people that don’t understand the poverty and degradation endured by these people .
And the last thing I would be swayed by is that fact that one of them was wearing a dress designed in Australia . We are bigger and more adult than that but ,I know people that work with the disadvantaged ,the poor ,the homeless who were over the moon to find out that Kate had a dress designed and made in Australia .
If only the fawning could solve some of the problems of poverty ,homelessness and racism, I would be glad to do a bit of cross dressing with the young Eddie who likes to dress up as a nazi brown shirt and indulge in a bit of rough sex
Please grow up ,and stop telling your children that they can be a prince or princess unless they are willing to sell their soul .
Even if Australia votes to become a republic these 2 bob poms will still be what they are ,a drain on society ,dole bludgers a drain on the tax payers of this country .
If you are happy to support these 2 , then don’t ever complain about your fellow Australians being in receipt of government support.

We were close to loosing ties with these pricks before ‘little Johnny’ rose to the top. I watched this unfold on 7 and the only thing the ‘commentators’ could say was that these protestors were spoiling the day for the losers that turned out to see them. The media is too post-modern for me these days.
