our australian of the year has let us down , page-95

"Europeans, and the governments that have run our country, have raped, killed and stolen"

Why doesn't he mention that the Abo's did exactly the same thing when they were the second Australian's to this continent about 40,000 years ago.

He could mention that his ancestors raped, killed and wiped out an entire species being "Mungo Man"
(an early human inhabitant of the continent of Australia, who is believed to have lived between 68,000 and 40,000 years ago, during the Pleistocene epoch)


Of course any mention of "Mungo Man" means that the Abo's cant claim to be the first Australians, and would probably lose a lot of sympathy to their whining.
