They did - and kept right on removing "endangered" kids from their families.

Not here either, the kids are/were endangered. White kids get removed from
their folks too - but per capita black kids are more "endangered".

Well, they're fucked then. They have not adapted at all well.

All of the above concepts are found in that other great "christian" country -
USA.

Fuck the aboriginal gods - along with Roy's gods. I have no fear of other
peoples' imaginations.

No stone, just observations... Of course, I am sin free...

If you can afford the fare - and prepared to leave your WMD at home, you can
visit.

Minimal flies here in the cities, that's an "outback" thing. We have a few
mssies but screening the windows fixes them.

I am not a sports fan (well, other than bedroom sport but that's a different
thread).

Not all Australians are obsessed with sport (nor all Kiwis for that matter).
