Oh and LOL to all the southern Australians who get their knickers caught up in a knot when someone devalues their sacred cow that is the AFL. The good thing is, you can keep it down there

that rugby league was boring
How can Malcolm Turnbull, in good conscience, front up to a party he doesn't believe in, every single day?
We should all be very deeply ashamed.
I didn't mention anything about the working/ruling classes. Not sure what that has to do with it.
Plenty of racist working class people who mistreated/continue to mistreat aboriginal Australians.

Tonight on Dumb Drunk & Racist I learned about the Myall Creek massacre. I'd never even heard of the place - and yet I spent countless hours learning about Burke & Wills, and their expedition that was by and large a monumental failure. They abused aboriginals along the way as well. In fact the amount I know about indigenous culture is something I'm very embarrassed about.

Don't blame me, I wasn't part of this.
But to be honest, I'm not sure why you, the worker, should be ashamed, that's for the ruling classes, but they don't care.
Who was it that mistreated the Aboriginal population?
Same specious logic used to justify not apologising to the Stolen Generation - unless you're relying on your Belarussian origins here.
