Here's a link to the recent thread about dispossession, Terra nullius and the Stolen Generations: BS: Great White Father knows best...?

Rowan, anyone can do blue clickies nowadays! Didn't used to be so simple, but now Mudcat has that lovely link to the right of the "Submit Message" button that says "Make a link ('blue clicky')". To make a clicky to another Mudcat thread, just follow that link. When the blickifier page opens, paste in the URL of the thread you want to link to (in this case, http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=102703), click the "Create Link" button, copy the resulting HTML, go back to the window where you're typing your message, and paste teh HTML into your message.

Sorry to hear that this censorship is happening down there, Rowan. It's terrible when politicians use schools as a battlefield for their issues. In the US there have been similar conflicts over official apologies to the African-American population for the enslavement of their ancestors, in part because of calls for economic reparations from the government (state and/or federal) and/or corporations to be paid to that population. Seems that opposition to the apologies themselves is slowly crumbling, though, and the cries for reparation seem to be quieter for now. Maybe the opposition to a "Sorry" in Oz will deteriorate as well -- I hope so!
