Uni assignment i did a few years ago. This is my take on things. I'm sure this will ruffle many feathers. I hope so.

Introduction – Compensatory Justice
Disparities between the standards of living of humans on this planet have long been a part of our history on this planet. From the wealthy nations of the West to the developing and undeveloped nations on this globe, the diversity in the quality of life when viewed from a moral standpoint are without a doubt grossly unfair.
In this paper I will look at why historic injustices do require some form of reparation. I take a strong stance that we are more obliged to solve current injustices than to provide reparation for every act of injustice in the past. In doing this I will first investigate the historic injustice of the Aboriginal people of Australia and I will look at the argument that they are entitled to some form of reparation and why.
I will incoroporate some interesting views from Jeremy Waldron, Robert Nozick and others which will help me slowly build to my conclusion that reparation should be in the form of Non Indigenous Australians surrendering some of our priveleges as a form of reparation.

Historic Injustices to Indigenous Australians:
Australia the continent was well inhabited for many years long before white settlement. It is commonly known that in 1788 Australia was colonised as a country under the rule of the British Empire, with total contempt for the fact that it was already inhabited by a native indigenous race of people.
The way the original inhabitants have been treated, including forced assimilation, execution, stolen families and not even allowed to be recognised as citizens for a large part of white Australia’s history are also well known facts. (Poole, 1999,pp114-142)
There exists now a situation where there is a large divide between Aboriginal and non Aboriginal Australian’s that can be traced back to the moment Australia was invaded by English settlers and the brutal and unfair treatment that has followed.
So at this point now, in 2013 what is the just and fair way to make amends for past actions?
I would argue that a moderate to large amount of reparation is overdue for this nation of people, the Aboriginal people. But there are many challenges to this view point especially that of how much reparation, and what sort of compensation.

Past injustices or present suffering?
One of the questions raised in an issue like this is whether it is better to provide compensation or reparation for past deeds, which have already been done in a previous generation and cannot be changed, or whether it is better to now provide assistance to those who are suffering in their current situations and consider that as a form of moral duty.
To understand this we need to delve a little deeper into this issue and hear some differing viewpoints.
Firstly we need to understand what the best way to provide reparation. How do we judge what is the best way of giving back and how much? Jeremy Waldron states “The historic record has a fragility that consists, …in the sheer contingency of what happened in the past” (Waldron,1992,p5 )
This is saying that we can’t trace every single injustice back to the original act therefore reparation for every act would be almost impossible because it would ultimately be guess work.
In this statement he has an objection from Robert Nozick who believes it is in fact possible to address this problem by “changing the present so that it resembles how the past would have looked had the injustice not taken place” (McKenzie, 2013)
This would be a way to ultimately provide maximum reparation, but is it the correct approach? I believe this is a fairly radical approach, although it does have some merits in the fact it would be working in a positive way for indigenous people, I don’t think it is entirely the right way to deal with these issues but it is on the right track.
Waldron argues that it is based on too many unknowns. “The status of counterfactual reasoning about the exercising of human reasoning of human freedom is unclear”(Waldron 1993,p10)
Which leaves the question somewhat open about the sort of reparation that is required, but provides one clear answer to the key question. Both agree that yes, reparation to some extent is required. But how much and in what form?
Another philosopher who leans more towards Waldron’s views is Kymlicka. He is somewhat more straightforward in his assessment that property rights in particular for Aboriginals would create “massive unfairness” and also he maintains the argument “Aboriginal rights must be grounded in concerns about equality and contemporary disadvantage. (McKenzie, 2013) I agree with both these views but I don’t think they provide any active solutions.

The Solution?
So if its not handing back all of Australia’s land to the original inhabitants that is the most appropriate way to deal with past injustices, then what is?
I look at the current country I grew up in, as a white Australian. I ask myself why I never had Aboriginal friends growing up, no understanding of Aboriginal culture and why my basic understanding of Indigenous Australians is mostly 200 years old. I look at our flag, a symbol of a nation that stole a country from its original inhabitants, with no recognition of the Indigenous people at all on it. I see that Australia considered Indigenous people as less than people until only 40 years ago and I see the way that Indigenous Australians live a completely separate life to the way of life I know as an Australian. I see that the only indigenous politician I am aware of is a former Olympian and it is because of this fact of her sporting status that I know this. I see no collective power or representation of Indigenous Australians and I see non Indigenous Australians,( a culture built on a history of stealing a land and mistreating its people) still taking, taking as much out of this land as they can, with little to no regard of sharing or giving to the original inhabitants. I see a government that says lots of words about ‘closing the gap’ and bringing the living standards of non- indigenous and indigenous Australians closer together, but apart from nice words, there is no conviction, no follow through, just assimilation , and all that still remains are injustices.
As stated by Sparrow, “Continuity gives rise to responsibility on part of present generations of Australians for our history”.(McKenzie,2013). Although deeds happened in the past beyond our control, what we do now to either ignore, or rectify these issues will reflect on us in history. So if we choose to do nothing, we are contributing to the history of the mistreatment of non- indigenous Australians. And this is simply unacceptable in my opinion.

Conclusion
So what is fair? I believe that the way forward is a surrendering of some of our privileges as non- indigenous Australians. The simple fact is it was morally wrong without a doubt what has happened in the past. And it is also morally wrong without a doubt to ignore these facts and not offer some form of reparation in the present. But how much?
I think that going back to Robert Nozick’s argument is a start. I think Nozick is wrong to make the present resemble the past in every aspect. But I do think that it would be reasonable to restore some aspects of the way things should be. The things that happened in the past were out of our control and we can’t go back to changing the way things were. But we could change the way things are.
For some examples. Why not give at least 50% of political power to indigenous people? It surely would be a fair thing to do considering this is their country. Media control. 50 percent. Industry. Realestate. The list goes on. Why do we not acknowledge the indigenous people on our flag, or better still use their flag? Why is Australia still a part of the Commonwealth when it serves little purpose to any of us and serves as a constant reminder to Indigenous Australians that they are still controlled by the original invaders. These to me are fairly simple reparations that would have minimal impact on Australia as a whole. Perhaps, it would alter the way we live but I think it is our responsibility, morally to forfeit some of our privileges for the greater good. Basically a little bit goes a long way.
In closing, it is a fact that a huge injustice occurred to the Indigenous population and suffering continues to this day. There is no easy solution to such a burden of pain. I believe the only solutions are for the non- Indigenous population to take responsibility and sacrifice our own way of life to bring about an overall equality. Sacrifice is not an easy word. But it all comes down to right and wrong. We are in a position to give, in this current generation. What are we so scared to lose, that was never ours in the first place??

It's the final solution oz style TBB.
Maybe they'll turn it into a reality TV show.
Absolutely disgraceful on so many fronts. Makes your gut churn.
Good post as always TBB. Cheers.

Loudest Voice making too much white noise on the North Shore...
Black Hearted Queen Jacinta + head kickers Abbott & Anderson unleash attack dog Mundine...
Libs just voted that Mundine is far too White for North Shore Jewish seat of Bradfield.
Hate them black bastards meter registered at emergency low level of 47.9% pure hatred.
Not quite tipping the hate crime scales in Mundine's favour...bad luck champ!

Jews backed their Holy Armenian Gisele to lock horns with the climatized Green Billed Teal.

Either that or she's bloody so daft to let Dodgiest ever Jew deal slide thru under her Oz watch...Huh!
Likely be rewarded highly for such extraordinary Family rorted dodginess in [L] Party.

Nothing about reparations but a great OZ movie that most wouldn’t have seen. I recorded it years ago and it didn’t catch the end. Now I’ve finally seen it. (now it’s on YouTube)

yep, it's just about being listened to. simple as that. no one give a shit about most things they argue about - in this case a friggin date. it's a callow nation that digs in on technicalities regarding their greatest cultural asset, rather than changing and moving forward together. but hey, what fucking legends, 3% relentlessly giving the 97% the awkward willies. Always was, ain't going nowhere. Happy Aussie Day, all.

Qldurrz join united message..Stoked for Vic Essendon's Aussie of the Year!

Recently uncovered a rather important Oz Day Back Story

Dutto mandates we bankroll the Pom's [ Made in China ] Day Merch
All the While...
[L]iberals paid $20m for Aboriginal Flag in order to ban it...but why do that?

Not tbb or other shoppers could see any [Made in China] Sticker on Aboriginal / TTI merch.
It seemingly implies it's made in Oz?

Seems bizarre but Guess What...tbb was right...
Dutto paid $20m for Aboriginal Flag to be made in Oz with all royalties to flow to First Nation.
https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/jan/25/peter-dutton-reve...

25th Jan 2025 Dutto appoints Indigenous Minister Price as Govt Efficiency Minister.
First and only First Nation trade Mission that Dutto / Price agree on & enacted to date :
Ban Oz Govt's from buying & flying Liberal Govt's mandated only Oz made / designed $20m Flag.
This divisive #1 Anti Oz Trade act will deny First Nation [L] Mandated $20m #1 Income Source.
Meaning ALL Oz Govt's are to be denied & must ban #1 First Nation Income Royalties.
This is an act of #1 Financial Genocide...Procuring First Nation Identity to then Deny Royalties.

When tbb discussed this [Made in China (vs) Oz made] Anomaly in supermarkets...
ALL Shoppers said this to tbb :
"Maybe so...but yer seriously not buying Oz made Abo shit....
They advised to buy the Proud 100% Made in China Pommie shit!"

Obviously tbb just stood blank faced & gulped...just slowly put [L] Oz contraband merch back tbb!
Just pretend ya never saw it or touched it...said now...go sanitize yer hands...fair enough! Holy shit!
Mostly coz at that point tbb still wasn't convinced the Aboriginal Flag was Oz Made...
Well it seems the Govt are stipulating that the Oz Made Logo not be shown...to be hidden! Why!

Diabolical Dutto paid $20m for Oz Made Indigenous Royalties to ban it for his Chinese Masters!
[L] Made in China Fireworks Skyrocket the Polls (vs) [L] Oz Made First Nation Royalties are banned
That's the bizarre truth...KILL KILL KILL first nation Royalties & [L]ick Royal China Extravaganza!
Exactly the same false front as Trump > Despise Chinese Made but Skyrocket Made in China merch!

Q: Does Liberal Govt $20m Aboriginal Flag purchase include mandated Oz Made Sales Royalties?
Now ...C'mon! That is a shit hot [ Made in China Day ] Line in the Sand proposition...Well!

First Nation / TTI Supermarket Flags stickers copyright : Oz [Flagworld]...hides Oz Made logo?
https://www.flagworld.com.au/aboriginal-flag-colours#:~:text=Carroll%20%....
Carroll & Richardson Flagworld / High Quality Products /@\ Australian Made and Owned
Exclusive Licensed Manufacturer and Provider of The Aboriginal Flag / Pennants / Buntings
As part of the Commonwealth Copyright Agreement ALL Royalties from the Copyright are passed on to NAIDOC + Creator's Thomas Scholarship
Read Flying from Olympics / Harbour Bridge / SA Square Mandate + Flown from Govts / Councils

Seemingly Dutto / Jacinta wanna wipe out ALL Royalties flowing to First Nation via NAIDOC
So much so that Liberals are prepared to first buy then mandate the end of #1 First Nation Identity!
Mandated [Made in China] Day gesture by [L] Leaders...KILL KILL KILL all things Australian.

So there ya go...tbb rarely goes to the Supermarket...but when he does he gets an education...Fark!
Feel free to Wave Aussie Made Flags on Aussie day...if only to defy Duttos anti Oz Made mandate.

So about that tbb...
Walls of [L] Media claim ALP are not committed to Oz Day?
Any truth to that...
Citizenships Ceremonies
2016 16,000...390

2024 15,000...320 (Council boycotts Drop)
2025 22,000...430
Scomo / Albo = Oz day Citizenships / Events / Budget all growing
Crew can read ALP on Average is more committed than Slacker Oz Day Liberal Govts
Never set out to prove such...

Council Drop has more to do with sharing the 2.5x Holiday rates cost burden thru the year...
All here know record Migration led to sharing record Citizenship Loads thru cheaper ceremony.
Also that Ceremony officiates faster buck passing from Local volunteers to Fed / Medicare / Voting
Dutto [L] wish for Councils to fund Migration & deny > delay seasonal Enrolment / Medicare to Annual.
Dutto wants annual Mass 2.5x Costly one off Citizenship...to protect growing stale lesser productive Voters.
Again crew know this overcrowds the Quota Massive 2.5x Costly premium cbd costed ceremonies...
[L] provide less Oz day Money than ALP...not gonna happen...
Ask! Where does Dutto commit to Ramp $20m > $50m & when will media bother to ask!
Mass Sale of Oz made Aboriginal Flag Merch Royalties would help pay for it but Dutto forbids it!
Mostly as Younger migrants tend to vote Left...non productive 40+ will vote Security > Safe Seniors [L]

[L] Media must now apologize & reframe the Question...
Will Dutto lift Unstrayan [L] commitment to equal ALP Oz day support.
Will Dutto drop his Anti Oz Day / Oz Made Merch Boycott
Will Dutto Dump his [Made in China] Day Anti Oz Supermarket Mandate
Will Dutto actually spend a dollar on Oz day?

eg: Dutto spends Zero dollars (Samford Oz day is 100% sponsored by Rotary)
Dutto "Presides over" Rotary / Salvos Slaves to fill his Dutto Show Bags
[L] Slave Slogan : [ Working Hard Getting Results ]
https://scontent.fbne6-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/471368598_113308051...

Albo reminds a Vote for Dutto is for "Promised 7th [L] Constitutional Voice Reffo recognition"
Howard / Turnbull / Scomo all clearly Argued for Constitutional recognition +
Same [L] dickheads argue their Gold Plated Oct Reffo was Albo's doing? Huh!
Albo argued to keep the Reffo Generic > Dutto wanted Gold Pamphlets & his school Lunch Wrap.
July [L] Voice Reffo enrolled 2022 [L] Voters (For Rorted Pre Poll Private Reffo)
Oct [L] Alone campaigned for WR costly Gold Standard Voice Reffo
2025 [L] Campaigned for extra 2025 Duel Voice Reffo / Fed Election
2026/27 [L] Campaigned for Electoral Win mid term Voice Reffo
$2b and counting > $4bn [L] promised Gold Voice Reffo commitment & Media grills Albo over 1 cheapie ...Huh!
NO Voters don't Know if they'll vote in all 7 or more [L] Voice Reffos.

Albo reminds [L] Voters that yer Voting for another #6 or #7 or more Voice Reffos..
Think Dutto is campaigning for [Yes] or [No] No idea!
Here's the latest on [L] Dutto's Voice Reffo or not...doesn't really matter...Dutto is full of shit...liar!
[0:30] Even the Sky Interviewer laughs off Dutto's Executive Lunch Mid Term Voice Reffo...

Quote Sam Newman “ if someone hadn’t turned up all those years ago, they’d be nothing here “ spoken like the legendary fuckwit he is . He was gibbering that fast , struggling to get words out, makes me think , he’s on something .

I personally don't feel strongly either way...

Sam : "Go to a sporting function and have someone dressed in a bearskin or whatever it is and Welcome us to country. The AFL are the greatest culprits! When I played Football we never had any welcome to Country!"

truebluebasherSUNDAY, 29 SEP 2024 at 9:11PM

The Interviewer should have simply asked what tunes & celebration are appropriate in Sam's Stadiums.

Each time Sam's Footy Team wins he sings to "Toreador" a French Tune of beastly blood lust sacrifice.
Just ask Sam why he swears allegiance to a French Bullfighting Tune?
Better still...ask why he jokes about the Blood Lust Anthem & turns into a Show Tune...that's fucked up!

Ask Sam if it's appropriate to play French Blood Lust Tune thru Aussie Stadium Speakers each Victory?
Is that appropriate to drum up French Blood Lust Sacrifice in an Aussie sporting arena!

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/0Wek2faE0Ec

Ask Sam : WTF has your devotion to a French Bull Fighting Tune got to do with Australia...you Idiot!

Aussie Welcome to Country has relevance to Australia ...coz we're Aussies not French
Sam's French Le Bullfighting Tune is unaustralian & glorifies Blood Sacrifice!

Ask Sam what we do with foreign French muck that incites Blood Lust > Knock yerself out Champ!

Sam is #1 Aussie Traitor!

tbb motions that a French Blood Lust Anthem should be first to go...
Goes without saying > Aussie Sam would lead the charge for an Aussie AFL tune...
Only! How does Sam share with his beloved Team that they can't sing to French Sacrificial Chant...

Shall we put it to a Vote....

AFL mandate Aussie Ceremony in Aussie Stadiums > Sam's French Blood Lust Anthem has gotta go!

Nope! No one expects Sam to adopt his love of all things Aussie > Sam will defend his French Anthem!
Happy to proven wrong...until that day...
Media + Sam are biggest most cowardly hypocritical Oz traitors of all! Call them out!
Sam is #1 Unaustralian Le Dickhead!

PS : tbb is least offended ...just spinning the bone...all see to Whom it points every single time!
Dump the Act Sam or Dump yer Alien Blood Lust Sacrifice...can't have it both ways you bloody moron!

While i completely agree on every point you make TBB.....its just that....its the bloody Cats theme song. Brought tears to my eyes has that song in the past. Viva Catters!!! But Sam is definitely 'merde'. And that rendition nearly ruined the song for me anyway.
But yeah, completely agree with all the above.

truebluebasher Tuesday, 28 Jan 2025 at 4:55pm

A balding Saltwater Abo bashing part boardriding pickerupperer...
Confession as to why tbb has a natural passion for unravelling Saltwater Surf History...
Authored & presented many papers / Gifts on Saltwater Surf History in Libraries & local.

The rest of the family think all that talk is plain weird & don't really indulge tbb...
Qld Health will waste no time impounding tbb if they know he's dreaming up his shit again...

Weird that tbb was born a twin with slightly darker hair & skin to kin.
Sure...the term Black Sheep of the Family...

tbb's skin grew naturally darker thru childhood into teen years...
Occasionally surprised at just how dark in past photos...(Deep set olive but never black..Ok!)
So much so tbb answered to the name of ABO thru much of my teenage years.

Pause!
tbb would never joke about that...all teens older than tbb called me Abo...even at school
Hey Abo!
Possibly because most First nation were run outta town & low migration > Darker tbb stood out..
So tbb never had any hang ups around Aboriginal Children as other Families clearly did!
In fact it's fair to say athletic tbb preferred hanging with darker skinned/black & disabled kids
In this regard...never thought Abo was a Racial Slur just an Aussie typecast for darker skin.

Pause! tbb knows what a few might be thinking...but tbb is not...Wot! Saltwater!

tbb is the archetypal prodigal bastard Saltwater Hybrid...just crown him Abo...like as if he cares!
Exactly..tbb never wanked off at them Anglo cordial cult inbred shotgun wedding brawls.
tbb was nipper basher/boardrider with dark hair when Saltwatered as longest blonde Aryan locks.
Having "Elder_ _ _ _" as middle name...further blurs the matter.

Only thru midlife > discovery when many born health traits emerged to answer natural disabilities.
But oddly all were unrelated to my family or fairer haired / skin twin sister...

Bros got Skin Cancer & when tbb recently checked the Doc booted me out > Said get...WTF!
tbb had lived several lives under the sun & Doc laughs tbb off...Is that a Saltwater Diagnoses?
Started balding early when fair skin fair headed Viking bros retain full head of hair!
Mum said > Why would I have the the family Viking DC / Celtic Hand...Huh!

Ok! No choice > Started researching : Superfetation / Superfecundation (2 eggs in same cycle!)
Like why tbb's darker skin relates more so to his Uncle & Grandma of Canungra.
Siblings thought tbb had lost the plot...so if not this > then how to explain black sheep tbb!

tbb shared he recently went on a family fact finding secret mission to Cunungra...
Oddly driven by learned Older' Bros Quest to sort Family Property...
Here's the main stop...Wonglepong Pioneer Cemetery { Lea } family grave...
https://canungratimes.com.au/history-wonglepong-cemetery/

Is that any relation to...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lea_%26_Perrins#/media/File:Lea_&_Perrins_...
Yes! Bingo...scroll down fora laugh...
...feel free to read the need for tbb's family > Saltwater Basher'z Balding Lotion
Sea Bathing tonic...for us future balding Lea Grom Basherz...ya wouldn't read about...
Saltwater tonic in the blood...
Pause : Weird how this world of Saltwater Tonic Pamphlets is long part of tbb's family history.

What about the Canungra { Lea } Boardriding Legacy...that's his son...
Great Uncle Springboarder died from High Buttress wipeout...bled out in Lawyer Vines...dead set!

Also weird that the bloke cousins have granddaughter (tbb's) niece/s with similar disabling traits.

Related Lea Family offspring likewise run the College in tbb's town of Reedy Creek...& get this...
They run rubbish pickerupperer programs alongside tbb's solo Reedy Creek pickeruppering passion.
tbb recently involved / rewarded his kid's old school in such...just this summer...as a family legacy!
Green HeArt (tbb's Official City name) Bush Craft Kit...for ceremonial City emblematic awards.

Ok tbb but what about this Dark Skin link...
Pioneer Lea hired an attractive Aboriginal Lass and well...we got a blended family...
It's now less obvious so far down the line...
But both tbb's Maternal / Paternal uncles suggest it's likely why theirs & tbb's skin is darker.

Weird how it skips within each & even switches between twin births
Almost as if two entities entwined to live harmonious as one but not blended as one being.
Suggesting that either of tbb's kids have a chance of a Saltwater offspring alongside siblings!

Here's the weirdest flip...tbb sat with older near Albino nordic Bro + 2 slightly dark skinned Uncles.
Fact : tbb bears the darkest skin link to Grandma Lea > Further Back up to Saltwater Canungra.

All then weirdly revealed this...won't say in which order or who but...
When filling out forms...they box tick Identify as First Nation or Unsure...
This was put to tbb to do likewise & another close family member wishes to...others think it's cool.

So that leaves the darkest skin tbb that Family called Abo as not identifying as First Nation.

Can see why tbb is sharing...
Because : First Nation reconciliation comes more natural to tbb than all others in the family.
And that is clearly apparent to crew & any joining our family...tbb will harmonize or excuse Mob.

But tbb sat pondering why only he of all extended family is equally respectful of First Nation.

Ok! This next passage must be read with Qld in mind...as a ruling factor!
Can't find another of near/extended family to share brotherly love of local Saltwater...
My own family shut me up & request me to remove First Nation association from own home.
tbb fears to speak in own home of First Nation it gets heated and tbb is hounded down...
With family even directing tbb not to enter stores & premises of other nationalities...
Some even recite the classics...

None here wanna believe their family is racist and it breaks yer heart.
But tbb is first to argue it's typical in Qld...none are shocked by tbb sharing this!
Reasoning...
tbb will merge closest with Saltwater > therefore more likely a victim of Saltwater crime.
Brothers are / were employed on frontline Alcohol Crime & detain mob violence!

So each reach a defaulted level of racism to tolerate Saltwater relevance in each setting.
Loud Pissed Shelia is Ok to set BBQ race rant...'Yeah! But not as yer neighbour'...
(Instant Relief!) All goes Quiet...Feel better Now! Fuck Yeah! All know how low to go!

Qldurrz chorus we're not dreamers purely to drown out our racial overtone...ya get it!
If we proudly embrace our dumbarse Qldurr tag then Australia excuses our Police State racism.
Like them Qldurrz sure are racist...54321 no one gives a shit? Already exempted us by association!
Like > Voldemort is Evil and...[L] Polls Skyrocket...well durr!

Just feel tbb has reached a point of sharing local truth as foremost, if he is to continue here.
If crew wanna believe what they feel...that tbb is / was always local saltwater then fine.
No one needs to prove they're Aboriginal...simply feeling free to be, is good enough for tbb.

Abo tbb is not living in denial & is ever proud to speak, learn & share more of local Saltwater.
Happily further seek out local saltwater to share local mob association.
But know enough to know many local Mob were switched so absorbing into local Mob...
Well that's always gonna be guesswork unless tbb goes all in...to involve other saltwater families.

It seems to come natural to tbb & all now see that may well be a birth rite...but never claimed such.
The fact is tbb oddly immerses in the first moment of greeting...so that must have relevance.
Always drawn to meeting of worlds ...possibly relates to this pioneering kindred spirit.
Saltwater was in our blood forever therefore mixed easier with local saltwater = a truebluebasher.
Never felt otherwise...lock that in...gotta learn more about saltwater from day one then to now.

A balding Saltwater Abo bashing part boardriding pickerupperer...was always tbb's destiny!
Despite the fact that tbb was born a twin...ya can't escape yer past forging yer future self.
Blown away by past revelation shaping tbb's unfathomobile...respect dreamtime that imagined it!
Just how tbb's mixed saltwater drives heartfelt compassion...that's a testament to Dreamtime

truebluebasher Tuesday, 28 Jan 2025 at 8:02pm

So funny...it gets weirder the further tbb unravels...
Like this...
Around 1974 is when tbb felt he presented darkest by hair & skin tone...
11 y/o Pretty much a skinny brown kid that could be regarded as Abo...the reason why!
Same time tbb was mostly hanging for longest time with an Aboriginal Boy...
After school this boy's Aboriginal sister's main job to count my tips from Paper Round...
We were the darkest worker's in town to be seen on regular dutiful basis...
And there we were hived into a closeted corner...ink all over me hands / arms
Counting & rationing the lowest coin value 1c / 2c pieces as this our worth to the town.

Like who else would bother...does yer head in now still...seeing that little worth as yer lot...
Day after day...how fucking soul destroying...
Then let the dark kid pedal thru the night slinging papers...the irony is not lost!
Qld Police State Cop pulls me over for what...being too dark in the night!
If tbb wasn't Aboriginal...bloody well should've been...that was me miserable lot!
About as close to child slavery as ya get from then on...be thankful tbb was black!
Be a crime otherwise!

You've had a pretty wild life so far by the sound of it.

truebluebasher Wednesday, 29 Jan 2025 at 10:19am

Wild times...and yes goofyfoot way too much to write about...
All are Goldie topics > Started out writing Merrimac town History with Misses...
Then we moved onto "Invisible City" Tourism Map/Sign Reviews-Docs >

tbb ... crafted presentations on First Refuge-Contact > Surf Rescues > Royal Visits
Handcrafted Folders of pocketed Bush Crafted Stationary...Postcards / Bookmarks / Emblems / Notes.
Did receive thank You letter for First Contact #1-3 Oz Surf Postcards of contraband #1 Oz surfcraft.

Moved into Youth Cults
Qld/N'NSW Skating Rinks > Stoked with Heritage Rink owners replies...sad, went out feeling proud.
tbb felt the need to promote heritage rinks to keep in the game...they soon folded but were respected.
Printed up Iconic retro Postcards / Stationary Writing Paper packs / their own Stamps stoked they were!
Skateboarding...several editions with Postcards / sketches > as 'Instant' Comp prizes > needs more...
Goes like hot cakes this stuff does...handed out rough misprints to Park gromz...so stoked they are! Wow!

More like each presentation is adaptable & accessible as a reward...rather than Books!
Was an artist for a Muso that wished tbb could knock up her CD covers...much prefer this our star said...
Each are individually handcrafted no too are alike & each handling reshapes our own history.
Handed out 1,000's & very few would know...tbb promises all will feel more alive each time...our secret!

Pain, more so disability shelved > Bodysurfing > 1900's Bands > Punkzines
Surf Rafting > Reedy Creek History
So not a book as such > prefer more personal relatable intro Pamphlets but even that is a stretch.
Mostly craft Emblematic Floral Thank You keepsakes for those saving my life all too often...it's a life!

All sits gathering dust...too painful to shift paper about & draw maps'n'sketches.
Hurts too much to suck up deep breaths > open & close hands > move & such.
Too much time being zonked out unable to move me body about...
World gets smaller by the day > hour > minute...
Letter box is weekly > shops now months & months apart...
Mostly presents to others as end of world disaster emergency ration recovery missions than shopping...
Old Ladies even point & joke about it...& mums stare as if tbb is a freak...
See some Hairy Bear outta hibernation raidin' the store with blood leaking & bandages hanging off...
Yesterday hobbled thru the 7/11 servo undercover in a hat to hide me stitched up bandaged bloody ear...
Couldn't partake in the Supermarket 50km marathon maze quest to inner sanctum Milk fridge vault.
Been isolating for 5 years...in the sarcophagus...not planning on any epic exotic disabled [P] bay safaris.

When tbb discovered swellnet it was a lifesaver...Sharing here...is the best therapy & keep saying that!
Keeps tbb involved in society & in the game...salute swellnet frontline lifeline support crew...that's you!
Needed #1swellnet frontline / lifeline a week back there was help at hand within a few minutes...
