      he is the undisputed best Australian song writer of all time, not the best guitarist or singer but his contribution to Australian music is far greater than the sum of it's parts.. He pioneered so much, his political activism and first nations rights recognition work is truly an inspiration! From little things, big things Grow!

      That is lovely. However he chose to use his power to support a bigger issue. It's not Paul Kelly we need to commend here. It's the strength of the minority he gave a light to. It's a hard history to hear. But this is the best it's ever been put. Especially on a commercial level. Always was. Always will be.

    I am not of the first people as you surely must be; but I have felt like this for more than half a century. Australia voted to retain the English monarchy who all bathed like ghouls in the rivers of blood they caused so they can plunder the innocent and live in multiple palaces. I felt then that Indigenous is the last honourable thing to be in this magnificent country. I still feel that way. Keep up the feeling and the passion, brothers. You are not alone.

    To all of our First Nations people who have endured so much to this day and sadly still are, there are no words that could ever make up for the horrors of this dark and terrible history. BIG LOVE! Always was always will be!
    I love my 2 boys and those that fell before them ❤️🖤💛
    I also thank my grandmother for teaching me about the truth of what happened to our indigenous people, she was born in 1916, passed in 2000 and was the most progressive self educated person who was decades ahead of the time.
    She would be so proud of the world we live in today and the steps society has taken so far to highlight these feelings and issues, although there’s a very long way to go and nothing will ever make what happened go away or stop the pain she would be elated to know that the voices that count are being heard!

      @@MrBen51309 nice pick on the grammar! No, it's about recognising that the land was taken or stolen? My understanding is that they want recognition, and some lands back for their own cultural purposes and significance. The Australian first people's are still the most disadvantaged indigenous peoples worldwide, have the highest incarceration rate and racism is still rife. I see it every day, my partner is indigenous and my son is part indigenous heritage. It goes alot deeper than what is taught or spoken about, this is what Ziggy is saying. I once was racist, until I was educated by George Vilafor! An amazing indigenous barrister who showed me an amazing culture and the truth about their history and current disadvantage. It's about the preservation of their culture, the importance of protecting sites (fuck you RIO TINTO!)and recognising the Damage done and that continues to happen. I educate my daughter on the indigenous history and the truth about racism which is still rife.
      Her favourite song is A.B.ORIGINALS dumb things with Paul Kelly!

Probably you were amazed at how the knowledge of how to make and throw the boomerangs has been passed down, and you have an appreciation for that to this day. Yes it may have been "touristy", but how do you teach many people in brief engaging ways about an unfamiliar culture. I think that is one way, and I don't think it's bad thing. I think there are wrong ways to do it, but overall I think sharing cultural knowledge and experience is good, and I don't think you should feel ashamed for having been there. And people doing that may use it as a springboard to learn more, and become better advocates for positive change.

    Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples culture and achievement is nothing short of breathtaking. The oldest living continuous culture in human history. Their culture is complex, incredibly deep, spiritual, advanced, balanced, humane, emotionally intelligent, beautiful. You should not ever have to deal with deaths in custody or any kind of oppression, ever, you are incredible and to take your children away, as well as your lands, as a father I cannot fathom this but also can understand the deep hurt you feel for the Stolen Generations and also stealing your lands 'there can never be justice on our stolen land' so damn right Ziggy, speak to your truth brother and I will follow. This stuff should not happen anywhere, ever surely. I urge people to take a deep dive into this incredible culture and reach out to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and walk with them. Help heal the tremendous hurt thrust upon them, which they never asked for or wanted, and which they still deal with daily. I acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land Australia, I pay my respects to their culture, beliefs, customs, kinship, their unbelievable stewardship of, and deep connection to, the lands, waterways, flora and fauna in which they lived, learnt, played and thrived. I pay my respects to their elders and leaders, past, present and emerging from which I will always learn.

      The 'Uluru statement from the heart' is a good place to start - though I'd read further or go yarn with people at rallies or events in your city/community. I know that there's First Nations people in Meanjin who believe that the Uluru statement doesn't go far enough to prevent colonists from continuing to destroy their lands.

      Give the land back for a start, and stop lying about our history. Acknowledge the massacres, the pain, the ongoing genocide. Stop stealing First Nations children from their families and their culture. Abolish police. Build 1 million public houses. And make jobseeker a liveable rate.

      @@oldsalem1528 I love my hip hop but the beat is different so you can't run your rhymes the same way that might appease your sound drums. That was more poetry than anything else and it was brilliant. Not sure what you mean by distracting unless you just like Paul Kelly and hate the hip hop genre. It is what it is.

      Being born here doesn't make it yr land & I'm not sure what u mean when u say u appreciate the past. This song is about the Doctrine of Discovery & how the land was stolen & its original inhabitants weren't even seen as human. Also talks about the Royal Commission into Deaths in Custody. Barely any of its recommendations were adopted & aboriginal people are still dying at alarming rates (not just in prison either). What's to appreciate?

      @@jadecawdellsmith4009 Invasion day first happened about 60,000 years ago when a race of dark skinned people from Africa (the Negrito's) invaded the untouched Australian continent via a land bridge and imposed themselves on the this land. They were followed by the fairer skinned Murrians from Asia with more robust physical features who invaded the land about 20,000 years ago. The Murrian's are believed to have committed genocide on a Pygmy race offshoot of the Negritos and forced them up into North Queensland and eventually into extinction. Then the finer featured dark skinned Carpentarian's came from Africa about 15,000 years ago and imposed themselves on central Australia. As you can see there is no such thing as a single race of people called the Australian Aboriginals. However, by the 1960s the Negrito's had all but been wiped from history by activists who found it more convenient to have everyone believe that Australia's earlier occupants were a single Pan Aboriginal race. In the end Australia's human population had already suffered at least 2 invasions before the Anglo Saxons came on January 26th, 1788.

If it inspires education & treatment facilities regarding alcohol abuse or family violence,again,good. Not enough govt money is funnelled into the remote communities where these things are needed. Communities all over the country r screaming out for resources to tackle these issues but its hard to get the $$ & even harder to get the right people there to fill the few positions there are. Safe houses for women & families fleeing violence r also severely lacking. People in community can only do so much themselves

      Spot on Ben, and this is what I was getting at in my other comment on this video (see above). If we continue to aggravate past injustices and divide people against one another (white/ black, coloniser/ victim) etc. then nothing will change in the decades to come and nobody will be better off, save for a select few who seek to maintain power and wealth and influence from the problems not getting any better. It's what I love about the song 'I am, you are Australian'.

      Honestly what is your point. If people can't prove or take responsibility for themselves without blaming non indigenous for their problems, or hurt that wasn't even caused by them there isnt much hope is there. Just an endless cycle of blame and funding and complaining it's not being spent correctly. The answer always comes from within, how about parents encouraging their kids to improve band take every opportunity they can. As I was tought life is what you make of it
