Howard best PM for Aborigines: Abbott (1 Viewer)

[Zrap]

John Howard did more for indigenous people than any other prime minister, opposition frontbencher Tony Abbott says.
Mr Howard was the only living former prime minister absent from yesterday's parliamentary apology to Australia's indigenous peoples.
He refused to say sorry to the stolen generations while in office between 1996 and 2007.
Mr Rudd described all his predecessors, except Mr Howard, as great friends of the Aboriginal people.
Mr Abbott, the opposition's indigenous affairs spokesman, said it was appropriate for Mr Howard to be taking some time off rather than witness the apology.
"He was a great prime minister, a great leader and he changed Australia dramatically for the better," Mr Abbott told reporters in Canberra.
"I believe no Australian prime minister has done more for Aboriginal people, in practical terms, than John Howard.
"After 11-and-a-half very difficult years as prime minister, I think the guy's entitled to a bit of time out."

ROFL Abbott, your a fool.

I don't see what is hilarious.

Read it. 'done more for Aboriginal people, in practical terms'.

Think about it. That means implementing practical solutions. Not this bullshit symbolic crap that a day later hasn't changed a thing.

You Labor hacks suck at life. You think Ruddkip is so much more different than Howard? Wake up, he is a carbon copy. Only difference is, Ruddkip knows how to appease minorities. And idiots.

 

[Zrap]

Rofl the fact that in 11 years he could have done
so much more.
And an intervention (invasion) wouldn't even be required.
GREAT PM...

Like what. Apologise?

Just imagine he did apologise when he first took the reigns.
Most likely life would be better for the aboriginals as observed by
the emotion shown by the apology.
and there would be none of these threads in BOS (yay).
But he didn't.
Infrastructure to stabilise the society
Improve education by providing more teachers or better pay for rural teachers and educational facilities so
they could be more educated and equal to the white race.
Health facilities to improve life expectancy but that's more like
under education, as they would be more educated about health, and the use
of health facilities. etc

Stabilise the society.
So you admit that they're socially unstable.

Now we're getting somewhere.

 

[Zrap]

Yes, due to inequity and inequality of their lifestyle.

Katie: You say that previous Prime Ministers (I assume that includes all since 1969 or so) haven't done as much as Howard. I'm no expert of Aboriginal affairs, because quite frankly, I find it dull. Do you have any evidence to suggest this, or is it blind Howardism?

 

[ZabZu]

The Howard Government made it harder for Aborigines to claim land as Native Title. If you want details look up the 10 point plan. I think the changes were made in 1998.

 

[Gay Captain]

Which of the following prime ministers sent in the army to save Aboriginal communities from raep and violence?

a) Whitlam
b) Fraser
c) Hawke
d) Ron Paul
e) John W. Howard

If you answered a-d, you're WRONG

Therefore those Prime Ministers all condoned rape. Only one statesman had the vision and determination to make the tough decisions to save our indigenous population. And that man was John Howard.

Truly ahead of his time, which is all the more remarkable considering he was stuck in the 50s and so he had to be at least 50 years further ahead of his time than anyone else trying to be ahead of their time.

I said that did I?

[boris]

Yes.

I was quoting Abbott you dumbass. If you look you'll see I put practical in italics, meaning that was the bit I was highlighting.

 

[Gay Captain]

he only realised they were being raped cos there was an election in a few months. as if no one knew it was happening beforehand. if he was truly ahead of his time, he would have found the problem earlier.

He was still the first to do it
