Push for Aboriginal ID tests by indigenous leaders

A landmark finding disqualifying a claim of Aboriginality by a former senior NSW public servant has led to indigenous leaders calling for tougher identity checks amid warnings that “fake Aborigines’’ are involved in widespread rorting of benefits, government jobs and contracts.

Oh dear, remember racist Andrew Bolt and the 18C case?

 

 

 

"In September 2010, nine individuals commenced legal proceedings in the Federal Court against Bolt and the <i>Herald Sun</i> over two posts on Bolt's blog. The nine sued over posts titled "It's so hip to be black", "White is the New Black" and "White Fellas in the Black". The articles suggested it was fashionable for "fair-skinned people" of diverse ancestry to choose Aboriginal racial identity for the purposes of political and career clout.^[20] The applicants claimed the posts breached the Racial Discrimination Act. They sought an apology, legal costs, and a gag on republishing the articles and blogs, and "other relief as the court deems fit". They did not seek damages.^[21] On 28 September 2011, Bolt was found to have contravened section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act.^[22]^[23]"

^{Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm}


 

^{Apparently there is a difference, depending on who you are?}


 

^{Personally I agree with Bolt and the Leaders - but is anyone going to prosecute the leaders as they did Bolt?}
