It’s worth reminding ourselves of the kind of attitude that today’s apology will do nothing to change.
Since it’s “in vogue” at the moment - here it is..the APOLOGY

English language and thus we opened up to you the entire
European civilisation, thought and enterprise.We feel that we must apologise for building hundreds of homes
for you, which you have vandalised and destroyed.We apologise for giving you law and order which has helped
prevent you from slaughtering one another and using the
unfortunate for food purposes.We apologise for developing large farms and properties, which
today feed you people, where before, you had the benefits of

Mr/Ms Rebellion needs two daily spots on the freedom-crushing channel nine, I reckon.
Having MK and KG in the comments thread just tops it off, doesn’t it? A nice little love-in.

It’s worth reminding ourselves of the kind of attitude that today’s apology will do nothing to change.
Unfortunately it will always lurk beneath the surface, waiting to manifest itself in the form of swastikas on synagogues, firebombed Asian businesses, and deliriously “funny” emails that make the sender look even more like the office wanker than he/she already was. You have about as much chance of reasoning with these people as you with the Reverend Fred Phelps. The only response worth giving is laughter and derision.

Until today that sort of post made me angry. But then I figured despite evil bastards like this, the Prime Minister of Australia got up and said Sorry. People like this are irrelivent and I really hope they are so torn up and angry about the apology that it leads to their early deaths.
Please indulge me while I disect some of the points of this fucking arsehole’s apology.
- free doctors and Medicare hasn’t stopped third world child mortality rates and lower life expectancy for Aboriginals as well as the highest levels of diabetes of any people on the planet.
- We gave them Law and Order which has resulted in ridiculaously high rates of Aboriginal deaths in custody.
- Yes We developed large farms and proprties which led to widespread displacement of Aborigines from their traditional lands.
Fuck head.

The bogan who wrote this has obviously never heard of Rawls. Then again, are many bogans likely to have heard of him?

So this guy is actually jealous and resentful of everything the aborigines (not aboriginals) have got from white society?
Geezus, even Brendan ’spineless’ Nelson said something like, “If anybody thinks aborigines are not disadvantaged ask yourself, would you like to have been born as one?”
So that puts this fuckcake somewhere to the extreme right of Atilla the Hun.

Ahhh, it’s just that sausage puller called ‘Rebellion’. Don’t worry, he’s just a light weight wannabe … just check his blog. He virtually gets no comments from anyone except some toothless bald guy called MK or the old drunk in the bed beside him called Aurora. I think MK might be Rebellion’s AA sponsor or something because mk responds to nearly every single post.
It’s not very well liked I gather because it’s the same lonely commentators for months & months & months.
Move along … Nothing to see there.

You should have seen some of the rubbish that has wound up on YouTube in the past 24 hours. No doubt in an attempt to compete with the actual sorry motion.

I think you lot should all go take a cold shower, especially “Wah”.
Take this as it is meant to be “FUNNY” not serious at all.
There are some relevant points but it also quiet deliberately only shows one side of the story. (To Make It Funny)
I read this & “LAUGH” & yet while I am no fan of KRUDD I thought his apology for the wrongs of the PAST was well put together & made me even more proud to be Australian.
I am NOT an Aboriginal or Islander but I do have good mates who are & even they find this apology FUNNY. So get over it & get a life. Instead of looking around every corner for something to whinge about try finding something to laugh about.
Monday 6 October 2008, 10:50 pm #Wah
Sorry TP.
It’s cynical, racist and totally innacurate. I bet there were heaps of fuckwits who read that and actually believe it - just like they believe all the bullshit about refugees getting paid $2000 a week to live here.
At best it’s really shit satire.
Tuesday 7 October 2008, 4:38 am #Bridgit Gread
On behalf of all right-thinking Australians I’d like to apologise for TP being an apologist for this ‘apology’.
Tuesday 7 October 2008, 7:49 am #TP
Bridgit, your comment only proves that you are are as thick pig shit & twice as sloppy.
Tuesday 7 October 2008, 9:00 am #Wah
Ouch! I am so using that!
Tuesday 7 October 2008, 10:21 am #TP
Glad you liked that one Wah, I’m happy that I gave you something you can have a laugh about & something you can use at the same time.
Tuesday 7 October 2008, 12:23 pm #TP
By the wah, the moron who posted the “Apology” fails to mention that he is NOT the author. He has plagerised it in full. I saw it about 8 years ago, well before KRudd made the formal apology shortly after taking office. One thing I do agree on is that this should not have been posted in a public forum like this. It is something to share with mates (Maybe after a few beers) but not to be put out there like this where some people will take offence.
Tuesday 7 October 2008, 1:14 pm #Wah
I think a few people took credit for it actually - and I doubt their intentions were just to be funny.
Tuesday 7 October 2008, 3:42 pm #Bridgit Gread
Bridgit, your comment only proves that you are are as thick pig shit & twice as sloppy.
Not so thick that I’d try to pass off a bit of sarcastic racism as a joke because it made him/her “LAUGH”.
Coming soon from TP: “How I “ROFL”ed at the Protocols of Zion” and “Mein Kampf - WHAT A HOOT!”
Git.
Tuesday 7 October 2008, 4:58 pm #TP
I’m sorry Bridgit, I meant twice as thick as pig shit & twice as sloppy & you have just proven it beyond doubt. (Congratulations)
Now BUGGER OFF I’m not interested in having an argument with a twit like you.
Tuesday 7 October 2008, 5:01 pm #Jason
If you ask me, that’s very much belied by your willingness to engage in an argument with her on a weblog, but maybe I am thick as pigshit, too.
Tuesday 7 October 2008, 5:12 pm #Bridgit Gread
TP, we try to foster a certain level of civility and decorum here at Grods, so please refrain from further episodes of abuse.
Tuesday 7 October 2008, 6:28 pm #TP
I’m not racist I like black fellas, I reckon every white man should have one.
Tuesday 7 October 2008, 6:30 pm #TP
Sorry Bridget, but it’s not my fault. You got me going & then the devil made me do it.
Tuesday 7 October 2008, 6:41 pm #Bridgit Gread
He gets around, that Devil.
Tuesday 7 October 2008, 6:58 pm #TP
Yeah he does, he must be an Aboriginal gone on walk about & showed up my place.
Tuesday 7 October 2008, 7:04 pm #TP
I’ll smash you you white trash piece of shit, (anyone got a smoke)
Tuesday 7 October 2008, 7:08 pm #TP
I like you Bridget, your allright ay.
Tuesday 7 October 2008, 7:45 pm #TP
Bridgit, These last 3 comments are not mine. Someone is playing funny buggers. So to whoever this is get the balls to have your own identity.
Tuesday 7 October 2008, 7:51 pm #Bridgit Gread
Must be a sockpuppett (sic)
Tuesday 7 October 2008, 8:08 pm #Ant Rogenous
Nice try, TP, but they all came from your IP. Oh, and you mixed up one of your fake email addresses when you were writing them anyway — you gave “EPP” and “Allen” the same one. If you’re going to play funnybuggers, you need to be a little more clever.
You writes it, you owns it, champ.
Tuesday 7 October 2008, 8:12 pm #Bridgit Gread
I wonder if TP is using the same IP as a certain failed IT project manager who dropped into Grods some time back.
Tuesday 7 October 2008, 8:15 pm #Ant Rogenous
Nah, they’re different. And TP is a good deal more literate, anyway.
Tuesday 7 October 2008, 9:53 pm #TP
It came from my computer & I just found out that my brother who is a guest in my home at the moment decided to get in on this & stir it up a lttle furtherfrom my computer. I apologise but he just said, he doesn’t. Go figger.
In any case I’ll leave you all to it, because quiet frankly I’ve had a gutful of this anyway. I only meant to have a little fun with this & it got out hand for a bit there. Sorry about that. But just to finish off, I’m certainly no racist & I’m certainly no apologist for the “Apology”.
I won’t be checking back in so don’t waste any more comments on TP. I’m sure you all have far better things to do then carry on with dribble any longer.
