The divisive myth that the Australian nation is composed of three population waves – Aboriginal, British, and post-war immigrant – has seduced many, most recently Paul Kelly, who believes it ‘true and inclusive’. We should acknowledge the nation we inhabit today is the product of only one of these social assemblages

Aboriginal gatekeepers, those who advance and police the preferred narrative, are happy for problems like violence and child abuse in Aboriginal communities to be discussed -- but only if Aboriginal perpetrators are excused and the white man blamed

To be fair, there really is a lot of good stuff on display at the National Museum of Australia, but that value for the taxpayer dollar is hugely diminished by the distortions and sheer bastardry of the institution's promotion of 'stolen generation' myths and slanders of self-sacrificing missionaries

A certain kind of feminist will skate over the outrages suffered by Aboriginal women in communities where elements of traditional culture prevail. One guesses it is more fun to dress David Morrison in high heels and applaud his denunciations of the innocuous term 'guys'

To shrink from identifying Aboriginal culture as a fountainhead of domestic violence is to concede that Aboriginal women are worth less, and deserve less, than other Australian women. Alas, wrapped in a tactful silence, such is the prevailing attitude

Arrested for unpaid fines, the Aboriginal woman's death prompted a coroner's rebuke and, inevitably, accusations of racist indifference directed at Western Australia police and medical staffers. If only such outrage had focused on her life before she was taken into custody

Papers rescued from a landfill, painstakingly unearthed archival material, long-forgotten records, diary entries and correspondence put pay to the myth that racist policies saw many Aboriginal children removed from their parents. The reasons were good and the numbers tiny

Uluru's custodians swear that climbing the monolith defiles it, yet they don't accord a documented truth any respect at all. The proof is a long forgotten ABC interview with Toby Naninga, who confirmed there is nothing sacred about the summit and urged tourists to avoid only a few small, fenced-off areas

Very few are brave enough to challenge the view that Aborigines are the only experts and authorities on Aboriginal affairs. This pablum allows purported leaders, academics and "spokespeople" to build empires while those whose interests they profess to represent endure lives unworthy of dogs

In many Aboriginal communities violence is commonplace and anti-social behaviour endemic. So who do blacktivists target while rattling the cup for donations to fight "racism"? Why, the police! Sure, such crusades garner plenty of Facebook "likes" but, in the meantime, more lives are ruined and wasted

The Uluru Statement and push for constitutional recognition which convened that gabfest both hang on the willingness of those not invited to accept magic words and incantations of grievance. Politeness silences open scepticism of most non-Aboriginals, but it is unlikely to apply at the ballot box

The repulsive portrait painted by academic lawyers of racist Australian governments wilfully disenfranchising all Aboriginal people, denying them their rights as citizens and casting them out of the polity, is historically untrue, nothing more nor less than a slanderous fabrication

The SBS series was valuable, but might have achieved much more had it eschewed the easy and obligatory voicing of several participants' 'white guilt'. First, that sentiment is unwarranted. Second, self-laceration doesn't do a thing to get the rubbish cleaned up

When the purported comedian Trevor Noah made a vulgar and stupid joke about the sex appeal Aboriginal women, the grievance mongers went ballistic and their disciples bleated on cue. What a pity the energy of that outrage wasn't poured into protesting the rape of Tennant Creek toddlers

We are never victims of the past, only ever victims of our view of the past. That is beyond obvious but nevertheless worth bearing in mind the next time blacktivists blame Captain Cook and Lachlan Macquarie for, well, all the many ills that bedevil some Aboriginal communities

It is just one man's opinion, but the abuse I have encountered from the Black Victim Brigade entitles me to right of reply. Yes, blacktivists are angry, very angry, but not about the issues they claim to be angry about. Rather, their fury is opportunistic hypocrisy of the first order

An ABC interviewer was floored recently when her guest, a man of Aboriginal heritage, begged to differ with Warren Mundine's call to change the date of Australia Day. Her shock was understandable, as it is the peddlers of victimhood who hog the nation's microphones

Reviewer Brian Galligan took to task my recent book -- or rather, attempted to do so, as his purported analysis is selective, freighted with pre-conception and laughably at odds with fact. His editor, Peter Browne, refused to publish my response to such slipshod scholarship, so read it here

Other than empty cliches and angry slogans, what a pact between white and black Australia might achieve is never explained by its loudest and most insistent advocates. Before proceeding down this path, what about addressing alcoholism, abuse and dysfunction?
