In Melbourne this week, blogger and author Marc Henrickx launched A Guide to Climbing Ayers Rock, which argues the sandstone monolith belongs to all Australians, not just those Aborigines whose local leaders are rejecting documented history to deny all but their own access to a national treasure. Here is what he had to say

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

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

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

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

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
