I don't deny that pale skin office boys would not handle the heat up here very well, even when it's only up to about 38 plus, which is the highest I have recorded at my place.
16-11-06, 38.8 @ 2.45pm.
But I do take an interest in the temp etc after the ABC news each day, for reasons I will not disclose, and I doubt that Ngukurr ever reached 48 deg.
Please direct me to the weather site which recorded those figures as I am unable to find any 48 at Ngukurr, ever. |

weather temperatures for the Ngukurr area are not actually taken at the community but at Roper Bar with a cheap house thermometer.
while working for the local media association, i was logging local weather conditions, and as i said before i have a better idea of what the weather is like here.

See this page for weather details at Ngukurr
http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/averages/tables/cw_0 14609.shtml
I think the observations are done by the Police there using Bureau supplied instruments, not "with a cheap house thermometer" but I could be wrong. Your temp of 48° may have been reached while working out in the sun rather than measured in their instrument thingo. In any case, working outside in the Top End is not that easy for anyone.
C'mon Dallone, admit it, you're a weather nut just like the rest of us? ***But I do take an interest in the temp etc after the ABC news each day, for reasons I will not disclose,*** |

Yes, there is no way an ordinary hand held thermometer is used for official observations. And they generally have to be taken at a number of specific times, day and night.
While I wouldn't call myself a weather buff, I do take an interest. One of the reasons is because we like to see what the temp is where my little ones mother lives. |

Though towards the end of the article is what appears to be the author's solution "So long as people from lower socio-economic backgrounds are supported by welfare without any real incentive to exercise their brains or body, poor health and all the associated flow-ons will occur."
Stop the hand outs, I think we mostly agree, but it's not going to happen in my lifetime. There is a huge industry around the handouts, the handwringing conferences, complaints to the UN, endless meetings and consultations. Money without working is a way of life, and he's right they could shower in it so much is thrown at the problem, without result.

The alternative to harsh action is for yet another generation to go down the drain. Kindness has not worked, self determination has not worked, consultation does not work, reconciliation is a one way street as they are coached it should be.

sourced from an Abu Dhabi tourist information site.
LOL you really have been spending way tooo much time bludging of the locals. Abu Dhabi is larger then just the city. Go out in the dessert and see how hot it gets.
What say you come over there some time and I'll take you quad biking in the dessert - great fun.
Oh that's right you would have to get a real job to afford the airfare. Never mind perhaps one day when you have developed self respect and stop bludging of the locals. |

What used to work Pol was when the missionaries were in charge of some communities. They had veggie gardens and work everywhere. But that was before the do gooders came onto the scene and sit down money prevailed.
Normal methods will not solves the crisis which is Ab life on communities today. The intervention is not 'normal methods', there need be much more like that. And forget consultation, waste of time, all it does is line the pockets of the educated part Ab's. The shit stirrers. |

But what would you suggest ? If you try and intervene the Aboriginals, part-Aboriginals and Aboriginal apologists like Roper all complain that it.
It almost as if they want to Aboriginals to remain as drunken wife bashers and child molesters. |

By Ropes, quoting Sat';
****It almost as if they want to Aboriginals to remain as drunken wife bashers and child molesters.****

~~~~~~
I never had any trouble understanding that sentence Ropes.
A couple of typo's does not change the meaning at all. Even those with only a limited knowledge of the English language would not have any trouble understanding it.
With me, you jumped on a misplaced comma to attempt to deride my writing ability, even though you ended up being the fool because you got that wrong too.
In your sentence you say;
if you want to get a message across, regardless of being right or wrong, it's best to make some sense first.
~~~~
Did you mean to say: 'regardless of whether it (the message) is right or wrong'?
Or did you mean to say: 'regardless of whether you (the writer) are right or wrong'?
People who live in glass houses Ropes can clearly see what you would be getting up to outside with uncle Jack's horse. |

The intervention will fail where it deviates from the normal, that is normal in so far as apply to Australians generally, not sub-groups demanding "special benefits".
After all "special benefits" historically the problem not the solution.
When "normal standards" apply, then everyone can learn what needs be done a lot easier.
Learning difficulties can NOT be addressed until they are recognized as learning difficulties, and what is to be taught is presented so can be understood.
These "learning difficulties" do not justify changing the basic legal concepts we all live under.
Specially where these claimed "learning difficulties" are not easy to measure, or the measure produces more problems... |

Sorry I knew I should have explained in a more childlike manner for you. So lets try again (I'll use small words).
There are a lot of half Aboriginals or Aboriginal apologists who want to keep things as they are. It's convenient for them if the Aboriginals are kept in a drunken, wife bashing, child molesting state.
This allows them to keep their nice cushy jobs and (more importantly to them) enables them to adopt a sanctimonious attitude to the Aboriginals and their alleged detractors.
So to put it in simple terms for you. There are a lot of parasites who need the aboriginals to bludge off thereby making themselves feel superior. |

Have no disagreement to reasoning for getting the message across view.

Pol they understand but it's to their advantage to ignore. Can you imagine if all the parasite bludging of the Aboriginals had to get real jobs ?
Say anything against the Aboriginals and you are automatically branded a racist. Just a tactic used by the parasites to protect themselves. |

Agree such behavior is a tactic over used in these debates.
Mostly by people who confuse the symptom with the problem.
Being A* does NOT mean you have this problem !
Failing to recognize racism present in such an answer is part of the problem.
Is also how people find themselves charged, and found guilty, of racism and ordered to pay damages...
Being A* does NOT mean someone automatically displays this problem, for such behaviors are learnt, far more than they are inherited by some purported genetic link.
BTW whilst exists some debate on related issues within genetics, this not regarded as with any proven cause and effect, as the tendencies are present in all racial groups.
In most communities am issue is what real jobs ?
Large part of the problem is how these quasi-government organisations are NOT supportive of people creating their own... prefering they be restricted to what suits government, until proven succesful... chicken and egg issue... |

Thank you Steve you have just proven my point. When people point the hypocrisy of the Aboriginal apologist and other related parasite, all they can do is resort to the racist card. Somehow I never expected anything better from you. |

Not any more. It's so over used that no one cares. It's sad that people like you have to resort to calling others racist just to hide your abuse of the aboriginals. |
