Similarly, the Australian oceanic research vessel has recently been studying deep ocean canyons off the east coast (we’re talking dozens of kilometers off shore, here) and they have, onboard, an Aboriginal adviser, because they (utterly anachronistically) claim it as their “water country”, and it’s important she sees all the deep water creatures, so they know how to “protect country and cultural knowledge better”, apparently…
Which is truly an impressive gift.
Meanwhile the state leader where I am just announced increased funding for childcare surrounded by children playing on top of an “Indigenous designed play mat”, next to a doll’s house draped in the Abo flag, with not a single Aussie flag in sight…

I hate what this country has become.
