In short:

The Federal Court has ordered the Northern Territory government to pay more than $54 million compensation to Gudanji, Yanyuwa and Yanyuwa-Marra traditional owners.

The compensation is for economic and spiritual losses associated with the establishment and expansion of the McArthur River Mine near Borroloola.

It marks only the second time a court has calculated compensation for native title losses, the first being the landmark Timber Creek case in 2019.

Native title holders for the land surrounding one of Australia’s largest mining operations have been awarded more than $54 million in compensation for “intergenerational and enduring” economic and spiritual loss.

The court ruling is only the second of its kind in Australia’s history and could have implications for native title groups, governments and private industry around the country

The political campaign to replace Australian names with Aboriginal names

We’ve seen the latest woke campaign all over the place. The campaign is to replace Australian place names with Aboriginal names, or to name any area according to the Aboriginal tribal name. Government-funded SBS is the leader of this pure-gold woke endeavour, followed closely by the government-funded ABC and – wait for it – government-owned Australia Post. Australia Post urges its customers to include the Aboriginal place or area name in all their posts.

Changing place names is an essential part of the white-Aboriginal coup that aims to have all things Aboriginal permeate the Australian culture, whose foundations are European and British Isles. Of course, such a coup would not be possible without the complicity of the treacherous dominant political class.

Who’s surprised?

‘The Aboriginal Land Rights Act was a Whitlam-era ideological experiment premised on the fantasy that land transfer and autonomy would allow Aboriginal people to revert to a viable “traditional” existence inside a modern nation-state. Wadeye is the living wreckage of that idea.

‘Fifty years on, it has no real economy, no self-sufficiency, no civic order, and no credible path forward. Land has been handed over, and the result is not empowerment but stagnation, violence, and permanent dependency. Wadeye is not transitional. It is the end state of a policy that mistook symbolic restitution for governance. No government has been willing to confront or unwind the model, because any attempt at reform is immediately racialised and treated as illegitimate . . .

‘The Northern Land Council is not a marginal or impoverished body. It is one of the wealthiest statutory land councils in Australia, controlling vast territories, negotiating resource agreements worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and maintaining substantial financial reserves. It asserts authority over land use, access, and exclusion, yet disclaims any operational responsibility for safety, order, or civil peace on the land it controls.’

Radicalising girls – it’s getting worse

Warning about the radicalising of girls and young women, this informative video was made 10 months ago. It has only got worse as many of my comments demonstrate.

*****

In this video essay, Quillette founder Claire Lehmann explores the global rise in political radicalisation among young women. Drawing on recent data, psychological research, and cultural trends, she examines how ideological movements, institutions, and technology are shaping a new form of gender polarisation. Far from the simplistic narratives of empowerment or oppression, this video presents a more complex—and urgent—story about identity, agency, and modern activism

Writing update

I would not be surprised if many visitors to my website (there are many) get the impression that I do nothing but post comments on my blog. Actually, the opposite is true. A small percentage of my time is spent providing links and making brief comments. Most of my time is spent on my writing, specifically on my novel writing.

My daily routine (except Sunday) is to begin writing at 8 am and finish around 12 pm. By that time, my brain is exhausted. In the afternoon, I attend to domestic matters, post links to comments and YouTube videos, do research, and sometimes revise my already published books. This last is a constant process that covers small adjustments to the text and the rooting out of typos, etc.

My present writing project is Book 5 of the Sixties Series, Love in the Counterculture. I’ve almost finished the first draft. Against most professional advice, I’m one of those writers who constantly revises as he writes, not only what’s been written the previous day but also the thus-far completed draft.

I find this necessary because my novels are long – more than 100,000 words. I need to keep the course of the story in mind. I’m at the 120,000-word mark with Love in the Counterculture. It will take at least another 20,000 words to finish the story. I have a tentative cover which I may replace by the time I’m ready to upload to Amazon and Draft2Digital (D2D). I would welcome comments about it.

Islamic mosques in Australia mourn the death of Ali Khamenei – who’s surprised?

It’s a funny world we live in. The Albanese government uttered strong support for America’s violent military action to wipe out Ali Khamenei’s brutal Islamic government, while Islamic mosques in Australia mourn the death of Khamenei, while the Labor government has purposefully brought hundreds of thousands of Islamic migrants into Australia to populate a Trojan horse. Could it get madder?

‘Sky News host Andrew Bolt calls out the Islamic leaders in Australia mourning the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Mr Bolt said Labor has been funding mosques, which are actively mourning his death. “The Masjid Arrahman Mosque … it’s also held a commemoration ceremony for three killed Hezbollah fighters, yet it has been given $33,000 by the NSW Government.”’
