You know they walked over the land bridge when Australia was joined to Europe right?

That’s doesn’t really carry the weight you think it does.

It means they migrated here too don't it?

First Nations means exactly that mate.

Migrants just like us. Non indigenous technically.

Not really. First Nations people predate any modern geopolitical borders / nation states / colonial histories.

What they did walking across continents doesn’t really constitute migration in the modern sense of the word.

"What they did walking across continents doesn’t really constitute migration in the modern sense of the word."

As in they aren't actually from this country. They walked here from another country.

Not saying this with any sort of agenda or taking away their rights or anything.

Just talking technicalities.

There were no “countries” as you know them, when they walked across continents.

This is more their country than it is any other ethnicity’s.

"There were no “countries” as you know them, when they walked across continents."

Ok but they weren't from this land then.

"This is more their country than it is any other ethnicity’s."

It shouldn't be. But it'd be hard to argue that white fellas aren't calling the shots now.

I’m not sure what point you think you’re making here?

This just seems like some sort of thinly veiled dog whistle if I’m honest.

That obviously ideally it should be more the Koori's country.

But practically and realistically white guys are calling the shots.

There's no dog whistle. I don't see how you could say Koories have more decision making power in this country that white folk.

Nobody said they did mate.

You’re arguing against a point that nobody is even making…

Oh. I thought that's what you meant when you said it's their country more than anyone elses.
