    This from Australia - This woman Fraser lied and made up false stories, a whole tribe was either killed or dispossessed of their land in the 1800's as a result. Should you just forget it and say let bygones be bygones?

    Published Monday, 20 September, 2021 at 11:00 AM

    Minister for the Environment and the Great Barrier Reef and Minister for Science and Youth Affairs
    The Honourable Meaghan Scanlon

    The World Heritage Area within Great Sandy National Park which is centred on Fraser Island, along with the surrounding waters and parts of the nearby mainland, has been renamed K’gari - the original Butchulla people’s name for the island.

    The move was celebrated at a ceremony with Butchulla representatives and Elders on K’gari yesterday.

    The name change was formally adopted at the recent 44th session of the World Heritage Committee and is a major milestone in a long running campaign by the region’s traditional owners.

    Butchulla Aboriginal Corporation Chairperson Jade Gould said her people welcome the name change of the world heritage area to K’gari.

    “The Butchulla people have been campaigning for years to change the name,” Ms Gould said.

    “The name Fraser Island is a tribute to Eliza Fraser—a woman whose narrative directly lead to the massacre and dispossession of the Butchulla people.

    I hadn't heard about the Hales accusation. My brother named his dog Kevin, it's not a black dog and he had never heard this fkn nonsense about it being a slur on black people. Neither have I.
    Had anyone heard of this?

    I just read up on it and Rafiq accepted a 6 figure payment from the new boss of YCC.
    So he got at least £100k for someone calling him a bad name 12 years ago.
    He says YCC was systematically racist but he Captained them in a T20. He also returned for a 2nd spell.
    There doesn't seem to be anything apart from verbal slurs, which he deems bullying.
    He told an inquiry what someone had called their dog!
    I wouldn't be surprised if Ant and Dec appeared and revealed that it was one of their wind ups.
    This world has gone fkn mad!

    You'll need to wait 12 years and I'll probably be dead or have dementia by then so won't have a clue who you are ☺️

    i doubt that very much, it was you who found your way onto this thread, obviously upset by its content, if you don't like it, and it offends you, you are welcome to **** off back to your echo chamber<ok>

    Yes, i did say don't knock it, and you came on here knocking it <doh>

    Instead of coming on here sounding all upset and offended you could say why you disagree with some of the comments, that would be a good start, you do know how forums work right?
    or, if you want a slagging match you'll get that too :emoticon-0116-evilg

    I didn't knock it at all. I wished you good luck. Remember? <doh>

    You seem to struggle with a train of thought that extends beyond two posts don't you?
