No it doesn't. There is a clear definition for rural and urban. The issue is the inference that one is authentic and the other isn't. When does an Aboriginal lose their status as "an authentic representative of the ancient cultures of central Australia" if they live in a city?
In regards to the topic.
I do agree there is a difference between indigenous people who have lived all there lives in the city, to the indigenous people from rual/country/remote/bush areas.
Obviously Abbott thinks there is as well, and I am sure there are a lot of other people who do.
Like I said how precious of a society have we become.
I find no offence at what Abbott said myself, he said in 2 or so words, something it would have taken a lot more words, to keep everyone happy.

Didn't see anyone post any articles about the $5000 that got deposited into Gillard's account when she was hovering around with her union buddies.
But then again...thats the PM...she can do what she wants...lie, get under the table deals...anything goes, no questions asked on here from the ALP lovers.
If you are the opposition leader and not even in power....watch out :cutelaugh

Liverpool said:How about "There will be no carbon tax under the government I lead"
Oh...sorry, thats a lie...not a gaffe...my mistake
Carry on with an opposition leader's grammar instead...
Rosy? Azza??? hello??? :hihi

you dont think Abbott gets a fair go from the media in this country? you dont think they are happy to get stuck into Gillard if the opportunity arises? different topic but i can never understand how people can possibly believe the press here is on the 'left'.
U2Tigers said:
You voiced your opinion that we wouldn't discuss it if Julia had made the comment. Fact is she didn't make the comment. You were invited to post her gaffes for discussion. Your response indicates she's not an habitual gaffer like Tony is. No substance to your claim. Hard not to be one sided when one person regularly provides the ammo.
I reckon the Libs will dump Tony if he keeps causing such controversy. Might end up with only you and Livers backing him. It would be embarrassing for our leader to continually back-pedal and try and talk his way out of a situation where he speaks without thinking. His support is waning.

unless people have been voting now, 25 people said yes, 23 said no and 6 would prefer a cheese sandwich to be PM. i think the cheese sanga mob could be put with the no's. so actually the majority here do not want Abbott as PM.

I never said abandon at all and you know it.
I said that English should be the number-1 focus for Aboriginal kids when they go to school and that the curriculum at schools in the outback should mirror as much as possible all the other schools around the state, to try and put them in good stead when moving onto further education or full-time employment.
Azza said:
I am 1 sided as I am a coalition voter, however I have also criticised Abbott on a few of his gaffes, quite a few times.
I actually don't disagree at all with him this time at all.
As I have already stated, IMO there is a huge difference between city/urban indigenous people to county/urban/bush/outback indigenous people. This goes for way of life and tradition that are still maintained.

Who cares about some petty "gaffe" that an opposition leader makes when YOUR Prime Minister lies to the Australian people on national TV and pockets $5000 into her account through dodgy and corrupt union deals with ex-boyfriends?
No comment from you on these much more important issues regarding a PM's character but instead we are again discussing grammar lessons and deciphering wording.
I expect the "I don't know anything about this" or "I have no opinion on the matter until I read more" or another inane line to try and defend the indefensible.
Is this the behaviour you expect from a PM???
Liverpool said:
What? You chose to respond to a question asked of your siamese twin. You didn't provide the requested info and neither did he. Not sure why you've drawn attention to that fact. Seems more likely we don't discuss Julia's gaffes because there aren't too many rather than out of one sidedness.
