OMG she's like the best person ever!! Take that, homeless guy!!

How good is it when insanely wealthy celebrities bully people whose lives are falling apart! Not only are you struggling to pay the bills, but I'm going to encourage the government to invite violent and desperate young men to come and live in your shitty neighbourhood.

I totally get that our founding fathers should be revered and respected. Defacing of statues is a populist action by a bunch of uni activists after the Charlotesville General Lee thing.

Having said that, I think what Stan Grant said has some merit and deserves to be discussed. Let's not forget that Stan is not calling for the statues to be removed (as some conservatives are claiming) he is simply asking the the inscriptions be reconsidered.

There is a history in Australia of not wanting to talk about the darker parts of our shared past.

It is written in our DNA, it is buried in the soil.

When a nation is founded on a doctrine of terra nullius — literally empty land — then it becomes too easy to ignore the people of that emptiness.

We don't have to reckon with the treatment of Aboriginal people because they are invisible. Indigenous people become a postscript to Australian history.

History itself becomes a hymn to whiteness

This is what Captain Cook's statue in Sydney's Hyde Park tells us.

The inscription that Cook "Discovered this territory 1770" maintains a damaging myth, a belief in the superiority of white Christendom that devastated Indigenous peoples everywhere.

Where does it come from? In 1452 Pope Nicholas V sanctioned the conquest, colonisation and exploitation of all non-Christian peoples.

In 1493 after Christopher Columbus returned from his so-called discovery of America, Pope Alexander VI decreed that land not ruled by Christian kings was free to be claimed.

Let's not forget that Governor Macquarie decreed.

And until the 1960's
