Andrew Bolt calls out those who 'claim' Aboriginal heritage without evidence

- Sky News host Andrew Bolt slams those who “claim to be Aboriginal”, despite genealogical records showing they’re not.
“I have told you over the years of so many people who have claimed to be Aboriginal when their genealogical records suggest they don't have a single ancestor who's Aboriginal,” Mr Bolt said.
“But it's in academia especially, so it seems in my experience, academia where you particularly get people saying they're aboriginal when the evidence I have suggests they're not.
“Again, they won't show me evidence that I'm wrong.”
DNA testing anyone????? HHHeeeelllloooo!!!!! End the argument right quickly!

I believe they should not. However if they were born in Aust. they are indigenous but should not get the benefits.

@@rosshitchen-ij6en because all they do is complain about how much harder it is being Aboriginal.
Spot on, apparently aboriginal people are disadvantaged but when you have white people claim to be aboriginal and do quite well from it then you have to ask what is the disadvantage aboriginals supposedly have? My guess is it’s laziness to get off their arse and do something for themselves because these fake ones prove they act have an advantage
One of the Olympic swimmers this year identifies as aboriginal but she only just discovered she is first nations when becoming an Olympican ... so their might be a benefit there that helped sponsor the trip maybe 🤔
I suggest at the next census we all claim we identify as aboriginal.

The intelligence on this page is mind blowing.
If you are born on this land then claim to be indigenous as technically you are indigenous to this land
I do and Im Filipino, they have never questioned it.
@@Boss-Possumdo you get benefits?
In Tasmania, some 30,000 people claim to be Aborigine. What they really mean is that they have an Aboriginal ancestor. But even that is misleading as some Aboriginal groups claim that there are white people falsely claiming Aboriginal ancestry in order to obtain certain benefits. Now, the last Tasmanian Aborigine died in 1876. All born since then have mixed blood, which raises the next question, how long does a persons claim to be of Aboriginal descent last. My own ancient relatives, as recently as the mid 1800's were Irish. Does that mean that I can claim to be Irish? I doubt it very much. For the benefit of those people who have real Aborignal ancestry, the rules must be tightened, for example compulsory DNA testing, to reveal the fraudsters who are claiming benefits by theirnclaim to Aboriginality.
If they can trace your family back 60,000 years and your 1% your still Aboriginal.
The Last full blood Tasmanian Aboriginal person may have died off however many proudly carry these genes and still practice culture. My brother makes stringy bark canoes and my other brother conducts cultural programs and did muttonbirding as a young fella. Many still do. My sister is an artist who paints and makes kelp baskets. I am so proud of them. The government ran an Aboriginal Reserve from 1881-1951 on Cape Barren Island was created for Tasmanian Aboriginal people .Thats where my family come from. They tried to keep the bloodline going but that is extremely difficult when many were killed, taken by sealers or removed and therefore mixed with non Aboriginal people . What is wrong with keeping your identity proudly .I think many people are jealous of this connection Aboriginal people have to the land. I myself was adopted out and taken to NSW. I found my fathers family and have a great relatoinship with them .Im 62 work fulltime still and live a good life. I am proud to say I have Aboriginal heritage and love Australia.
Who cares if we are full blood or a quarter? We have Aboriginal blood. Some choose not to live the Aboriginal culture, and some do. There is no DNA test for Aboriginality; if there was one, I would gladly sign up and have it done. To be Aboriginal, you need Aboriginal ancestry, live the Aboriginal culture, and be accepted by a mob.
You seem a little bit confused about the matter, and comparing your heritage to Aboriginals is a meaningless example. How do you know there are fraudsters claiming benefits? Do you personally know a few of them? As for Aboriginals claiming benefits, this might surprise you, but most simply have jobs and pay taxes like most normal Australians, as we are all citizens of Australia."
😡😡 HEY ALBO THE HOMELESS WANT TO SPEAK TO YOU WE ARE REAL PISSED OFF 😡😡😡
Exactly, we live in a town with vacant houses but even though we are on priority housing, we can't have a house as only for aboriginals, yet no homeless aboriginals in or near my town.
Bringing over cheap labour for your mates wages benefits and occupying social housing for real Aussies on the street...disgusting morals Albi and a betrayal just for greedy purposes for the benefit of yourself and the rich end of town....shame on you
Cant blame em though, it's like the governments paying out lotto prizes without checking the tickets.

The sad fact is the $40 Billion per year Aboriginal industry does very little if anything to support and uplift some of the most disadvantaged people in Australia.

Before anyone can claim indigenous heritage they should have to prove it! Anyone can tick the Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander box!
You do have to prove it. It's a three-part legal test, and it's not a case of simply saying you're Aboriginal. They have to trace your family tree, and it has to go to a meeting with the land council, where you have to be accepted. Many people claim to be Aboriginal; however, they don't have the documentation to prove it.
Anyone can identify; however, if you don't have the documentation, you can't use any of the services.

Keep up the good work Andrew, the Aboriginal industry needs to be broken up, enough is enough, they will never stop unless this massive scam by the few is stopped by the majority of fair thinking Australians, equal rights and ownership of Australia has to be universal for all, it cannot be any other way.
If details are not recorded, or incorrectly recorded, how do they know that they are aboriginal? Have they just decided that they prefer to be aboriginal? Fashionable ?
At most peoples births, their grand parents and often grand parents were alive, who had a living memory of their grand parents or great grand parents. For a culture that has a tradition of passing down its history through stories how hard is it to know your families last 150+ years of history? I know mine.
The only solution is to remove any incentives in claiming to be indigenous. No grants. No university positions. No direct employment in the indigenous industry.

@@geofflecren8827 Reconcile for what? Be honest with yourself and admit - Aboriginals really don't want to live traditionally and are much better off now.

We need to come together to solve this crisis now god knows enough $$$ is being thrown at it . Something is missing and we need to all Australians supported
What gets me, is any prior special treatment for Aboriginals, was to offset wrongdoing and discrimination against individuals, based on their race. And yes, it did happen, whites were preferred over blacks when it came to jobs, got treated better all round etc. This happened when those discriminating, could tell by appearance, who they were dealing with. Having some ancestor five or six generations back, with no outwardly sign that could result in you being discriminated against, somehow qualifies you for special treatment now?

You guessed it..... the red hair/bright white skinned female was supposedly the "indigenous" one, the dark skinned female was part Maori. The supposedly "indigenous" female knew zero about anything aboriginal, but just bleated left wing tropes.
