I work with 7 aboriginal people. They all said these are just made-up names to sound aboriginal to rile up political aggression to continue the victim narrative. There was no aboriginal city's, so how did they have a name for a non existing city!?
Here in WA they tried to change the name of a suburb to an indigenous name. When it was put up for public consultation, another indigenous mob came along and claimed that the land was actually their land and that the other indigenous mob "stole" it from them.. Hundreds of indigenous mobs battled each other for territory and resources for 50 thousand years. By definition of the word "first", only one mob could be considered first, and those that came after must be invaders.. The indigenous people were the first colonists and engaged in abhorrent acts against each other long before the white man spilt any indigenous blood.. Which mob gets naming rights? 🤔
Every race and creed goes to war and commits atrocities. The indigenes weren't at constant war, the cost in the loss of their men was too high. Mostly they were at peace. Very small human population spread over a vast land, territorial disputes were few. Many practiced the "double horizon" method, creating a huge no-man's-land between tribes.
Same sort of thing happened in Canberra recently, one mob was 'recognised' as first, then another mob came along saying they were actually there first. Huge legal battle, and more. Ridiculous.
@Luum81 there was a gold mine shut down recently because two mobs were arguing over whose territory it was and who's customs were affected... Most of the trouble in Alice Springs TODAY is tribal based.. I've worked for the government going out to remote indigenous communities and documenting the elders stories. You go to one community and they tell you the story of how the tribe down the road stole their land and then you go down the road and the other mob tells of the great battle where they conquered the other mob.. It's naive to think that the acts of colonisation weren't occurring between indigenous tribes for 50000 years before the 250 years of British settlement... Indigenous people have enacted more harm, including war and displacement through their ancestoral bloodlines compared to anything any Englishman has done, but if both groups have engaged in the same actions, why does the finger of blame only get pointed in one direction? 🤔
@@ThaMassDebater Why does the finger of blame only get pointed in one direction? That's easy, because it's always the other person/mob at fault.

Here's the thing, before European colonization, there were around 500 distinct Aboriginal tribes, each defined by unique languages, customs, and territories. Linguistically, there were approximately 200 to 300 distinct languages, many of which had multiple dialects. So the question is: what aboriginal tribe language are they using? I'm not going to hold my breath for an answer.

Our education system teaches place names in a subject called geography. Any name NOT taught in official geography is both confusing and in my mind against Australian culture. As for indigenous place names they are not the name that was known to all Aboriginals simply because the aboriginals did not travel across the entire continent sharing place names and often were unable to leave their own tribal area due to threat of death at the hands of their local enemy tribe. Add to this the simple fact that Aboriginals had no written language and so could not record places names for future generations. Place naming was a matter of description rather than the European idea of place naming protocol. I do not watch the ABC, (Aboriginal Broadcasting Corporation) and I definitely do not watch the SBS, (Subversive Belligerent Separatists). Whilst the ABC and the SBS were initially great nation building organisations they quickly devolved into propaganda weapons wielded by the WOKE leftist minority. I refuse to spend any of my time and money in any place that has a different name to the one I was taught in school. I even avoid any place that acknowledges the original inhabitants of the land unless they include my European ancestors, (which they never do, even though modern Australia was built by the European immigrants). Secondly I am a supporter of stopping all commonwealth funding of the divisive woke media that the ABC and SBS have become. They are trying to destroy Australia through divisive propaganda I have married a number of times and had numerous children. My children are of different racial mixes and I do not consider myself to be racist but I do hate anything or anyone who goes out of their way to destroy the home country of my family or myself.
Changing names to Aboriginal names is happening more and more in WesternAustralia. Example; new extension to Forest Highway, Bunbury South has been named "WILMAN WADANDI Highway. Australia is an English speaking country and possibly not many younger Indigenous people would understand the names. Trying to appease the Indigenous Elders by changing names of cities, towns, rivers, highways etc., isn't going to undo the past and make everyone feel great. Politicians get a kick out of receiving praise for the name changing.
Lots of Aussie kids learn aboriginal languages, usually local ones. Indigenous community leaders often organise extra tuition for kids who want it. But I must admit, Bunbury-Perth, "Mandjoogoordap Drive" is a mouthful.
Noooooooooooooooooooooo Modi was doing the same in India. He was changing names of cities to their former ancient ones. These people call themselves "Guardians of the ancient world". Donot let them change the names. If we are stuck to the ancient world, we will never move ahead.

@@EducationWillSetYouFree Thanks for proving yet again that "education" =/= "intelligence". Why ARE lefties so dumb, anyway? Does leftism make one stupid, or do stupid people just tend to gravitate to the infantile and naive leftist worldview?
75% of place names in Australia are already of Aboriginal origin, although not many of them are accurately transcribed. Dual names is a ridiculous concept. Names have been applied and should never be changed without universal consent of of the community. By all means continue using Aboriginal place names for newly named locations... but do not change existing names as it is confusing.
They might be described as Aboriginal names for places, but as the early Aboriginees didn’t have a written language, these names are now written in English, spoken in English, translated in English, enunciations of each are in English, written in the English alphabet form and all probably vary from area to area. Instead of one actual spoken and written language ( aboriginal would have been drawings to leave an unspoken message on a cave wall for example) translated into another spoken and written language (English) all spelling and methods to show the written word of all Aboriginal words are in English and have a clear English influence to them. Surely to be accurate in translations surely drawings should be used, not English alphabet, otherwise isn’t it just English ? Just a thought!
Renaming for what, 3% of population? Must be kidding. Don't we already have indigenous names anyway, like Parramatta (NSW), Jimboomba (QLD), scattered throughout Australia? Surely this is enough. Just name 3% of the places, that should be about right.
Are all the banks we fill with Australian money shown on the map with Aboriginal names. They never had their own system of writing and use our alphabet. This nonsense needs to stop!
They had physical records in their artwork. What looks like dots or hatches in their paintings can tell a detailed story. So too oral history, a very rich tapestry of their ancestors.
You build a town, you are entitled to name it. Nothing is served by someone renaming it. Except confusion and backlash. Virtue-signalling is only perpetrated by people without virtue.
Why did Palmerston become Darwin? Many, many German-origin place names were changed to 'more English' during the world wars. Were they virtue signaling?
How lucky in Australia to have home fresh water food cars doctors hospitals medicine all the good things, better than nothing unless you like nothing not even a roll of toilet paper
The reason the Aborigines gave names to places in their language is so that THEY knew what and where they were talking about, Europeans gave names in English for EXACTLY the same reason.
Step 1: Break up Nation into small parts Step 2: Divest powers of Nation to Global Body Step 3: Absorb Nation into Global Body, renamed as economic geographical Zone number, eg WEF Zone 14. This is Step 1.
That suggestion by Joe at the end of the piece (do the whole news bulletins in all indigenous languages) is probably a good idea, it would leave very little time left for their other rubbish programs.
I like those different sounding names, i think it gives Australia unique-ness. It's a white colonised continent but has mystique. Like not just another boring name. It makes Australians look smart bc theyre saying and reading these words that look welsh.
No wonder I've given up watching free-to-air telly! I already live in a place with a long indigenous name and tired of having to spell this out to every single person that I need to give details to. I can't stand to hear of another broadcast that is coming to me from "the land of the ....... people". How far do they need to take this? We shouldn't be this confused in our own country! This is also an insult to all the other indigenous dialects of this land. Just leave good enough alone.🇦🇺
In Brisbane they have named Railway stations with Aboriginal names. No one knows where they’re going, no one knows where they’ve been, no one uses the trains. Total BS.
I sort of support it in the numerous cases where an Australian town or geographic feature has been given the same name as a place in Britain -like Liverpool for example - or Brighton,Armadale,the Derwent river, the Avon river, Albany, Newcastle and many many more. It helps to have an unique moniker and avoids confusion. There is a sizeable city called London in Ontario, Canada and I'm sure this causes endless confusion. The capital of Zimbabwe (formely Rhodesia) used to be called Salisbury (now Harare) the original Salisbury is a cathedral city in England - I think there is a Salisbury in South Australia too -would be logical to change its name to an aboriginal word too. But let's not choose words that are very hard to spell -like Nggunawwal or something like that -keep them phonetic!
Same problem in New Zealand. The vast majority of place names and geographic features in New Zealand have Maori names but a small percentage of activist Maoris egged on by white, woke academics and urban elites are set on a course to remove all non Maori place names. A legacy of Jacinda Ardern's divisive, racist regime.

You build a town, you are entitled to name it. Nothing is served by someone renaming it. Except confusion and backlash. Virtue-signalling is only perpetrated by people without virtue.
Why did Palmerston become Darwin? Many, many German-origin place names were changed to 'more English' during the world wars. Were they virtue signaling?
How lucky in Australia to have home fresh water food cars doctors hospitals medicine all the good things, better than nothing unless you like nothing not even a roll of toilet paper
Push back is coming.
BRING IT ON!
I've been doing just that for years. Everyone calls me names for it. I don't care.
I still call Ayers Rock,Ayres Rock.
Still misspelling, I see. Still using other avatars to post the same message?
The reason the Aborigines gave names to places in their language is so that THEY knew what and where they were talking about, Europeans gave names in English for EXACTLY the same reason.
It's like Saigon, locals still call it that.
Stop yelling over the top of the intelligent guy quoting facts.
Just NO!
India changed many names, from English to Indian. Now, nobody knows where they are going!
They are just telling a Whopper, or is that a Fraser island, or could that be a hamburger. It's a ridiculous joke.🤣🤬
Step 1: Break up Nation into small parts
Step 2: Divest powers of Nation to Global Body
Step 3: Absorb Nation into Global Body, renamed as economic geographical Zone number, eg WEF Zone 14.
This is Step 1.
Global democratic eco-socialism is inevitable. It's only a matter of time. And we are in it for the long haul!
Commissar to Zone 14 a certain Oz ambassador.
Bloody Hell, she was loud.
I love how a non written language can come up with a silent K and an apostrophe in K'gari. Utter BS.
It's still Eyres Rock to me and still Frazer Island, there is enough Aboriginal names out there now we don't need any more they are just GREEDY
I don't care a name is a name.
That suggestion by Joe at the end of the piece (do the whole news bulletins in all indigenous languages) is probably a good idea, it would leave very little time left for their other rubbish programs.
If Australia keeps on with this nonsense, it's doomed
Let's get rid of Wahronga. Turramurra. 😂
Uluru it is no Uluru it is called kickaginalong
SBS used to be the prime channel of myself and most of my friends. None of us have watched for some years.
I like those different sounding names, i think it gives Australia unique-ness. It's a white colonised continent but has mystique. Like not just another boring name. It makes Australians look smart bc theyre saying and reading these words that look welsh.
A little town on the way down to Wangaratta is called Carraragarmungee, one of my favourites.
Nice take on the matter, cheers!
@@EducationWillSetYouFree YAFI. That is all.
No wonder I've given up watching free-to-air telly! I already live in a place with a long indigenous name and tired of having to spell this out to every single person that I need to give details to. I can't stand to hear of another broadcast that is coming to me from "the land of the ....... people". How far do they need to take this? We shouldn't be this confused in our own country! This is also an insult to all the other indigenous dialects of this land. Just leave good enough alone.🇦🇺
Oh, take me back to Constantinople!
Always was Fraser Island, always will be Fraser Island
What was the aboriginal name for grog? Beer, wine and spirits?
gimee gimee
Just a daily reminder that Adelaide is called adelaide and not tarndanya. Nor ever will.
If you don't have a written language, you can't have written place names.
It's the English language doing their best interpretation of spoken words. English.
In Brisbane they have named Railway stations with Aboriginal names. No one knows where they’re going, no one knows where they’ve been, no one uses the trains. Total BS.
"Where the bloody hell are you?" 😮
This renaming of places to aboriginal names is total bullshit.
I never use aboriginal names.
I sort of support it in the numerous cases where an Australian town or geographic feature has been given the same name as a place in Britain -like Liverpool for example - or Brighton,Armadale,the Derwent river, the Avon river, Albany, Newcastle and many many more. It helps to have an unique moniker and avoids confusion. There is a sizeable city called London in Ontario, Canada and I'm sure this causes endless confusion. The capital of Zimbabwe (formely Rhodesia) used to be called Salisbury (now Harare) the original Salisbury is a cathedral city in England - I think there is a Salisbury in South Australia too -would be logical to change its name to an aboriginal word too. But let's not choose words that are very hard to spell -like Nggunawwal or something like that -keep them phonetic!
Indigenous people have tv's ??
Same problem in New Zealand. The vast majority of place names and geographic features in New Zealand have Maori names but a small percentage of activist Maoris egged on by white, woke academics and urban elites are set on a course to remove all non Maori place names. A legacy of Jacinda Ardern's divisive, racist regime.
SBS trying hard to not 'deadname' locations cause it may hurt a nobody's feelings.
If Wagga Wagga can be Wagga, why can't Woy Woy, be Woy?
Did I move to another country last night ?
Our crap local council decided to change the name of Fishers Ghost Creek to some aboriginal name I can not say, and I am aboriginal.
They have been trying to kill Fishers Ghost Festival for years, but we should support pride week. ( More forced inclusion )
Good thing with most TV's now you can delete ABC and SBS for good :)
Joe the snivelling little lefty has come out his closet and is now allowed to express his true thoughts. I think this version of him is worst.
I can’t pronounce their words and names. Hell most people still struggle with English.
Is SBS still going.
NO! Upon invasion, language and the names of places are altered.
Don't do it.
The real story is Australia towns 60 percent of them already have indigenous names but people are too dumb to know that
