Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Opposition leader Tony Abbott were escorted by police and bodyguards from a Canberra restaurant after Aboriginal Tent Embassy protesters surrounded them.
SO THIS is what reconciliation looks like on Australia Day, after so many concessions over so many useless years.
Reconciliation means Prime Minister Julia Gillard being trapped by furious Aboriginal protesters inside a Canberra building yesterday for half an hour.
It means Gillard and guests at the Australia Day function being heckled and abused as racists.
It means Gillard, fear on her face, being monstered and falling in the melee as police rushed her to her car for safety, one shoe lost in the crowd.
It means Opposition Leader Tony Abbott also being bundled into Gillard's car to protect him from assault.
It means protesters trying to block the car with its terrified occupants.
It means them fighting police and vilely abusing them.
Yet here are some concessions we've made to a reconciliation movement that now destroys the cause it preaches.
We've allowed a shambolic Aboriginal tent embassy to despoil public space in Canberra for 40 years, when we wouldn't tolerate a (non-Aboriginal) Occupy Melbourne protest for 40 days.
We've formally apologised to stolen generations despite not being able to identify even 10 of the tens of thousands of Aboriginal children said to have been stolen just to breed out the colour.
We've held Sorry Days and marched over bridges.
We've (quite properly) granted Aborigines land rights, and also rights to block mining projects of huge economic benefit to all Australians.
We've spent billions to try to lift Aborigines out of poverty, even if an absurd fear of seeming mean has stopped us from doing what's most needed.

Disgusting they were allowed to get that close to the PM and I’m not a fan of her.
I agree. I despise her politics and have little time for her personally, but she is the Prime Minister of my country and she should never have to flee from a mob in her own country. And her security should be good enough that if things do go wrong, she is protected.
This is what racial pandering always leads to. Anywhere.
Amen
WAKE UP Australia and definitely stop believing the libtard stupid songs.
Australia, USA, Europe...must stop with their shame , guiltyness , whining speech , stop bowing under international croocks who fear moral and christian values, civilization and pride.
Puppets like Gillard should be sent away
I don’t know anything about her, but this is appalling. How did the authorities let these people get close enough to be a threat?
The article was good, btw. The aborigines seem to have hopped onto the grievance train and are riding it full speed ahead. I hope they slam into a wall.
We were happier walking around naked wearing s*** as a sun- screen!
“It means Gillard, fear on her face, being monstered...”
Excellent term. What does it mean exactly? Making those extreme faces like the Maoris are famous for?
Monstered = abused/mobbed/beaten
Yeah, I would not want to put my safety in the hands of the women in that line. Good grief. Does anyone actually think those little girls could keep their arms linked if someone charged them.
Reminds me of when I was a girl and we neighborhood kids played Red Rover.
***We’ve held Sorry Days and marched over bridges.***
I’m sure the moslems or Japs in WWII would have done the same thing if they had taken over Australia first.
***We’ve formally apologised to stolen generations ..... Aboriginal children said to have been stolen just to breed out the colour.****
Which causes me to ask a question, do Aboriginal men still split their peckers open with stone knives? Maybe this is why there are fewer aborigine kids.

Time to get up off our knees...
that sort of access was naive for Aussie security
“This is what racial pandering always leads to. Anywhere.”

Yep.
Whites need to end the self-hate and guilt.
Yesterday.
Funny thing is that it seems most “protestors” are not aboriginals at all, but rather the “anti fascist crowd” we are familiar with in Europe and that you have experienced in Seattle etc.
Yes, I quite agree, and the panderers generally except anyone who claims status. Even blond blue eyed surfers work their hair into dreadlocks and claim they are part abo, and entitled. And they get away with it, if I understand correctly.
