Reclaim Terra Nullius?

Who are these weekend warriors trying to impress with their combatant stances over the meaningless slogan Re-claiming Australia? Those words pre-suppose the continent was/is OWNED by some clique or other.

No,,, it is a body of land which sat for millions of years waiting to be occupied by some lucky human tenants. So far as we know our 'aboriginal' brothers and sisters were the first fortunate punters to stumble over the haven some 50/60 thousand years before anglo-saxon settlers/prisoners of another 'state' also took up the offer. Since then people from hundreds of other global locales have either joined us willingly in a search for better living conditions, or been compelled to relocate here in the face of danger in their previous home-land. Like me (who was born here a tad over 80 years ago), none of us own the place... so the word reclaim has no meaning in a physical sense,

If, on the other hand, the slogan alludes to lifestyle, race, or religious beliefs then I say to the combatants... "stop wasting your breath, time and endeavour to impress me and, I suspect, a large majority of ordinary Australian residents who do not need to be told how to live their lives in this community by a bunch of tat-stained skin-head neo-nazis on the one hand, or self-appointed militant holy-rolling 'do-gooders' on the other.
