Nice little vignette there having an Aborigine Indigenous Australian person on hand to serve drinks to the English discoverer Filthy Pom invader.

Maybe they have something with the "more appropriate, less appropriate format" idea. So while to me most people I meet are top blokes, I do ocassionally happen upon those who are right cnuts and I would be correct in using that term, it being "more appropriate".

There IS a lot of bolloxology around these days.

"The University of New South Wales (UNSW) Indigenous Terminology guide states that Australia was "invaded, occupied and colonised"."

That seems to about cover the limesuckers' act - what's the problem?

I'm not too sure what the fuss is about, I hate the PC brigade of whinging do gooders as much as you guys but I'm sure, as far as the Aboriginals saw it, they were in fact invaded, They'd been here for 50'000 years and were almost completely wiped out in a lot of places, History's perspective always seems to be written by the victor.... ;)  Fire away boys.... ;D

It's cheaper to learn from someone else's experience but first you have to learn to tell the difference between a fact and a Furphy.
