One Nation NSW's Mark Latham says the party will introduce laws to force anyone claiming Aboriginal ancestry to prove it with a DNA test in a bid to stop "welfare rorters".
Mr Latham said under the current system of self-identification, "rorters and opportunists were masquerading as Indigenous" and accessing special Aboriginal programs and welfare benefits.Self-identification refers to the voluntary and confidential declaration of Aboriginal identity and allows employers and institutions to keep track of how many Aboriginal people are applying for jobs or using services and make improvements where required.
"My campaign is honoured to have received his donation support and I aim not to let him and other supporters down as I pursue our policy agenda in NSW Parliament, if elected."
EstherHjHan Latham probably thinks you can rock up to the “welfare office” & say “I’m Aboriginal” & they say “cool, here’s your millions”🙄 idiot racistidiot
EstherHjHan How handy that so many Aboriginals were killed off over time, will make it really easy to knock back thousands. Plus lest we forget another Govt had tests of purity. Didn’t work out well for anyone. Disgusting barely scratches the surface auspol OneNationfail NotAustralian
EstherHjHan Should’ve been the law to start with you Nongs.
EstherHjHan Absolutely unless we have our own Pocahontas’s who might not be keen to participate.
EstherHjHan We also hate rorters of parliamentary pensions when the recipients are much younger than the normal retirement age
watchmysting EstherHjHan Hey, if the DNA test is good enough for the Apache Indians it's good enough for the Aborigines, Well done Mark Latham don't take any notice of the self hating caucasians. 😀
EstherHjHan Isn't this really a Federal issue if it is one at all?
EstherHjHan Whatever anyone thinks about RealMarkLatham good for you however no one here seems to be addressing the real issue that Latham is talking about. Is there really no check on people’s claims to entitlements reserved for genuine indigenous people
EstherHjHan Everybody hates Latham
EstherHjHan He needs his sanity tested
EstherHjHan DNA test all politicians to see if they are human or just blood sucking leeches or pigs with their snout in the trough. I dead set reckon some of 'em would fail. auspol
EstherHjHan Whar next, any child with what the government decides isn’t “enough” Aboriginal DNA gets taken off their parents? We’ve done this before, and it wasn’t good then.
EstherHjHan I think he is just an awful human. NSWpol
EstherHjHan Eugenics and Naziism, totally love the direction this party is taking....... Not.
EstherHjHan I propose a law ensuring only people with an IQ of over 30 are allowed to vote. We will see how One Nation polls then
EstherHjHan Hateful, hurtful rubbish policy based on a lie...
warwick13 EstherHjHan Racists are worse.
EstherHjHan Why pick on the poor?
EstherHjHan Adding to my comment below, here’s an article that Mr Latham would benefit from reading
MorpheusBeing EstherHjHan Glass houses Latham, glass houses.
EstherHjHan For those living in outback communities you will know there is some reasoning in this. However it would have to be done diplamaticaly. Individuals only need to get signature of an elder as to their aborinal status
EstherHjHan Is it going to be retrospective till 1901? Will it give compensation to those given 'protection' who had pay stolen by 'protectors' based on some Board's opinion that they looked brown enough? If they have the 'right' DNA do they get families' pay back with interest?
EstherHjHan the guy on a federal parliamentary pension going for state senate seat ....hello double dipping ,what a freaking hypocrite .
EstherHjHan Esther Han and SMH editors. Thanks for publishing ON propaganda unchallenged. This is not journalism channel 9.
EstherHjHan Sounds like Germany 1934.
EstherHjHan Breaking news.......One Nation politicians to be DNA tested to confirm they are the offspring of Madam Pauline and Chairman Donald.
EstherHjHan A slippery slope. Why stop at proving Aboriginality? Why not open it up to proving Anglo Celtic ancestry?
EstherHjHan Similar crap has been tried before ... by the Nazis. The Greater Aryan certificate (Großer Ariernachweis) had to trace the family pedigree down to 1800 (and to 1750 for SS officers) to preserve the Purity of German Blood. Didn't turn out well.
EstherHjHan Nazis
EstherHjHan Great, i now indentify as indigenous, now how do i get these grants and free stuff?
EstherHjHan One Nation and the National Party have lost their way! Two parties not to vote for! VoteNatsLast auspol
EstherHjHan PHON are Prime rorters
EstherHjHan Anyone smell the stench of fascist in the wind? auspol AusVotes2019 racistscum
EstherHjHan Is there a DNA test for idiots! We could get rid of many current and aspiring Politicians
EstherHjHan Whitlam would be appalled! Whatever did he see in Latham?
EstherHjHan
EstherHjHan
EstherHjHan Perhaps RealMarkLatham should have to prove he’s not as mad as a cut snake?
EstherHjHan I agree with this decision. I know of someone who was going to claim Aboriginal welfare and benefits because someone told them they looked aboriginal.
EstherHjHan Racists to the bitter end. They don’t need to try hard. They’re assured of between 7 & 10% of Australia’s die hard white supremacists support & will attract taxpayers money based on the number of votes they get. Can be relied upon to vote with lnp every time🤮🤮🤮
EstherHjHan I’m aboriginal, where’s my benefits. I don’t have to prove anything
Disgusting.
EstherHjHan One Notion: all they have is racism
EstherHjHan There should be one for pollies like her to ensure they are human and not just bonobos infiltrating the human world to cause chaos and mayhem!
EstherHjHan This coming from one of the biggest rorters in politics. How about we focus less on why we give welfare to people and more about a treaty that's 200 years too late
EstherHjHan auspol I think Mark Latham should provide DNA to prove he has distanced himself from a Neanderthal!
EstherHjHan Do they realise that it’s quite likely that basically EVERYONE 3 generations into Australia has a bit of indigenous ancestry in them?
EstherHjHan Go back through everyone
EstherHjHan Fantastic idea. That way the funds go to where they are needed!
EstherHjHan Having a % of Irish blood does not make me Irish. Likewise for every other genetic variation. One RACE = The HUMAN RACE.
EstherHjHan
EstherHjHan Fringe politicians should be given media coverage equivalent to their voter numbers.
EstherHjHan Mr Latham needs to stop embarrassing himself with this rude, racist and disrespectful nonsense.
EstherHjHan Is there a DNA test for Right Wing Genius Genome? I guess not because Latham would be the first to fail!
EstherHjHan All Politician s standing for election must take a DNA Test to make sure they are on the same Planet as US , 1nation1vote & Mad Lathan need to take 2 , just to confirm the first was not a Fluke
EstherHjHan An IQ test should be a prerequisite for One Nation members. None of them would pass.
EstherHjHan Isn't this a...hole on a pension?
EstherHjHan Mark Latham is a nut job
EstherHjHan many aboriginal descendants are white and fair but they are still Aboriginal I know many they are racist bastards one nation feeding on prejudice they are parasites
EstherHjHan It must be awful to live with such a dark soul.
EstherHjHan Know the test MarkLatham should take
EstherHjHan Reading these comments is concerning. They clearly don't care about the fact that money is being stolen from the first nations people by fraudsters.
EstherHjHan Good, so they should.
JamesDe34061167 EstherHjHan Great idea.
EstherHjHan latest attempt to get back on the tax payer gravy train via a party that has tried to divide and conquer Australia for decades, they use fear and hate because they have no Policies or prospects . in their small mindedness it is always about money.
EstherHjHan Perfectly reasonable
EstherHjHan Does the dumb F'wit MarkLatham even know how DNA detection & analysis works? School children have better grasp of Science than most right wing nut job politicians. PaulineHansonOz
EstherHjHan Whatva f%in Goose!
EstherHjHan I have an English, Irish and Scottish ancestry, if any of those ancestors passed land on it would be mine regardless of what a test says
EstherHjHan Idiot , has no idea
EstherHjHan If they knew anything they would know that’s rarely possible
EstherHjHan Hell yeah! We despise your tax-payer funded rorting that you get for being a douche bag. It boils my blood you get to live like a king while we plebs pay for you to sit on a public throne and throw shit at anyone beneath you! The budget would be far better off with you lot gone😠
EstherHjHan Good. Too many fraudster out there.
pchr5205 EstherHjHan 🤢🤮
EstherHjHan More hurt for Aboriginal people RealMarkLatham auspol
EstherHjHan Total disrespect for the traditions and culture of the indigenous people who have fostered this land for no less than 60,000 years. Their DNA is their DNA. Respect it. They have much to teach us if only our uneducated, ignorant, unwilling minds would shut the fuck up and listen.
EstherHjHan WTFF?
EstherHjHan This is maximum stupid. If this gets over the line I am moving to Canberra with a cricket bat to camp out front of Parliament House until common sense prevails.
EstherHjHan Sounds fair enough. If they had nothing to hide then why care?
EstherHjHan great idea need to prove your race if getting better special benefits only for a particular race
EstherHjHan One fuckup.
EstherHjHan We don’t need a DNA test to establish that he is a fuckwit
EstherHjHan Oh get stuffed
EstherHjHan They are of a particular kind of stupid.
EstherHjHan Just a detail. The current standard is a) self-identifaction PLUS b) recognised as a member of their indigenous community. Latham is inaccurate and ignorant. And racist.
EstherHjHan Next PHON will be spruiking quartercaste octoons & such nonsense. Racist dog piddler Latham Hanson & co.
EstherHjHan Can we start by requiring DNA tests on PaulineHansonOz & RealMarkLatham to prove they are not Neanderthal VoteThemOut NSWvotes
EstherHjHan i would be quite content if everyone in one nation happened to burst into flames where they stood and burnt right down to the ground
EstherHjHan Then what? How are you going to use the reports?
EstherHjHan One Nation should not be allowed to field candidates whose DNA contains no Aboriginal component. It's One Nation, isn't it? They fail if they aren't at least part-Indigenous.
EstherHjHan Yaas! Finally some common sense from a politician.
EstherHjHan Are they going to call it the Elizabeth Warren Act?
EstherHjHan A LOT of the Nats squattocracy would NOT like that! Some Establishment families have 'dark' secrets from Colonial times.😉
EstherHjHan I actually thought aboriginals would be in favour of this? They are getting money taken away from them by fraudsters!
EstherHjHan Another reason NOT to vote for OneNation...as if you needed another one! nswpol NSWVotes2019 auspol AusVotes2019
EstherHjHan I want him and carrot Top to do an IQ test. When it comes back they both score under 85, they should lose their jobs. And pensions.
EstherHjHan this and then albericie asking min wage earners if they dip into their savings😳 makes no sense!
cunningham_cch EstherHjHan Lets start with him and Hanson!
EstherHjHan Anyone anyone did he say anyone surely not the TIWI ISLANDERS it's laughable
EstherHjHan Sick
EstherHjHan The result being a database of Aboriginal people lying around the government offices. Waiting for some despot to exploit. Sometimes Latham is disturbingly old school National Socialistic.
EstherHjHan Why would anybody fake being an aboriginal in this country with the level of prejudice the likes of your political party partake.
EstherHjHan Disabled have to prove they’re disabled to get welfare ...just sayin’.
EstherHjHan I personally know someone who falsely claims indigenous status (thanks to a relative who worked in the GOV decades ago). Both his mother & father were born overseas. I have no issue with indigenous getting special services & benefits only the CHEATS who rip off the system.
EstherHjHan that's got to be the most offensively racist thing I've heard in years
EstherHjHan Can One Nation do an IQ test to prove that they have a brain and therefore a right to be paid by the tax payers as they sit on s chair and do fuck all but spread hate !
EstherHjHan How about the rest of Australia be required to take DNA tests to prove *their* ancestry. What next from these regressive knuckle staggers? Special badges and camps?
EstherHjHan wow what a dreadful duo. they have no bottom to their hateful minds
EstherHjHan As long as Latham gets a head scan to find his brain!
EstherHjHan RealMarkLatham: “ Everybody hates a welfare rorter” Everybody: “Not as much as we hate RealMarkLatham!”
EstherHjHan He should be more concerened with people who rort the disability system and make it hard for the genuine ones in need to get the support they need. Our government seriously gets stupider by the day 🤦♀️
banas51 EstherHjHan Noooo!
EstherHjHan Have they heard of privacy?
EstherHjHan Why only aborigines?
EstherHjHan This is because people think if you are aboriginal - you are getting lots of freebies and welfare -!which is true!
EstherHjHan Mark Latham is simply a mentally unstable low life marklatham
EstherHjHan And this will be administered by Centrelink? What could possibly go wrong with this?!? 🤦♂️
banas51 EstherHjHan They should have to have a DNA test to prove they are human & a test for sanity
EstherHjHan I’m more against politicians that use racial stereotypes as a way of bringing in policies inspired by eugenics in an attempt to get the redneck vote.
EstherHjHan Next thing the Liberals will do is name Latham as an Indigenous Envoy to support his fellow bigot, Tony Abbott, continue in his role of dehumanising First Nations people. There’s no need to highlight the extremist racist behaviours of One Nation. They act as white supremacists.
EstherHjHan Then why arent we drug testing welfare folks too? Im not paying taxes so they can blow it on weed
EstherHjHan Why not sort out all those dodgy S44’s first. An absolute shambles! auspol
EstherHjHan Pauline Hanson has been rorting taxpayers and the electoral system for years.
p_hannam EstherHjHan Latham has turned in to a genuine dill...
EstherHjHan Good!! Way too easy for these frauds to get a payment tbat should not exist !! The DNA should be the one drop rule used In anti miscegenation laws in the USA south
EstherHjHan Awful lot of white aborigines out there, just saying
EstherHjHan when he proposes compulsory yellow stars, will smh publish any analysis, or just a similar indulgent promotion? seeSomethingSaySomething
Okay, probably time to stop giving these idiots a platform.
EstherHjHan So imagine how much we hate a useless waste of space like RealMarkLatham who costs us 6 times as much.
news_australian EstherHjHan A remarkably sensible idea! Aboriginal welfare is a funding chasm that no government has the guts to control. I know from experience in my own family.
EstherHjHan Some facts would have helped rein in the racism. Eg 'even an accurate genetic test wouldn’t, on its own, determine whether someone is an Indigenous Australian.'
EstherHjHan I propose that it back made mandatory for all One Nation supporters to be DNA tested to verify they are human
EstherHjHan Yes, about time..... Too many Ozzie “Pocahontas Warren” wannabes claiming what they are not entitled to. A long overdue great policy.
EstherHjHan About fucking time....
EstherHjHan Waiting for all the Leftist conspirators saying this is a veiled attempt for the Government to have the DNA of all indigenous people on file.
EstherHjHan Trying to ‘Merica so hard.
EstherHjHan what exactly are the extra benefits that aborigines get for being part aboriginal? (I really do not know).
EstherHjHan Just to add to my previous post when my mum was claiming the pension many years ago she was asked 3 times if she was of aboriginal heritage She said no each time . When she ask why u keep asking me this question the lady behind the desk said under the privacy act noone can check
EstherHjHan Proof for claiming a valued identity. Shocking.
EstherHjHan The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wise people are so full of doubts. Bertrand Russell
EstherHjHan We should DNA test everyone and force those not up to scratch to wear patches on their arms.
EstherHjHan Bloody hell. 'Sorry, you aren't quite genetically pure enough. Damn shame that pearling crew used your great-grandma as a sex slave, huh?'
EstherHjHan So it should be.
EstherHjHan Pauline should have to prove she has two brain cells.
EstherHjHan Our bloody politicians are bigger rorters and rip off merchants than what Centrelink recipients are.
EstherHjHan Everyone hates a Cabbie basher.
EstherHjHan Racist proposal Enough
EstherHjHan Sanity test for parliamentarians would be more helpful.
EstherHjHan Esther - repeating a One Nation press release without any criticism or analysis is not ok. This is facist, racist, eugenics bullshit. without looking at what it’s designed to do (dehumanise Aborginal people), you’ve legitimised is. Harmful, lazy reporting
EstherHjHan I’m no Latham or one nation fan but it seems a reasonable expectation. People have to prove they need welfare, the pension or any other government benefit.
EstherHjHan What does a DNA test prove? What markers are necessary?
Backoff11111 EstherHjHan How about weeding out the single mums with 5 kids and 5 fathers, living with their partners. Or the cash money cowboys, cash in hand jobs and collecting benefits. The rorting pollies, who are never accountable.
EstherHjHan This really is going to be excellent. On any issue, there is a Latham Diaries entry to either (a) demonstrate the motivation for Latham’s positions or (b) demonstrate that he’s an opportunistic bullshit artist
EstherHjHan Mark Latham is a vile human being.
EstherHjHan Another example of politicians promoting impossible policy...highlighting their lack of evidence based policy. It's not possible to test DNA for Aboriginality bcos the tests are not capable of providing such specific locations in their results. They also can't test for culture.
EstherHjHan Everybody else has to prove who they are why shouldn’t Aboriginals.
EstherHjHan Why not introduce DNA testing to test whether someone has a propensity for excessive bullshit?
EstherHjHan I agree. Does she look Aboriginal to you. Me thinks not. RealMarkLatham
EstherHjHan If they truely have aboriginal ancestors, then they have nothing to worry about. This is not to deprive anyone legitimately claiming the benefit, but to weed out the frauds.
EstherHjHan We really do need a more honest and fair welfare system.....
EstherHjHan That just killed ON of me ever even thinking of voting for them. Pauline needs to prove for Australianism by DNA.
EstherHjHan Best thing that ever happened
EstherHjHan Perhaps every Caucasian should have a DNA test to prove they are invaders in Australia, with reparations payable to the Aboriginal people for their rorting of terra nullus.
EstherHjHan What about a law requiring foreign students to prove they’re actually studying instead of enrolling in sham language colleges while working for corrupt franchises?
EstherHjHan Bloody oath I do agree with this especially in this age SCAM
EstherHjHan It’s always the white, hetero Anglo men that we all need to prove our worth too. They get to decide if we’re valid. So tired of it.
EstherHjHan That would make a small amount of sense if claiming to be aboriginal conferred any sort of financial advantage, which of course it doesn’t. Pauline’s been making this ridiculous claim for decades. auspol
EstherHjHan Disappointing how people go on the attack simply because they do not like the man. Whoever/Whatever Latham is, the idea has merit. If people have nothing to hide, they'd appreciate that the paying public would like to know their money is being spent on bona fide recipients.
EstherHjHan So when one notion is in govt this is what they will do, fucking dream on
EstherHjHan Fashy
EstherHjHan So the party with absolutely no branches in their family trees want to force DNA testing on others. Yet again proves that irony is not dead Put PHONy back in the bin auspol
EstherHjHan I agree
EstherHjHan Excellent, well done.
news_australian EstherHjHan Why not, I’m disabled and to get a disability pension I had to get a doctor to sign off to confirm I’m disabled, actually it was a few doctors RealMarkLatham
EstherHjHan he needs to prove hes not a reptile
rightoutpeter EstherHjHan Do it for Tasmania I want to see how many actually are aboriginal as the numbers have gone from 600- 700 in the 1970’s to 35,000 now . I checked mine through family history research but claim nothing from government and not a part of organisation
EstherHjHan Don't give them the coverage for their shitty ideas,
EstherHjHan Mark Latham should be required to prove he's human through dna testing
EstherHjHan *Nine’s The Sydney Morning Herald
EstherHjHan And I'm sure a micro-chip is included in their plans too. OneNationUnderLatham WatchOutPauline BetrayalOfParty
EstherHjHan auspol Mark Latham is busy proving beyond any doubt what an appalling racist he actually is!
EstherHjHan There is no way this data will be kept safe. The Australian government doesn't even understand encryption property and you can already buy stolen Australian Medicare data on the internet. This isn't even considering the internal//3rd party vendor misuse of the DNA data
EstherHjHan Is there an aboriginal genome? Is aboriginality defined simply by genes. I think not
EstherHjHan If DNA tests are the answer to welfare rorting maybe 7 year tax audits are the answer for our politicians? I bet that’s worth more in losses to the people.
EstherHjHan It’s time the govt tax all businesses making money off of indigenous lands a separate tax for indigenous people. Oh & Latham? He can shove his DNA test up Pauline’s bum 😝
EstherHjHan I rather psychological, ethics & competency tests as well as random drug screening of all politicians. Probably be a good idea to also have their finances, donations & business relationships looked into.
EstherHjHan I demand a DNA sample from RealMarkLatham so to exclude his fuckwitery from any lifeform.
EstherHjHan I guess we don’t need to DNA test One Nation members and supporters to see if they’re cnuts. We just know that they are
Wish we could do something about the politicians rorting!
news_australian EstherHjHan What a disgusting and racist law.
EstherHjHan Apparently a DNA test will not prove aboriginality. Still that won't stop the racist dog whistling.
EstherHjHan This is a bit rich, Latham, given the shedloads of cash politicians get when they 'retire'.
EstherHjHan No help unless you also have a definition of what constitutes Aboriginal ancestry for the purposes of the associated 'benefits'
EstherHjHan Absolutely wonderful idea
EstherHjHan Why does this story quote One Nation's statement and Mark Latham but no one else? Wouldn't it be good to talk to, say, an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander community leader?
EstherHjHan Those who suffer relevance depravation like to make noises. Just because we hear an arsehole fart though, doesn't mean we're going to need the mop
EstherHjHan 'Everyone hates a rorter', says old flog who tries to maintain relevance by making incendiary comments while sitting around on a 6 figure parliamentary pension
EstherHjHan Well, if they can't prove a legitimate certified genealogical chart then, like anyone they're going to have to prove Aboriginality. Otherwise all Aussies could claim Aboriginality. I guess then there's no need for any change in constitution, won't need to acknowledge country etc.
EstherHjHan What a grubby man
EstherHjHan Blame the people who have rorted the system for so long. The dishonest people made it harder for the honest people
EstherHjHan self promoting unpleasantness. This man rails against poir people while on a generous lifetime indexed pension which he will draw in addition to a Parliamentary salary if elected. whited sepulcher
EstherHjHan If government (including the racist left) stopped treating Aboriginals differently, people wouldn't wrongfully claim such ancestry.
EstherHjHan Or, you know, just end racist welfare systems.
stephanos3867 EstherHjHan I heard that Geoff Clarke has volunteered to be the first to step forward to get the ball rolling.
EstherHjHan and these psychos are routinely given prime time slots on TV to spruik their horrible views. good one guys.
EstherHjHan All those wasted years in the ALP. Latham is a One Nation natural.
EstherHjHan Should be law .
EstherHjHan Unfortunately he might have a point as i know of someone who claimed it and under the privacy they got away with it Sad but true
EstherHjHan This is getting really bad how much more can people take from people of a low calibre such as Mark Latham auspol
EstherHjHan As long as all One Nation voters are subject to an IQ test. Anyone short of three figures doesn’t get to vote. That should wipe the drongos out electorally. PHON Auspol Racism Intellectualism Sun7
EstherHjHan Great idea. If you see some of the people who go into Gov offices pretending to be Aboriginal so they can get extra benefits, its a joke !
EstherHjHan Alot of scammers having cold sweats
EstherHjHan Problem is Ancestry DNA tests don’t report on Aboriginal DNA.
EstherHjHan Well, we won't need to DNA test Mark Latham to see if he's an asshole.
p_hannam EstherHjHan Latham should take a DNA test to run for Parliament. His humanity needs to be established.
EstherHjHan Truly awful.
EstherHjHan WEll almost everyone hates Mark Latham who is living on a public pension
rightoutpeter EstherHjHan Perfectly acceptable idea unless you have something to hide.
EstherHjHan Idiots
EstherHjHan Is there a white supremacist DNA test?
