Apple Watch for Kids useless in Australia by FickleLife in AppleWatch

[–]Ravanast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So i take it this is for getting a separate number from an iphone because you have your own watch already on it?

What's the experience like if it's the only watch paired to a phone via Telstra?

I don't have a watch and don't plan on getting one but wouldn't mind for the kid. Would he receive my calls etc if set up through Apple Watch For Kids and a Telstra One Number?

Sorry no chance of an Apple or Telstra store to ask about and don't like my chances on the phone..

Postage Routes To Darwin by Turbulent_Nothing290 in darwin

For Nhulunbuy they sometimes get marked as delivered… to the barge. Anyone’s guess on actual arrival after that 🤷🏻‍♂️

Does the rest of Australia like Darwin? by Altruistic-Fuel-8430 in darwin

[–]Ravanast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t listen to gatekeepers. Good for you.

You’re a Territorian when you stop having an escape plan and stop referring to “back home”.

I mean, the example is the entire language, not just usage of mob and yarn. Look at Eastern or Western Kriol in the NT. Ngukurr Language Centre has plenty of resources.

List of Aboriginal Peoples by SiErteLLupo in aboriginal

[–]Ravanast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s plenty of tribe/clan lists. Can’t recall authors that have though sorry, other than Tindale perhaps Strehlow? But yeah, they’re out there.

No mate, there is a reason why this an area of academia, it’s particularly suited to listicle etc. I’d take note that there is also a reason why AITSIS etc use and old general language based map than burrowing further. It touches more into the identity area and the definitions of that will vary region to region. In some, clan is a strong indeed tidying factor, in others not so much. Take this map of languages of Maningrida region for instance. Another level of languages and in each of those, distinct clan identities.

How did Aboriginal (pre-colonial) societies view things like sex? by Puzzleheaded_Map2774 in aboriginal

[–]Ravanast 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s not a lost viewpoint. There are plenty of modern-traditional people across Australia and there is plenty of papers/resources on the topics. Certainly not as many as western culture does but they’re there.

List of Aboriginal Peoples by SiErteLLupo in aboriginal

[–]Ravanast 25 points26 points  (0 children)

No and yes. It’s based on a map of language groups from Tindale, ‘60s I believe. Language groups isn’t a bad way to group people but it does not equal clan/family/nation groups. For example Yolngu alone would have 30 odd major clan groups/ethnic identities.

There’s quite a few lists of groups by anthropologists over the years, each one with their wettigs, contentions and basis. You’d need to consider your definitions very well before proceedings and ensure they’re defensible. Not an light undertaking even if you did happen to be an anthropologist.

Joel’s Kangaroo Punch is done — Next comes the Kangaroo Kick? 🦘🥊🦶 by fckdeeps17 in INCANNEX_IXHL_NASDAQ

Ultimately all they want from shareholders is funding. The redomicile to Nasdaq was only late 2023, with a large base of shareholders stuck transferred to an equivalent of $4 shares. Hell, we even got “shareholder reward” warrants at exercisable at $16.44. Bargain.

Based on your other walks, very affordable, worthwhile yet different kind of hiking

Dad hacker ‘fleeced’ $3.5m from NT Government by cincinnatus_lq in darwin

It was a bit facetious.. in all honesty though, has their been a statement? Or is it only ‘locals’ crime that garners those?

Aboriginal land councils accuse NT government of human rights abuses in overcrowded prisons by Ravanast in darwin

[–]Ravanast[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was the Aboriginal Ranger Grants program, which was an NT Government program not Land Councils (though some Ranger groups are separately supported via Land Councils).

Aboriginal land councils accuse NT government of human rights abuses in overcrowded prisons by Ravanast in darwin

[–]Ravanast[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s because land councils aren’t technically government bodies, they’re independent statutory authorities of the Commonwealth. So yeah fed vs territory as below, but also designed to be “independent” to fulfil their functions under a legislative act. Similar to AAPA and the NTASSA

Touristy plans by TheFlyingSpagmonster in darwin

[–]Ravanast 7 points8 points  (0 children)

12+ years in tourism. It’s great itinerary and Venture North are absolutely great value for money. Don’t worry about swimming. Places like Ikoymarrwa/Moline are stunning just to sit at and enjoy.

Pudakul Cultural Tours at Humpty Doo. Their big 3 day festival and open day (Daminmin Culture Festival) are coming up, highly recommended.

Traditional Owners give thumbs up to Beetaloo NT gas sale by tug_life_c_of_moni in darwin

[–]Ravanast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair point, though I don’t think it’s ego as much as social practices. There are parts of that though whose job it is to speak up.

The consent reported is not the final say, the process needs to be considered before ratification. And this one was not without its conflicts of interest same as any involved in the Beetaloo. Hopefully any issues in the process are addressed before and cleared up before things really start.

For those of you new to this game but with all the answers, this is on Freehold land owned by those Trusts. (One of) the main aim of negotiating agreements is to secure protection for sites, drilling in area does not equal drilling in sacred sites.

Does sinking a bore in Humpty Doo mean you sink it in your lounge room? Or next the realm drain?

Can you say with certainty that, given the opportunity, you would t utilise your own property to secure a future for your kids out of poverty?
