- Description: The Gimmigimmiwannit tribe perpetually have their hands out.

In Aboriginal culture, it’s called ‘humbugging’: pestering relatives and tribal acquaintances for money or goods, with no intention of paying it back or reciprocating. This blatant begging is passed off as a ‘traditional practice’, which has a grain of truth, given that marginal pre-contact tribes sometimes shared resources as a necessity. Today, though, it’s nothing more than lazy, greedy coercion.

And it goes on at all levels of Aboriginal Australian society.

In fact, the bigger the Big Men, the greedier the Gimmigimmiwannit tribe gets.

> [**Anthony Albanese**’s First Nations ambassador](https://www.theaustralian.com.au/nation/indigenous/first-nations-ambassador-and-staff-spent-730k-in-taxpayer-money-for-travelling/news-story/4968e07524baa3b6b19da0a5c39ae78b?ref=goodoil.news) has billed taxpayers more than three quarters of a million dollars for travel in just two years in the role and has travelled for a year’s worth of working days.

Just why the hell does Australia have a ‘First Nations ambassador’ anyway? Not only does it appropriate an American buzzword that has absolutely no relevance to Australia – after all, the first and only nation in any meaningful sense of the word on this continent was and is the Commonwealth of Australia – it necessarily carries a nasty tacit message.

An ambassador, after all, is *a diplomatic agent accredited to a *foreign government or sovereign* as the resident representative*. In other words, Aborigines are a foreign country to the rest of Australia. Albanese is trying to inveigle by stealth what was resoundingly defeated by referendum: the establishment of an Aboriginal ethnostate.

Leaving aside the essential nastiness of such an appointment, now that he has it, **Justin Mohamed** clearly intends to enjoy it.

> Mr Mohamed has spent $230,085.73 on international travel and $98,795.55 on domestic travel since his appointment in March 2023 to February 2025, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said.  
>  
> His staff spent $291,686.45 on international travel and $109,710.52 in that time.  
>  
> That adds up to $730,278.25.  
>  
> Mr Mohamed is also on a $948,937.50 contract with the ­government reportedly for 2½ years, which is equivalent to about $380,000 a year.  
>  
> In response to a question on notice from Senate estimates, the department also provided details of the 46 trips Mr Mohamed had taken in those two years.  
>  
> The lengths of those trips add up to 261 days, equivalent to the number of working days in one year.  
>  
> Destinations on those trips have included New York, Geneva, San Francisco, Dubai, Paris, ­Hawaii, Fiji, and Solomon Islands.

Like so many sucklers on the taxpayer teat, these greedy troughers make sure to get the whole family on the gravy train.

> [Mr Mohamed is married to](https://www.sbs.com.au/nitv/living-black/article/why-ambassador-justin-mohamed-is-leading-the-world-on-first-nations-issues/0j239lxp2?ref=goodoil.news) Narrunga Kaurna woman Dr **Janine Mohamed**, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, First Nations at the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA).

The NDIS. Of *course* it’s the NDIS: the biggest government-run scam in Australian history wouldn’t be complete without a grasping trougher scarfing up as much of the gibsmedat as she can.

It’s not all winning for the money-grubbing cargo cultists, though.

> [The Federal Court has](https://theconversation.com/federal-court-rules-australian-government-doesnt-have-a-duty-of-care-to-protect-torres-strait-islanders-from-climate-change-259999?ref=goodoil.news) handed down its long-awaited judgement in a four-year climate case brought by Torres Strait Islanders.  
>  
> Elders Uncle **Pabai Pabai** and Uncle **Paul Kabai** took the Australian government to court on behalf of their community, arguing the government has a duty of care to protect them from climate change. They also asked the court to legally recognise the cultural loss and harm they are experiencing from sea-level rise and climate-induced flooding.  
>  
> But the court declined to recognise either duty or to legally recognise cultural harm.

Because they’re both a load of steaming monkey bollocks.
