Change the Seasons … White Racism! By James Reed

The woke must have plenty of time on their hands to think of things like changing the seasons to be consistent with indigenous interpretations of reality. But, why stop there? If we are going to go down that line, adopt indigenous dreamtime cosmology instead of modern astrophysics, and maybe indigenous medicine as well. Come to think of it, there may not be much difference, after the Covid mind rot, of replacing healthcare workers with the traditional kurdaitcha man.

“Australia's seasons are inaccurate relics of colonialism and should be replaced with Aboriginal ones, politically correct rabble rousers claim.

Melburnians complained online they were still shivering through near-freezing weather despite it being days into spring, with 2.4C recorded.

Some Australians pointed out that the country is one of the few countries in the world that changes seasons on the same date every year.

Other countries use solstice dates that shift slightly every year and actually correspond with the timing of the seasons.

Reddit users said the meteorological system was 'arbitrary for convenience' while astronomical timing - which determines the beginning of a new season based on solstices and equinoxes - worked for Europe and the United States. 

'A lot of countries don't divide seasons by calendar months like we do, they divide them by the equinoxes and solstices. Which makes a lot of sense,' one user wrote. 

'The reason people always complain about the weather in Melbourne is because they're measuring it against the norms of traditional European seasons from the other side of the globe,' another user wrote.

Others argued Australia should adopt an indigenous weather calendar, which is guided by the environment in a specific area of the country.

'The Wurundjeri people followed seasons based on actual observation of conditions, rather than trying to shoehorn the weather into categories that apply to Western Europe,' one wrote.

'Many indigenous groups had six seasons - seems like they make a lot more sense for our climate and I wish we'd use them instead,' another added.

Over thousands of years, Aboriginal peoples measured the seasons guided by the land and ecological factors, with the number of seasons ranging from two to six. 

The Gariwerd calendar, which covers the Grampians and Gariwerd region in Victoria. lists six seasons with Petyan - wildflower season - beginning towards the end of September.

Petyan is marked by tempestuous weather, warmer days and the bush bursting into life. 

The D'harawal calendar, which extends from the southern shores of Sydney Harbour to the the Shoalhaven River in NSW, also observes six different seasons. 

 According to the calendar, the region is in the time of Ngoonungi. A period from September to October characterised as cool but getting warmer. 

Whereas the months of November and December are warm and wet under the Parra'dowee season.” 

 Actually, the indigenous seasons are equally arbitrary, since there are no sharp division between say winter and spring, with spring days in most of Australia being as cold, or colder than winter. So, maybe there are only two season, miserable, and more miserable!
