I was just thinking yesterday that we just don't have enough public awareness and acceptance of Native Australian languages and dialects.

I can't think of a single saying from Native Australian culture in common usage, I know a few place names and objects and animals, I know pretty much no kriol.

This makes me so sad, we are all poorer for the lack.
