Why? asks Cory Bernardi, outside the Adelaide Women's and Children's Hospital which now carries an unmemorable and unpronouncable name.

By MICHAEL SLOVANOS

IF you happen to be in Adelaide and your wife or child becomes sick, you should promptly take them to Ngankiku Ngartuku Kukuwardli! Who? What? Where? you ask, wondering if your auditory senses temporarily failed you.

“Oh, we forgot to tell you, that’s the name of what used to be known as the Adelaide Women’s and Children’s Hospital,” you might be told.

When Cory Bernardi, who is running for a seat in South Australia’s Upper House for One Nation, questioned the name of the “Niina Marni” Centre at Adelaide University he faced a backlash from the woke left. How dare he question an Indigenous name, they screamed.

However, Bernardi says he’s determined to highlight the absurdity of the name-changing revolution that has taken hold across the state, facilitated by the Liberal-Labor Uniparty.

It’s apparently part of the “Indigenisation” process going on in South Australia where the 43,000 people who identify as Indigenous have been given the right to vote for 14 representatives of seven areas of mostly desert bordering the NT-SA border in the north called the APY electorates.

The SA Electoral Commission says the Anangu Pitjantjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Executive Board “handles roads, buildings, mining, and other important matters for the community.”

However the Kaurna elders in Adelaide have been working with Adelaide City Council and various state governments since the early 2000s on dual naming of significant sites, in addition to identifying and shutting off various “sacred” or archaeologically-significant sites under the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1988.

“Nobody knows what these names mean. It is not only tokenistic, but also dangerous,” says Bernardi. “I’ve been approached by paramedics, police officers and truck drivers telling me they don’t understand and can’t read the new place names with ease, let alone pronounce them.

“The latest example is the Women’s and Children’s Hospital, which is also now referred to as “Ngangkiku Ngartuki, Kukuwardli”. Do you know what that means? We certainly don’t,” he says.

Local media has pointed out that the Kaurna dialect, the words translate into “a place of health that cares for women during pregnancy and birthing, babies, children and young people”.

The Guardian also highlighted the absurdity of words being invented for “First Nations language” to cover things that never existed in pre-European Aboriginal culture. For instance, Adelaide University is translated as Tirkangkaku – a name the university administrators say they are “proud to share, honour and promote”.

“Why are we doing this to ourselves? This is virtue signalling on steroids. We need to end it.” Bernardi continued. “In Australia, English is our language and it should be the only language displayed on our shared public buildings.

“Don’t let anyone tell you this stuff doesn’t matter. It does. It’s deeply insidious and ideological. In the sights of this pernicious agenda is our shared Anglo heritage, history and values.

“There are two choices. You either stand up against this agenda and push back, or accept defeat and watch piece by piece as our heritage risks being dismantled.”

Bernardi’s comments have created quite an cultural war, with opinion sharply divided between supporters and detractors. His other video questioned the Niina Marni sign outside Adelaide University. It apparently means “Hello, how are you?” Both videos attracted 100,000 likes.

Whether it will help his campaign is another issue, as he is just one of 48 candidates running for 11 of the 22 seats in the SA Legislative Council. There are 47 Lower House seats.

The SA election will be held on March 21st and will be seen as a test of the accuracy of recent national opinion polls showing One Nation surging ahead of the combined vote of the Liberal-National Coalition and the Greens.

32 thought on “Indigenous virtue signalling reaches absurd heights as SA hospital given bizarre new name”
  1. A separatist movement by any other name. Inspired by the foreign takeover specialists and their merchant navy. They came, they saw and can’t wait to concrete our shoes after we’re done with our smoking ceremonies in our opium and hopium dens. Welcome to country, welcome to the diverse nations of Australia.

  2. TO: Kancho Alan…
    I just saw an ad on SBS for what they call “… Groundbreaking NITV documentary series Our Medicine…” saying it “…shines a light on First Nations professionals and communities taking back control of Indigenous health…”
    Considering blaks claim to have been here for 65,000 or more years, why are they even attending ‘white’ Aussies hospitals or other medical professional organisations, let alone changing the names of ‘white’ Aussie infrastructure???
    And why are woke lefties – Labor/Greens/Teals and other idiots – kowtowing to them???
    [Kowtowing Synonyms: Fawning, toadying, bootlicking, truckling, bowing and scraping, groveling, and obsequious behavior.]

  3. Who built the damn hospital the Aboriginals what a load of nonsense. They will soon be wanting to change the name of Adelaide.

  4. ” a name that will be shortened to Niga Niga” – Best comment on the page.

  5. Hey folks,

    I’m noticing a certain ignorance by some of the commenters referring to one wing of the Hydra-headed foreign-owned Satanic Uniparty as the “Labour Party”.

    Sorry children, there’s no such thing, and using that label unjustly attributes some sort of productive quality to a pack of Treasonous infanticidal arseholes whose only object in life is the ruination of our country.

    The baby-eating genocidal mongrel arsehole bastards in THAT branch of Lucifer’s Army call themselves the “Labor Party”. Note the spelling, notice anything significant? Hint – The COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA CORPORATION is registered in Washington DC, folks, over there on the OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD.

  6. Well folks,

    When will the penny drop?

    We cannot reason with these untouchable two-faced lying grifting Treasonous unelected mongrel arsehole bastards, we cannot negotiate with them or persuade them or “vote” them or “petition” them back to sanity – because they DO NOT work for us nor do they answer to us.

    They have their OWN orders from their OWN masters, and what we think or say or try to do about ANY of it is like water off a duck’s back to them. Which is why they laugh in our faces and fart in our general direction whenever we make enough noise to maybe momentarily distract them from their Globalist-assigned tasks. Or maybe they just use their morning break to have some fun shitting in our faces before getting back to the hard task of demolishing our country. They can and DO do all of that and more with utter impunity, folks, because they ARE guaranteed their obscene salaraies and insanely lucrative retirement packages at our expense no matter what. They ARE untouchable, after all.

    Sturdy rope and lamp posts, folks, that’s the ONLY thing that will get these poisonous vermin off our backs. Not that it will matter much once they’re GONE and we’re done dancing on their shallow unmarked graves, because then we can FINALLY get on with the proper business of rebuilding our communities and society and economy and country the way it SHOULD be, the way WE choose, for our children and grandkids and all future generations.

    Five or six more years, folks – Judgement Day.

  7. If I have learned anything in 67 years it’s that the name of anything is vitality important. Most importantly your own name!

  8. Oh for F**k sake. The world has gone crazy. Ayres rock is still Ayres rock, Frazer Island still Frazer Island. Stop playing this absurd game. I simply can not be bothered with this silliness anymore.

  9. For a State that could invent Southwark Beer and actually enjoy drinking the stuff I doubt that delusional Mob of culturally delusioned who thought it was a crash hot idea to change the hospital name to a name that will be shortened to Niga Niga as it pronounced in its spelling .

  10. Happening in Australia
    Happening in New Zealand
    It is the work of the Fabian Socialists.
    Fronting for ??

  11. TO KEITH RALFS:
    Keith, it’s even STUPIDER than you think!!!
    “…Before European colonisation, there were over 250 distinct Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages, with around 800 dialects.
    Today, while over 150 languages are still spoken to some extent, most are considered endangered, with only about 13 to 20 traditionally spoken by all generations…”

  12. ‘Eh .. this place look all right
    We’ll tell the government it’s a sacred site
    Dead fuckin’ easy!’ – Kevin Bloody Wilson (Living next door to Alan)

  13. Didn’t aboriginals have about 100 plus tribes and languages. So only one tribe understands what the Adelaide women’s hospital is … out of 26 million Aussies.
    Labour is definitely small minded in this case … as in everything they do.

  14. As I’ve pointed out many times, the Labour Party and it’s followers are all still in kindergarten, but now they are using baby talk as their preferred language.

  15. That should be fun telling the foreign born taxi driver where you want to go to get your missus or kid medical aid in a hurry trying to pronounce the name let alone even remembering its proper flash new name ;I can’t spell it but I know how to swear vile words in Pitjantjara the translation being ;Get F’ked will be spoken by a lot of SA’s in the traditional lingo on what they think of the name change .
    In Qld the same intelligent mob must be responsible for the name change from Fraser Island to something that even confused the dingo population .
    What these culturally sensitive drongo’s don’t realize is the cost of changing the printing on signage which is already bloody expensive just to get a road sign for any Shire Council but every official document of will have to name change including staff ID and contact details and tourism and city mapping and the list goes on until someone in SA comes to their senses and rescinds such a nuisance it is .

    This registration and incorporation seems to me to mean that these corporations are owned and  operated by the governments they are incorporated with, as it seems doubtful that any Aboriginal organisation would receive that level of funding had they not incorporated. And would this incorporation mean that the various people in these “AbCorps” have ceded their  sovereignty? I think this is a very good question that needs some serious consideration. In any event, my video: https://rumble.com/v49aif3-australian-aboriginal-corporations-exposed.html Please note: my opinions are a political action protected by by Section 28 of the Crimes Act 1914 and Criminal Code Act 1995 as detailed in the attached copy of those Laws.

  17. How STUPID is this ? When apparently there are at least 27 different languages within the indigenous tribes

  19. Best to stay away from the hospitals until they are screaming for business. Kidney cleanse is very simple just drink a large glass of fresh beetroot juice once a week. Nattokinase for clogged veins and arteries. Lemon pith for psoriasis. Etc etc. Look it all up on brightanswers.ai and start teaching your kids natural medicine to heal yourself before you end up under the knife. Cory Bernardi is great as a human headline but who needs more division, if everyone runs to the hospital even before they get sick they will get the hospital treatment, that is tests galore, drugs, surgery and a humungus bill. Quite regularly the diagnosis is wrong anyway. Lately we hear diabetes has been found to be caused by parasites !!! Hold off on that leg amputation if it’s not too late already. Hospitals are expensive and over-rated, as is cross-town commuting and driving the kids to school. You fill up the petrol, you go to the hospital, Rockerfellas get a kickback. Do you really want Rockerfellas running the world ? I don’t expect Bernardi to rail against Chevron or Exxon or hospitals, but name changing per se is not an election issue, there are lots of areas where the “progressives” are completely useless. If Bernardi had a stronger platform than this he could aim for the lower house. The minor parties need a lot of seats in the lower house to direct policy. People vote ALP because they think they’ll get an extra $20 per week. Better to highlight how much that $20 is costing them. People want government jobs and work-from-home from the ALP, it’s up to Bernardi to counter this in a meaningful way. The ALP is collaborating with Trump to explode muslims while importing them as fast as they dare. We don’t want blood on our hands, or pay for it, or to be involved. If the Persians had WMD then why did Trump say he blew them all up a year ago. The ALP has been feeding division by teaching aborigines they are disadvantaged for decades. Why play into their hands. Bernardi is not UnaParty anymore with the red vs blue rubbish. The minor parties need to focus on ALP RACKETS with unions and UNDRIP arrangements. Where is the outrage about real things ???

  20. Virtue signaling

    https://cairnsnews.org/2026/03/14/indigenous-virtue-signalling-reaches-absurd-heights-as-sa-hospital-given-bizarre-new-name/

    To judge by Cory Bernardi’s name he is of Italian origin, which may give a hint to his evident sensitivity to considerations that escape dangerous unfortunates who know no other language but English. This is speculation, but even the term “virtue signaling” becomes less opaque if one knows Latin or Italian and know that “vir” is Latin for “man”. Australia is now importing population from almost everywhere and everyone starts insisting on their “native language rights” we are back at the Tower of Babel. Portuguese and Spanish imperialists had no qualms about conflating linguistic and religious considerations. It is only since the French got involved in the colonial (and enslaving) project that the idea gained ground that colonialists should be “on the side of the natives”. A knowledge of Latin (or indeed Italian) helps one understand the English language but if one really wants to go “back to the roots” one will learn Greek, modern Greek preferably because one cannot speak with the dead. There are good reasons for Australians to know something about the origins of human habitation on the Australian content, but for the purposes of politics, going back to the roots means going back to the foundation of the New South Wales Legislative Council https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qb5kT5XdEKE&t=1s, from shortly after the defeat of Napoleon (1823), and not long before the founding of the modern Greek state on 26th January (!) 1828. That, in conjunction with the introduction of modern Greek as compulsory second language in Australian schools will help to counteract the dangers of Islamization of Australia, without encouraging bigotry.

  21. Cant be Bothered with this Dead Language crap! All the Aboriginals I Have Known and there have been a lot, only speak English. This is being pushed by White or Off White Virtue signaling Left Wing Parasites. MONEY TALKS!

  22. It doesn’t go far enough! Every English street sign should be taken down and replaced with Indigenous signage.
    Aussie deserve to pay for it as they voted for it,
    Aussies = bovine.

  23. Another thing that annoys me is flamin’ blak dotty graffiti all over the place – buildings, road-works, vehicles, etc!

  24. By all means, let blaks/abos name the hospitals that they build/fund/staff, etc with blak/abo names!
    But… not Aussie buildings or anything built by us colonists over the last 238 years!

  25. No wonder the country is broke. Signs like that would cost a heap & the renaming of all the paperwork & computer sites etc etc across all the dozens of Gov departments just for this one Hospital will soar into the millions. Our Governments are acting like a a pack of dimwits, stooges & complete idiots. Shame on them .
