Hi Steele,

I would fully support a thorough forensic examination of that massacre site. Any chance of crowd-funding it ?

Cheers,

Joe

Dear Loudmouth,

Why?

Hi Steele,

To show the world that such things happened, if they did. If you found out that some people massacred your great-grandparents' family, wouldn't you like to prove it ? And to identify the murderers if possible ?

And the same with all those other alleged massacres as well.

Why not ?

Cheers,

Joe

Dear Steele,

Australia Day should be an inclusive national
occasion and as I stated earlier whatever
happens Australia Day should be about unification
of Australia not dividing it as a society.
So having a conversation is very important at this
stage.

Thanks for your contribution.
It is as always appreciated.

Dear Joe,

'if they did', 'prove it', 'alleged massacres'.

Sorry mate but I have very little inclination to go down this path with you again.

If you want more information you can start here;

“Of particular note for this massacre is the extent of oral history and first hand accounts of the incident and detail in settler diaries, records of Weslayan missionaries, and Aboriginal Protectorate records. Following the massacre there was popular disapproval and censure of the leading perpetrator, Frederick Taylor, so that Taylor's River was renamed to Mount Emu Creek. The massacre effectively destroyed the Tarnbeere Gundidj clan.”

If you want to be in the probably 1% of the population who thinks this never happened you are welcomed to it.

Dear Foxy,

I did like this little quip in a newspaper;

"January 26th was the date the English established and offshore detention centre in the Pacific, forging a tradition we still observe today."
