Hi there Indy, you are confused again, I know that bloke you "met the other day" he's not Aboriginal at all, he's African American and his name is Uncle Tom.

Hello Joe, I didn't realise Mother Teresa was also an Aboriginal Protector in South Aussie, I stand corrected. It is reported that Adolf Hitler once said on seeing a goldfish in a bowel; "How cruel it is to keep a goldfish in a bowel". It takes all kinds!

Well Joe, we have discussed the Rufus Creek Massacre previously, where SA Aboriginal "Protector" Moorehouse led a party of whites to indiscriminately murder about 40 Aboriginal men, women and children. Maybe you can find a letter from Moorehouse where he gave the survivors a few blankets or something to calm them down. Can put it up on the good old website.

Paul, you don’t seem to actually study the finer details of many of the events you mention.
Firstly, white people didn’t kill thousands of aboriginal people during settlement times. The biggest killer of aboriginal people was disease. Measles, tb, venereal disease, etc.
The second largest cause of death was murder by the native police, who killed thousands of aboriginal people, mainly tribal enemies, especially in Qld.
As for that massacre you mention, well according to accounts, it wasn’t indiscriminate, it was the end result of 6 months of guerilla type warfare, initially provoked by white men not handing over the food and tools they had promised for the women handed over to them by their husbands.
Quite frankly, as far as I’m concerned, any man who loans out his wife in exchange for food deserves everything he gets.

Hi Paul,

I certainly wouldn't want a goldfish swimming around in my bowels. Neither would it.

Perhaps you can join the dots between Aboriginal Protectors here in tiny South Australia and the wonderful (strangely non-left) Mother Teresa. No doubt, you hunger to do some of the sort of work that she did for fifty years, to show that people on the 'left' care so much about alleviating the sufferings of others, when you're not busy talking about it with your inner-city friends. Oh, they don't talk about such things ? Quel surprise.

But you might be too busy, joining the dots between SA Protectors and the Japanese fascist machine of the Second World War.

Joe

Paul1405 is running out of sense rapidly.

Dear Paul,

Perhaps some of our posters need to do some research
on Australian history - particularly on something
called "Australian Frontier Wars".

Wikipedia would be an easy place to start. It tells
us about the "violent conflict between Indigenous
Australians and White Settlers during the British
colonisation of Australia." Wikipedia says that -
"the first fights took place several months
after the landing of the First Fleet in Jan. 1788
and the last occurred in the early 20th century as
late as 1934."

"A minimum of 40,000 Indigenous Australians and
between 2,000 and 2,500 settlers died".

The Indigenous numbers are possibly even higher.

Worth a read

As I said Foxy, the largest number of aboriginal people were killed by native police.
It was tribal warfare supported by European weapons.

“The Native Police were a deadly arm of state, spreading north and west to conduct ambushes and reprisals alongside waves of land-stealing pastoralists over the last third of the 19th century.

Estimates of the numbers of Aboriginal men, women and children they killed ranged from 10,000 to 60,000, Mark Finnane, a Griffith university professor of history, said.”
