Joe,

Here we go again. We've been down this path so many
times before and as I've told you - there's no point
in continuing this conversation with someone who
refuses to see the evidence or read material that
contradicts his views. Books have been recommended to
you, you refuse to read them - and yet you make
judgements on the authors. Universities have done
the research that is readily available - even the
archives of our National War Memorial acknowledge
and I quote:

"The 'Frontier Wars' were a series of actions that were
carried out by British colonial forces stationed in
Australia, by the police, and by local settlers. It is
important to note that the state police forces used
Indigenous Australians to hunt down and kill other
Indigenous Australians..."

John Connor an academic from the Australian Defence Force
Academy has added his research to aid our understanding
of the early settlement of Australia. His book has been
described as well researched and a very readable study
of Australian colonial warfare. "Australian Frontier
Wars," it's only one of many worth reading. It just
may broaden your horizon.

Foxy,

Can you understand that a list is not evidence on its own ? In this case, surely a forensic examination of likely sites is necessary for any assertion to be conclusive ? Why do you avoid such a need ? Why just accept whatever someone asserts just because it' in the direction of what you want to believe ? Evidence is what counts, not virtuous feelings.

Over the years, since, say, 1960, I've read most of the books you ask me to read. Some I don't bother with if they are full of baseless assertions. And I hope I will 'make judgements' on anybody who makes assertions without evidence. Any half-wit can do that.

You have an amazing reverence for whatever Google throws up :)

Joe

Joe,

I read a lot and research a great deal.
Google is only one search engine.
I use many sources. And actually do read things
before making judgements.

Don't insult the police force by calling him a police officer. He is a liaison officer.
The specialist 'liaison role' performed by a Police Liaison Officer does not require powers of a police officer. However, they may be called upon to assist police officers with law enforcement tasks in certain circumstances.

Joe,

You have an amazing reverance and total commitment
to seeing Indigenous history from the White
Man's perspective only.

Foxy,

That's your assertion: prove it.

As for your earlier post, suggesting that you read a lot, that's a bit by-the-way - have you read any reports of thorough investigations of massacre sites ? Otherwise, it's just your third-hand reading of somebody else's second-hand reporting of an assertion.

Reading a real, real lot is not proof of knowledge in this area: it's loaded with assertions - for example, the 'stolen generation' (how many ? One), Indigenous deaths in custody (a lower rate than for non-indigenous prisoners), and so on - plenty of assertions, which collapse when they are actually analysed rather than believed without question, by really nice, virtuous people such as yourself.
