An interesting statement took place a couple of days ago.
Tanua said children should make the declaration of loyalty.
The uproar that this caused is revealing.
We can now assume that the pile on mob are not loyal to Australia
and we can reasonably ask them to leave.
They do not want children to be loyal to Australia.

There was no massacre at Waterloo Creek. There was a police action where a group of aboriginals who'd already killed 5 farmers and attempted to kill police, were cornered and died resisting or attempting to escape arrest. Four or five aboriginals were killed in the melee.

The Bluff Rock Massacre near Tenterfield, NSW, is another good story, in many versions, none of which stand up to much serious scrutiny.

Modern day Aborigines (not the real ones from the Bush) have become something like the Leftists of humanity. Feigning indignation for the sake of causing disharmony even when they partly owe their own existence to non-indigenous forebears.

mhaze, you seem to be one of histories revisionist on this. Where is your account from?

Three months after the Waterloo Creek Massacre, stockmen in the same area slaughtered twenty-eight Aborigines at Henry Dangar's Myall Creek station. Governor Gipps has the perpetrators rounded up and in December 1838 seven of them were hanged, the first time in the colony's history whites have paid the supreme penalty for killing blacks. One the public record.

Paul,

You're referring to the Myall Creek Massacre. There's no doubt it occurred. But that's doesn't prove anything about the alleged Waterloo Creek incident.

Just because one massacre is proven doesn't mean that all the other allegations are proven. Sorry if the logic of that eludes you.

"Where is your account from?"

You first.
