    Also it’s a bit rich for an Aussie to tell anyone to go back where they came from…

    It’s because those Aussies don’t see First Nations as actual real people with rights lol

        Absolutely. The only good things from when I went to Uni was doing the aboriginal languages, and first nations culture. I have a lot of sources I saved to whip out for deniers haha.

        There’s a harrowing recount of a massacre, written by a modern woman as a retort to another bloke who denies the genocides (they’re both academics), and I like to pull that one out for the shock value. I have it available but it’s nsfw

          I once saw an interview on ABC of an old farmer from Gippsland , this was over 30 years ago, where he talks about giving local first nation families sacks of poisoned flour. He talked of finding the dead families, children included. He had no sense of shame or guilt. So the interview is about 40 years old now and the guy was about 80 talking about when he was in his 20s and 30s, so this was maybe 100 years ago, that’s still 20th century.

          This is what it was like, individuals like this evil bastard committing murder.

          I don’t know if there was any organisation by or talk among farmers to commit systematic genocide.

              I have heard of two instances from the mouths of the perps. The Gippsland one and Northern Territory.

              It was farmers, always graziers.

              They would run families away from natural watering holes too, ( who would then of course die of thirst or hunger. ) There is a chapter on that in “We of the Never Never”.
