The first time I visited Australia I was shocked to hear my friends friend mention the Abo’s in what I felt was a very dismissive way.
History is complex but the common theme amongst it all is the decimation of native peoples with diseases. STD were rife and combined with the the introduction of alcohol and refined sugar and flour, misguided religious endeavours etc we have displaced people. Once you disrupt or destroy what was culturally and spiritually significant the decline is assured. Thanks for sharing 🙏💚😇
That was an enjoyable read John. These days it’s very rare to read something where you can see that the author is making a concerted effort to be factual and not present a biased narrative. I wish there was more writing like this around, particularly as we all grapple with the question of constitutional change.
You explained the past very well John. I wish the majority had your knowledge & understanding. I worry for the future of our country with misguided views.
