Re: Autralian revenge
HI All.
Haven't had much to do with Aboriginals all the time Iv'ed lived here, worked with two of them in the building good Carpenters and no problems, also on the Sydney Water Board, same thing. Years ago in Western Aus whenever there was an election white men used to go to the camps and load them up with cheap plonk to stop them voting. Now here is something new that is happening down here every time you go to the Dr they ask you at reception if you are Aboriginal that's every time you go, so now I just say pure Welsh.
As for the Containers for prisoners all I can say is look out Britain were sending some back, when is the next Mearsk boat in?
Cheers Des

#10.. You are 100 percent correct Louis. Just the same as the UK"s way of life had its beginnings on various Others, the scandanavians, the Romans, and nearly the Huns. Cheers John Sabourn.

It is a valid point Lou and as with all nations that at some time have been conquored or invaded the invader has had little respect for the vanquished. We gave them grog amongst other things, took their natural way of life away from them then wonder why they are the way they are.
White man came here a little over 200 years ago and found what was realy a stone age man. No contact with any other country so of course they were a bit p15ssed off about it.


Happy daze John in Oz.
