That kid has African hair and white skin.

He will either have his moment in the sun or a bad hair day at some stage.

Its a hair raising time for us all.

Yes- so therefore we must " de- colonise" and look at our " moral landscape".i.e  vandalise public art.

The next step is to burn the history books that we don't agree with.

There is an aimless air of cultural revolution about such ridiculous ideas.

It doesn't change the past or even the way the past is retold .

British Australia was built on Rum,Sodomy and the lash.It was extremely violent and life was extremely harsh.

The convicts didn't really want to be transported here either .

7 men were hanged as a result of the massacre you mentioned.

 

Oh god - unpunished massacres everywhere.  Conniston then - 1928. I visited it once with an old man whose mother had hidden him, as a toddler,  in a log - came out to find his family slaughtered. The constable, Murray, was regarded as a hero by the local whitefellers. 

 

Not saying burn books - I'm saying write them accurately.
