Bold words from a nation descended from convicts.
Had no idea being a criminal was genetic
Tell that to the isis kids stuck in Syria.
A small problem is that they have grown up in the camps and many of them are radicalised by those in the camps, the same way a jail can be a bad thing for a young offender because it will put them in connections with worse offenders
its not the criminal descendants who are the problem, its all the jailers
And there's the whole political prisoner thing, and the casual implication that the actual criminals are subhumans with less rights and abilities.
It does seem to be for the wealthy.
Don't come around here coming around here.
What exactly is your point here? I'm trying to figure out the metaphor you're trying to make.
A nation of convicts on invaded land can't tell Pauline Hanson to stfu with her bullshit?
This nation is a federation of states used for convict transport and one colonized by free settlers. And although it is a blind spot for the Poms, then and now, there were lots of people here before they arrived.
The convict states are mostly proud of their heritage. Highly recommend a visit to Port Arthur. A lot of the convicts were victims of prejudice and poverty. The people who come off worst in Australia's history by far are the English who sent their poor and the Irish here to use as forced labour, committed genocide on the native people, nuked service people and traditional owners, and sent our young to die in futile battles.
Everything this country has done and continues to do to redress the shit legacy of the british empire, including their insane white supremacist, born to rule bullshit, reflects well on us.
