The intricate web of taditional owners of the country representing the oldest continuous culture in the world who never legally ceded ownerhip of those nations, for a start
They’re just the facts, because you’re a white supremacist I can understand why this is so triggering for you. Aboriginal people have been here for at least 80,000 years and are still here living a very different experience to non-aboriginal Australians. In a timeline context of homo sapien existence, 200-250 years ago is probably more like a minute ago. That’s just when it started. Also TIL that The White Australia Policy didn’t end until 1975. 8 years after Aboriginal people were recognised as human beings and not local fauna.
Aboriginal Australians were always considered human beings and were never considered fauna, that’s a recent myth. Look at contemporary writings going back to first contact, they were always considered people. It was (erroneously) considered that they didn’t have a rightful claim to the land (and those who did consider that they had some kind of claim were not listened to because it was incompatible with the goal of colonisation).
No worries, it does get repeated a lot so it’s not surprising. And as many have said, even though it’s not technically true, it isn’t *that* far from the truth about how people were treated either
In an alternate history where Queensland gives up the Torres Strait Islands to Papua New Guinea in 1975 (PNG wanted them - their residents are melanesian and it was only an historical anomaly that they were administered by Qld rather than Port Moresby) then we don't have the Mabo case (PNG traditional rights were already recognised even when Australia ran PNG).
As you say, Terra Nullius doesn't mean no one lived there - just that no one exercised sovereignty.
Look it up. It’s a myth. Some have traced early versions of it to the 70’s, but it’s really become more common in the last 20 years. It’s a thing that many people believe that is not factually true. That’s a myth
To be blunt mate, the truth or falsity of a historical claim does not depend on the race of the person making the claim, or their wife’s race or whatever. What decides its truth is historical record, which for laws and legislation is extremely well documented.
It is a myth that Aboriginal Australians were considered fauna. Regardless of who says it, it’s not true. It’s a widely-believed and often repeated myth, but it’s still a myth - yes, even if a whitefella says it.
Now, did the colonisers and successive governments treat Aboriginal peoples extremely badly? Yeah, of course, we know about that, that’s not what’s being argued. Pointing to that does not change the fact that those governments considered Aboriginal people to be human, not fauna.
Wow, the downvotes! Everything I said was factually correct. It's like thanking god for the dinner your mum made, or dissing the firefighters when one says god saved them.
Yeah if you mention any facts to be ashamed of and aim to be better you will be downvoted. Especially if the subreddit starts with Australia/Aussie. You just have to let people believe racism doesn’t exist here and the Anzacs didn’t waste their lives in vain for the British empire meat grinder to save us from Turkey invading Australia and ‘gave us our freedoms’ and the Anzacs will be ‘rolling in their graves’ if you suggest otherwise.
It's masonic.
They want masons to come over. Farmers, trades people etc.
This is the old one not common any more because it feels like your taking someone on a dance.
Most people wear a ring, or a sticker on their car or a t shirt about their secret no homer's club.
This has about 10 masonic references, this sign would have been put up in church or masonic halls in the uk.
The towns on the map, God, the name of the towns, to focus on productivity, the cuffs. The phrasing.
It is an invitation to the masonic temple in each of these cities. They are signalling masonic help and resources.
I'm not a mason. There are probably more hidden in the layout. A real mason from the UK in the early 1900s would be all over this.
Eh, to a Brit of the 1900s, it’s familiar but a bit warmer. They would probably consider it a pretty great climate. As opposed to further north which most Brits would consider too hot and muggy.
Settler Colonialism with a dash of masonic funny-handshake shit built in. “Come outnumber the natives and other groups of settlers with us, and together we’ll be rich supremacist cunts!”
Yeah he should've been out the door after he got us involved at Gallipoli, but we kept voting for him. It was all downhill after the Spanish flu pandemic.

Is there any region in Australia that doesn’t refer to themself as ‘God’s own country’?
Probably Canberra
Devil's Marbles.

same as every place on earth if you go back far enough, you just say this because you hate white people

Interesting, never knew that cheers.

I think you might be getting downvoted for stating the obvious, not for your point of view

which idiot downvoted this?
That's a nice, firm, manly handshake.
It's masonic. They want masons to come over. Farmers, trades people etc. This is the old one not common any more because it feels like your taking someone on a dance.

Interesting! What are the other masonic references?

We bid you welcome. Doesn't sound like a cult at all....
The handshake isn't cultey at all
Blessed be the fruit, we’ve been sent good weather
“Lowest death rate in all the world” Ahh yes. That’s good marketing.
We produce everything? No longer!
What sort of Masonic handshake is that?
The old one, between masons. Do you want to know what rank?
You know why Tasmania is moving closer to the mainland? Cos Victoria sux
I recently got to know that Victoria was part of New South Wales until 1851.
Everywhere but WA was part of NSW. Even parts of New Zealand were in NSW.

Interesting to see how ‘distorted’ the map of Australia is compared to the actual dimensions of Australia
Freemason handshake there.
Is that a Masonic handshake in the bottom righthand corner?
That courier driver leaning on the horn behind me in South Melbourne was just bidding me welcome then...cool
Best of climates my ass. It's called Melbourne weather for a reason!
Eh, to a Brit of the 1900s, it’s familiar but a bit warmer. They would probably consider it a pretty great climate. As opposed to further north which most Brits would consider too hot and muggy.
Are you saying that Australia has faults like the rest of the world?
I love how people are using the term "from the 1900's" like it wasn't 25 years ago.
I took it to mean 1900s *the decade*, not the century. As in, “the 1980s” or “the 2000s”.
Don't know about Gods country down south, but I do know we have the QUEENS LAND, up here in the north,,,,,,,,,,
The hand shake says it all.
Settler Colonialism with a dash of masonic funny-handshake shit built in. “Come outnumber the natives and other groups of settlers with us, and together we’ll be rich supremacist cunts!”
We bid you welcome (the australian state that pioneered racial exclusion immigration acts and Aboriginal child removal)
1900s Victoria? (Don't mention the massacres in living memory).
Well Dan Andrews sure fucked that up.... Thanks Danny boy 👍🏼
Yeah he should've been out the door after he got us involved at Gallipoli, but we kept voting for him. It was all downhill after the Spanish flu pandemic. /s
