Apart from the abolition of slavery, the common law, Westminster democracy, the steam engine, Protestantism, mechanized agriculture, the English language, the exposure of foreign cultures, the public health system, the welfare state, and the constitutional monarchy....

.. apart from the roads, and law and order, and sheep on the table, and sewerage, and tin roofs that aren't humpies made of bark, and international trade, and money, and liquor and beer and wine, and fancy cars, and land rights... what.. WHAT.. I ask you.. WHAT have the British ever done for us?

Women can vote!

But we beat them to that, Reg.... what else?

I know - the idea that women could vote.... they gave us that, all right!

Well they did take this fine country away from the boongs and had a good go at wiping them out, I'd call that a great accomplishment.

A Cuban man told me that in Cuba there is a statue of the last aboriginal to survive. The Spanish were quite thorough compared to the British.

They brought peace.... most of their law they turned against the Whiteys to keep them in line... look at what they done to Ned Kelly...  you didn't see that done to them Kaffirs out there who weren't even considered citizens, do you?

Face it - the Blacks were irrelevant and the British at least brought some peace to their little warring bands fighting over kangaroo rights at the billabong like savages ...... pounding on their womenfolk in more ways than one .... everywhere the White Man went the Blacks were enlightened.. sometimes physically by mixing genetic material...... you know... coupla years out there in the donga and every Gin looks white as snow.... same colour inside and Whitey didn't beat 'em up as much.

Not a girl over fifteen in Moree has her front teeth... they're whupped out of 'em .... and an Aboriginal I respected told me that..... died of a heart attack at 42.. poor buggar...

Old negative nancy.

You do realise that life was extremely different back then don't you?

All of these things you mention, as well as all the good....such as men and women fighting for your freedom, our once brilliant manufacturing, our hard work to turn this country into a place that is pretty well the best country to live in and it all came together from what happened yesterday.
If you went back to that time with your mindset now.....you'd be hung, high!

Get your pity belt off and throw on the pride belt. If your not proud of your country then get on the next transport provider out of this place  and leave it to the people who love it.

They put the Blacks in their place?


Correct.

Immigrated them into the UK so that London is now no longer a majority white capital city but increasingly a black ghetto.

They were willing to sacrifice our entire country during WWII.

Although happy to take all the sailors, soldiers and airmen that Australia was prepared to place at their disposal for the defence of Britain, they had no concern about Australia's fate when Japan's conquering armies menaced Australia. Their assurances of British military support for Australia against the Japanese were lies. They had already betrayed Australia to the Japanese at the Arcadia Conference held in Washington in late December 1941. They even resisted the return of Australian troops from the Middle East to defend their own country; they wanted to use them in Burma to defend India against the advancing Japanese.

This is why Raven holds John Curtin in high regard. He brought our troops home. Raven likes to think he understood that Britain has always viewed us as nothing more then a colony.

Unfortunately, unlike the Americans, we cling to our british heritage like an abused dog left starving at it's master's gate.

Could've kept most parts of the empire. But willingness for more war was probably lacking too much.

A lost chance maybe. Self-adoration by even the most insignificant dumb buggers will abound given the chance.

My father always said to me " Never give a sucker an even break". That sorta goes against Australia's so-called "Fair go" attitude.

I'm apt to never give a sucker an even break.

Three  Mile Island, Chernobyl or Fukushima ring any bells? Bikini Atoll? These people poisoned themselves. We've had a reactor at Lucas heights since 1958.

If we're going to delve into ancient history, the Brits gave us Lachlan Macquarie, for which we should be forever grateful.

Everyone makes mistakes in hindsight and it is far easier to criticise from a future perspective. In your opinion, would it have been safer to test nuclear weapons, given the political climate at the time, in say, Kent?

One wonders if you ever saw Pick-a-Box on the TV.

How about you answer your own question and also address why you seem to be implying....ie....that it was far better for the Poms (as is obvious) that they destroy a part of Australia and kill off some Abos and Diggers, than test their own schit in their own Country.   Our interests did not count over theirs.  Is that it?

Apart from the abolition of slavery, the common law, Westminster democracy, the steam engine, Protestantism, mechanized agriculture, the English language, the exposure of foreign cultures, the public health system, the welfare state, and the constitutional monarchy....

What have the British ever done for us?


Colonialism, slavery, stealing the wealth of third world countries, Genocide, perverting historical records to hide their crimes.


They brought peace.... most of their law they turned against the Whiteys to keep them in line... look at what they done to Ned Kelly...  you didn't see that done to them Kaffirs out there who weren't even considered citizens, do you?

Face it -the Blacks were irrelevant and the British at least brought some peace to their little warring bands fighting over kangaroo rights at the billabong like savages ...... pounding on their womenfolk in more way than one .... everywhere the White Man went the Blacks were enlightened.. sometimes physically by mixing genetic material...... you know... coupla years out there in the donga and every Gin looks white as snow.... same colour inside and Whitey didn't beat 'em up as much.

Not a girl over fifteen in Moree has her front teeth... they're whupped out of 'em .... and an Aboriginal I respected told me that..... died of a heart attack at 42.. poor buggar...


There aint nothing more peaceful than a dead man.



That is the message that ISLAM promotes too.

How come you know so much about ISLAMIC ways   Unforgettable ?          :P


"ISLAM ES PAZ"

Everyone knows that true ISLAM, is a religion of peace.

You'll never get sense or reason from a TROLL Lionel.

I note no-one has refuted my list...  just as well...  but they seem to obsess over the Nuclear Test which the australian Government was part of and allowed.  Mind you the US tested theirs in their backyard in similar areas...  the Brits didn't have such a choice.

If you have influenza at some time of the year, befriend an aboriginal person from a remote community who has come in to town for some supplies. They will head back to their township, unaware that they have contracted influenza. The police, fire, and ambulance crews will wonder why it has gone quiet in a usually boisterous place.
