by Mark Tedeschi QC,,

as anyone read it..

I have almost no knowledge of this one of the most shocking murder trials in Australia history..

I am thinking of starting it after Xmas.. is that a good idea does anyone know?..

just think its needs my whole attention...

I almost only read true modern era  crime  this is of course historical...

Only one of many massacres Cods. There was killing from both sides, however these walkabout Aboriginals literally walked into a hot spot where stockmen were killing anything that moved. They should have walked straight out again but got conned into being "protected" by a station owner

it seems to have beena changing point in  Australian History  I b elieve the stockmen were found guilty

I do hope its historically correct    as I am not good at history all the little details you know....
I am one of these people  that tries to put themselves in the shoes of the people at that time..you know no one knew anything about anything in those times...and I thin k it was a grab all world all round...if you didnt take you would miss out....it hard to believe really how far this country has come... and what they did with almost nothing  was really amazing....this part of the history of the building of OZ kind of gets overlooked dont you think??.....we should of course never forget these tragic times  but then  we shouldnt judge this country by them either.

All you need to remember is that those type of perpetrators were the forebears of Labor and the Coalition - nothing has changed
