Not so ?

And now its all about the 'Australian Wars'.

A story/narrative for TV which won't be presented to us, in anything but the unvarnished truth, about the noble Aboriginal resistance to the White invaders.

And no racial vilification will be presented ?

Just a truthful history story, to bring the Australian nation together ? .....just like President Biden promised [in 2020], in the U.S.

In Conversation with Rachel Perkins, the creator of the Australian Wars. Interesting but I couldn't help noticing the persistent linguistic and conceptual slants.

https://www.abc.net.au/radio/programs/conversations/conversations-rachel-perkins...

I do not think there is anything factually or historically new in this or other contemporary re-telling of how Australia was colonised. My sense of the coming 'truth telling' is that it us going to be the cementing of this persistent linguistic and conceptual slant.

A re-telling of history by the victors losers - that is perhaps too pithy but it points to what might be happening. I have a lot of respect and appreciation for Aborigines and others who make an effort to improve their own lives and the lives of those around him and who take full, contributing part in the life of modern Australia.

I have virtually no sympathy for the drunken, drug-addled, violent, neglectful self-degradation and abandonment of any responsibility for much of what is self-inflicted and the wallowing in self-pity - by anyone, Aboriginal or not.

special appearance by Danny de Vito as a 6'5" Zulu warrior bodyguard

So, you can't tell the difference between a play, based on a myth, written to dramatise aspects of the human condition, and a historical biopic.

It seems the consensus is that this series is a sort of 'truth-telling' re-enactment... not a documentary.

Here's the blurb for the first ep:-

"Episode 1
57m
The story of Australia's first wars, calling for the nation to acknowledge the First Peoples who died in these conflicts and for the Australian War Memorial to recognise them."

https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/tv-series/the-australian-wars/season-1

No mention of the murdered White women and children and White men.... just another one way street.... racism writ large, so stuff 'em! You don't recognise murderers in the War Memorial - the Black Anzacs are already there.

If you can't see that - get your hand off it.

I can just imagine Lefty's 'polite' conversation that causes him to be banned. We see here every day his version of 'facts', 'debate', 'morality' and courtesy.

I'd like to know how anyone blocked from multiple discussions could even begin to imagine it's always the 'other side's' fault and not his, and how he can equate interaction with one site with everyone else he encounters who doesn't agree with him.

The boy is clearly insane or fourteen years old.

Never going to learn, though.

So...poverty is self-inflicted....

At least Labor has agreed with Noel Pearson to maintain the CDC in Cape York, to reduce harm.

What "consensus"? The few reasonable people i've seen commenting on this thread all said it was an interesting documentary.

Then there's you repeating yourself for pages about "re-enactments" .. because that'sw as far as you got into the first episode.

The fact is this is a well researched documentary with interviews from major historians and wonderfully interspersed with stories of true healing and unity.

As one of prestigious academics interview end in this "re-enactment" said, you don;t need to dig too deep at all to come up with tis written history.

And it's about time it was told.
