I'm not sure I understand why you played the True Blue song?? Firstly, the Eureka rebellion was a conflict between gold diggers from overseas ( very few were even Australian born) Our government knew these greedy gold diggers would take it back home with them (overseas), which should have remained on Australian soil & spent on Australian community & welfare, instead of overseas. So, that's why the government charged tax!

Australians really need to pull their heads in , Australian Government are allowing to much foreign investment in "our country" we have to protect "our" Australia "our children" , don't be brainwashed by our government- unite as people because if you don't your grandchildren will be stripped of everything. Australia is being leveraged , Australian federal bank is really the bank of new york, Britian , Amsterdam-Wake up!
Whats with all the hate messages? That's not what the Eureka Stockade stood for. The swore ' by the Southern Cross to stand truly by each other to defend the rights and liberties of Australian people.' All people. Aboriginal, White, the lot. Alot that fought were Chinese. Get rid of the hatred, live the way the fought and we may just get some where in life.
God save Australia, and the Australian people, long live the Australian rebels, past, present and future who stand against the tyranny and oppression of a foreign, inbred, nazi queen with her bully boy wannabe-dictators in Parliament
Rule Britannia ,Britannia has fucked the world! The British empire was nothing to be proud of look at what they did in Ireland,scotland africa and most other countries.
What, do you all expect us all to fuck off to England? If the Aboriginals had tried to work with us, and not purely against us, and if the government had embraced our views, it would of worked better.
But hey, least we werent like the Americans and Spanish, who killed EVERYONE
The only reason why you here about the "oppression" of the aboriginals, is because there are enough left alive to complain
How so? The goal of the rebellion was to establish reforms on the ballarat diggings, aswell as those of other colonies. These reforms were established and one of the leaders of the patriots, Peter Lalor, became a well respected politician. So tell me, how did they fail?
Its great that people like you keeping our culture and history alive, so much is not properly studied like The battle of Vinegar Hill which took place in NSW in 1804 only get a short mention in most Aussie history books.Keep it up mate.
Sad to see that these days, ( atleast at my kids school ) this part of history ISNT told.
When I asked the teacher why, - I was told that its was like the Ned Kelly "theme" - in that it was a "dark and best left forgotten " part of our nations history.
I spat the dummy and replied that I recon the REAL reason nobody teaches the story of the stockade, is because it teaches the young that if they stand united, they CAN win against a governemnt if they had to.- one for the PATRIOTS! well done!
They wernt standing up for there rights, they were crimmals because they didnt pay there taxes, plus thye were a bunch of anti british irish catholics.
I'm Irish catholic does that make me a criminal? They were protesting the expense of mining licences' and the tax incurred on mining equipment. And they were butchered by the Red coats for making a stand, typical Britsh way of resolving things.
I didnt say that all irish catholics were criminals, the miners licences were too expensive, but following the law is more important, they rebeled violently, and shot at the brirish, so the british fired back, the miners fled, and were punished accordingly. fair.
The miners most certainly did not fire first. Have you any idea how many miners were shot or beaten by the redcoats? or how many were shot in retaliation to the burning down of the eureka hotel?
because the miners were disgrunteld and annoyed by one of there frieds being tried, and in a fit of anger and rage (fuled by alcohol) burned the hotel to the ground.
Wrong on all counts im afraid. The Eureka hotel was burned down because of british injustice. A man, the owner of the afforementioned hotel, murdered a man named james scoby, who happened to be a miner. The man who murdered scoby, named Bentley, was pardoned by the governer of ballarat for simply being british. Does that sound Just to you?
No, your compleatly worng and biased, what you say is true to some extent, but in law, some mistakes are made, sorry if i got some of the awnsers wrong, up british oppresion? if you want oppresion, you should go to china or zimbabwae. stop sprading lies.
To look at these things form a 21st century perspective is a hard thing, back in the 19th century, we did not have what we would call democracy, but the goldfields were though, hard places, and the authorities of the time saw it necesary to carry out the law in a aggresive manner. I wouldnt call it opression. Can i ask you, are you a communist or a socolist.
Well of course you wouldnt call it opression, you see only the british side of things, so ignorance is your companion. I expected such a pathetic question, i am neither.
