Why do you think it is a prison?
Where's your evidence?

OMG

LOL...I cant believe you dont know the history of Australia.

 

[bambu.]

Australia was founded as a Penal Colony, so its really nothing new for them at all.

America was Britain's penal colony before Australia was.
Britain only stopped sending its convicts to America because of the War of Independence.
Started sending convicts to Australia in 1788.

Aborigines Lives Matter

They certainly do.
Unfortunately, guns beat spears and the land they called home was colonised. It is said that 50% of the Aborigines alive in 1788 when the First Fleet arrived from Britain died of 'white man's diseases'.
Today there are many govt and Indigenous community programs etc in "the prison from space" lol to improve the lives of Aboriginal people.

Blame it on the Brits.
They're the ones who sent hardcore criminals to Australia.

 

[Concerned American]

Yeah, thats sad.

Going on strike to hurt the government is only starving the people.
Not only do you have the scamdemic going on, you have 10 times the need for medical supplies and medical people because of people fighting the government, and now having to turn around and fight for food (and probably water as well).

This is all going to turn into murderous riots, killings, and other violent situations.
Those poor people. I know whats coming next, and I don't like it at all.

And you can blame it all on Fauci, WHO, China, DNC and the UN globalists.

So it was a male dominated colony?

It was...but the domination was lessened somewhat by the arrival of prison ship Lady Juliana.

Lady Juliana (1777 ship) - Wikipedia

The British government chartered Lady Juliana to transport female convicts.
She carried 226 female convicts, ...........
No provision had been made to set the convicts to any productive work during the voyage, and they were reported to be noisy and unruly, with a fondness for liquor and for fighting amongst themselves.[8]

That 9 pm nationwide curfew surely makes those indigenous lives better, eh?

Well, there was nothing to correct, it was as how I intended it, but at least you made the connection to the Botany Bay (I assume).

If you were a REAL Trekhead though, you'd be able to tell me where that milk truck delivering milk in City On The Edge of Forever got its name (of course, I won't tell you the name it had as I'm sure you already know it!)

It was a milk WAGON -- horse drawn.

And Bernie Widin says, "Hi!"

Of course, "brides" is a euphemism

 

[bambu.]

Ah yes, but there were indeed real brides...

Parramatta Female Factory - Wikipedia

The Parramatta Female Factory was multi-purpose. It was a place of assignment, a hospital, a marriage bureau, a factory, an asylum and a prison for those who committed a crime in the Colony. The reason it is called a factory is because it manufactured cloth - linen, wool and linsey woolsey. It was also the site of the colony's first manufactured export producing 60,000 yards (55,000 m) of woven cloth in 1822. The women also did spinning, knitting, straw plaiting, washing, cleaning duties and if in third class, rock breaking and oakum picking.[5]

In 1827, the factory was the site of Australia's first industrial action when women rioted as a response to a cut in rations and poor conditions. By 1842 the factory accommodated 1,203 women as well as children. With the end of convict transportation to the colony, in 1848 the site was reassigned as a Convict Lunatic and Invalid Asylum.

Marriage

Women in the Parramatta Female Factory were given the opportunity for marriage. They had to have been in the First Class for 12 months and well behaved.

An emancipated convict or free man could apply for a wife. Both the man and the prospective ‘bride’ had to agree. If they did then it proceeded subject to the usual parameters (such as unmarried in the Colony for seven years, spouse not in the Colony had died).

The process occurred over about a three day period (non consecutive).

9pm nationwide curfew?

"Indigenous lives" is a complicated matter, not "one size fits all".
There are very remote Indigenous communities, remote ones, rural ones, semi-rural ones, and city ones.

In Australia there are more than 250 Indigenous languages including 800 dialects. Each language is specific to a particular place and people. In some areas like Arnhem Land, many different languages are spoken over a small area.

Many people have, and are still trying, to make a difference. It's no easy task.

Toomelah lesson

June 21 2008

It's 1987, and welcome to Toomelah, a small Aboriginal community on a former mission station on the NSW-Queensland border, and the subject of Australia's first intervention.

Twenty-one years ago, Toomelah had one water tap for 500 people, and it flowed twice a day for just 15 minutes. Some houses had 30 people sleeping in them, and Goondiwindi High School, just across the border, had a blackboard for the whites and a blackboard for the blacks. And when the children came home, they played in the raw sewage of Toomelah's fetid, fouled streets.

Then Marcus Einfeld, president of the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission, pulled into town to investigate conditions after a race riot in "Goondi". Suddenly, like manna from Sydney, houses were built, the dirt road sealed, a sewerage system materialised and a new bore, pumping station and tanks dried up the line at the water tap. But a drink of water could not banish the devil.

Then Einfeld turned the spotlight on neglect by walking with his trousers rolled up through the muddy, soiled streets of Toomelah and crying tears of shame and pity.
Tall, patrician, with Cecil B. De Mille-epic looks ready-made for the night's television news, Einfeld put Toomelah's plight on the front page.
Back then, he was a famed human rights activist who, in 1963, his eyes welling with tears, had stood among 200,000 people at the Washington Monument listening to Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" address.
