I must confess I'm really out of the loop as far as standard media goes. Is this a big mainstream story? Reddit has been melting down for weeks over it now and I imagine half of the media pulls their stories from there these days.

Kommando posted:which is why this happened In his day Morisson would have been terrifying on the parade ground. loving terrifying. Anyway this is a good example of what happens with institutional rot: http://www.news.com.au/national/ten-face-action-over-sea-king/news-story/b4af91be64465fe4558a50fb77ad1843 I realise the article is highly nonspecific in details but tracking down a copy of the actual official report is non trivial so I leave that up to anyone interested. It's a very informative read though because of how it outlines all the ways an institution with good policies & procedures can fail because of unofficially accepted bad practice. The fact it took a number of actual loving deaths to get anyone to address it is the problem. That's what it takes for people to officially acknowledge serious problems in order to address them - multiple deaths.

Yeah my last impulse buy was a pair of $180 headphones off amazon (DT990s, they're good) and either she's got so much silver up her arse that 800k is literally lunch money or she's a bare faced liar. I'm thinking it's mostly the latter because if $800k was lunch money you'd send an agent to make such a purchase,

People need to start realising that the waiter rule works for immigrants, homosexuals, and every other minority or disadvantaged group too. The way people treat those they can get away with treating badly reflects who they are. People like Pauline will gently caress you every chance they get because they're just lovely people. It should not be a surprise to anyone.

Unfortunately this is all too common in any organization when they think they're on the way up. They'll probably get taxpayer money to just start a new site and wipe that one. Burning people like that won't help when they get into trouble, though.

Speaking about racist bigots in a park, here's the first ultranationalist rally being held in the Brisbane area since 2015. Allthough the event page makes no mention of it, the rally is just near an Islamic centre/mosque. Restore Australia is Mike Holt's crew, notable for jointly organising the last ultranationalist shindig with Reclaim Australia on the 22/11/15 in Brisbane CBD (Emma Miller Place to be exact). They've been pretty quiet after that, especially since they failed to attract the crowds of last time and also were drowned out pretty well (protesting matters). The location is definitely strategic, as being closer to Brisbane would probably provoke a stronger counter-protest (and there are definitely enough mosques around). Idk about the turn out, however, seeing as it's been ages since they last held a public rally coupled with the relative remoteness of the locale (it's not really a prominant location, other than the mosque). Both sides (if there is a counter-protest) will probably have reduced numbers so I don't know whether this rally will have much of an impact (lol made me post tho)

Could anyone recommend some good history books on the colonization of Australia or the history of Indigenous Australians? I'm reading books about the horrible histories of other colonized countries and figured I should probably read about my own, which I only know about in broad strokes. I'd preferably want it to be available as an ebook on Kindle but recommend anything as long as it's not Andrew Boltish.

Fatal Shore by Robert Hughes is pretty good for the history of convict transportation. Dancing with Strangers by Inga Clendinnen focuses more on the indigenous tribes, I haven't read it all yet but it seems pretty good.

These might not be what you're looking for, but a few books on the subject that I've read and enjoyed are: History of Australian Land Settlement, 1788-1920 , A Million Wild Acres , Botany Bay Mirages, The limits of hope, Settlers and the Agrarian Question: Capitalism in Colonial Australia. None of these really focus on Indigenous Australia from an Indigenous perspective, so hopefully someone can recommend something that does. open24hours fucked around with this message at 06:49 on Jan 6, 2017 |
