“Then we can decide what to do, if we have just propaganda or just completely one side gloss over version of history, then we are in the dark, then we are making stupid decisions or not knowing ourselves,” he said.
Mr Langford said he is a long-time activist but had only recently become engaged with Indigenous issues after “the penny had dropped” about the “truth of the colonial project”.He said it was important that people know the truth about Governor Macquarie’s words and actions. “He was involved in the colonial project, which involves the theft of land and killing people. He was killing the Indigenous people, he was within a criminal colonial project, so what you do then is criminal,” he said.Mr Langford said that it was important to have an honest discussion about our history as a nation.
“There should be a real discussion, not baloney about what did happen and what to do now, fortifying things is not the answer, there should be a real discussion with Aboriginal people involved and leading it,” he said.
Pity he didn't post the reason why Macquarie had said this. It was after the Aboriginals had raided a camp and killed several settlers, and stolen provisions. Nobody really likes the truth though so it probably isn't important.
There's only one way on how to deal with the vandalism and or the destruction of statues.. For every monument that's defaced we'll erect a life size monument of Donald Trump..
That's not a Macquarie quote
Spending time in prison based on an incorrect quote! So smart! We should listen to this man.
Macquarie's policy toward Aboriginal Australians consisted of co-operation and assimilation, backed by military coercion. He pioneered the concept of returning land to Aboriginal control, and founded the Native Institution in Parramatta for the education of Aboriginal children.
joshystuart ridiculous. He stuck a piece of paper to it. A piece of paper with an actual quote from the man. But of course we’ll just ignore that side
Is there a fund for this man's legal fees?
You'd think he could have taken the trouble to get the quote right. For those who are interested (the real thing is bad enough):
How can telling the truth be against the Law ?
These dummies cannot comprehend the history, good he's locked up
Don't you mean person? No such thing as gender according to Looney protesters.
