    Lidia Thorpe is not wrong when Briitish colonialism fucked the world. The British should be held accountable for that. However, this arguement can be made to absolve the Australian government of their fuckery with indigenous people.

    Sure, Australia didn’t become federate until the early 1900s. However, I would imagine sometime prior to that Australia was acting more or less as an independent country.

      Utter bollocks. French colonial rule destroyed countries, British colonial rule has left the majority of their empire in far, far better states than when they found them.

      Australia is one of the richest countries on the globe, that’s because not despite of British colonial rule.
