Of course they were recognised as human being, you hyperbolic, unmoored looney.
To recognise just how far back they have been and many still are is not wacism. Why is there special treatment of them if they are not a different ckkass of people?

Then, Soren, why weren't they counted in the national census? Why were they denied citizenship until 1967? Why were they denied the rights that every citizen enjoyed? Why did they have their wages stolen? Why did they have their children stolen? Why did they have their land stolen? Why were some treated as virtual slaves by the colonists? Hardly the way a civilised nation acts towards people who are considered "human beings" legally and morally. Tsk, tsk. Just more examples of that superior culture, I suppose, innit? Roll Eyes

They didn't. Roll Eyes

Not according to the Human Rights Commission. Tsk, tsk, tripped up again by reality. Oh, dearie, dearie, me. Such a racist. Roll Eyes

Someone said we could not judge a person's Aboriginality on their skin colour. Why isn't that applied in the matter of Pascoe? Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

They were seen as human beings by Cook and Phillip....

Pity their successors didn't believe it so, Geoff. Tsk, tsk, fancy counting people as "fauna". Oh, dearie, dearie, me. Yeah, they really believed they were human beings, just like the PHONies believe that Muslims and Asians are human beings, right, Geoff? Roll Eyes

Did you think they were fauna too bwian?
No....
Neither did I.
I guess that makes your point moot and somewhat disingenuous.
How many Australians bwian do you think actually thought Aborigines were fauna? Roll Eyes

Need I yet again point to the Referendum result?
How many times must you be told something bwian? Roll Eyes

kindly quote where PHON states that muslims are not human beings?
what?
what was that?
Oh you lied. Cheesy

By 1967, very few Australians thought they were fauna.

really?

How many bwian? surely not anyone who had any sort of education in fact most would have been surprised by that categorisation and bwian, that categorisation is apparently a myth... do you believe in myths? do you like spreading lies?

A hundred years earlier? Well, they had very little say in how they were governed there, Geoff.

Really? many of us have very little say in how we are governed now dopey. Your point would be what? oh... moot.

You and your band of village idiots seem to want to harker after those days, with your talk about how evil Muslims, Asians, immigrants are.

My band of what are you still being a lying Troll even though you've been shown to be an obsessive fool how many times now. Just when have I ever used evil to describe anyone bwian I don't even use it to describe you and you persistent lying.

How terrible it is that we have allowed them to become Australians.

How many of them see themselves as Australian bwian? How many of them have assimilated to the Australian way of life and culture bwian?

PHONies are such silly people, really.

But not as silly as YOU bwian. Even those still clinging on to PHON today are not as silly as YOU. They care about their society and country.

So much for your "final solution", hey, Veritas? Tsk, tsk.

tsk, tsk, tsk.... you are a low life troll aren't you perhaps banning is well deserved for you after all.... lying about 2 words is as pathetic as YOU can get enjoy living in the gutter... TRUTH hurts eh?

Shouting and ranting again, Geoff? Tsk, tsk, and you still haven't got the hang of the quote function, have you? Oh, dearie, dearie, me. Get back to us when you've calmed down a bit and worked out how to quote people properly. Roll Eyes

If Australia was colonised before North America.
Where the Eastern Europeans created an Artistic nation.
It would be the reverse/other way around and the 'Yellows' would be enslaved, considered animals, brought to Australia and not culturally respected. The word 'black' wouldn't be used - instead, it would be Africians (Af-ri-shans) and Bantu.

No....its a word game everyone.
Fauna was never written to include humans. Fauna is "animals of a particular region". So while we are animals we can never fall under the term fauna due to its original written purpose.
In fact....humans back in the day could pretend all they like to associate abos with fauna.....much like men want to pretend to be women these days.....but it will never be a true reality. So while some urban myth of abos being fauna may have been present....in reality that's all it was.

Interesting as to who was calling the abos fauna back then...gov officials I'd believe....local slums....not likely.
