The Pinjarra massacre, also known as the Battle of Pinjarra, occurred on 28 October 1834 in Pinjarra, Western Australia when a group of Binjareb Noongar people were attacked by a detachment of 25 soldiers, police, and settlers led by Governor James Stirling.[1][6]: 25 According to Stirling, "about 60 or 70" of the Binjareb people were present at the camp and John Roe, who also participated, estimated about 70–80. This roughly agrees with an estimate of 70 by an unidentified eyewitness.[1]: 8 [5] The attack at Pinjarra was in response to sustained aggression by the Binjarebs, including robberies and murder of settlers and members of other Nyungar tribes.[5]

Another punitive mission re-branded as a 'massacre' ... so now the El Cidney fuzz should track down murderous serial killer Lebo gangs and such and just give them an infringement notice.... sort of an Appin Punitive Expedition thing.... you know..

"Now we want you boys to come in quietly and take your fine for killing those ten women and children..."

"Buggar you, White Bastard!"

"Bring up the gas, boys...."

Another whinging white blackfella wanting to re-write history......

a history that his very white ancestry had a part in.

He like you, probably wears the title Doctor because he's been granted a honorary doctorate.

Quote:

"If they're going to put a statue up down there then an Aboriginal statue has to go alongside it, just like the Aboriginal flag alongside the Australian flag," Dr Isaacs said.

What a childish piece of nonsense statement.

Blah blah blah mehhhhrrr if they get one, we want one. My great grandfather did this or that so he deserves a statue.

No wonder the voice failed when you have whining, whinging, divisive shyte like this coming from supposed Aboriginal elders.
