    Post Was There Slavery in Australia? Yes. It Shouldn’t Even Be up for Debate

    Was There Slavery in Australia? Yes. It Shouldn’t Even Be up for Debate -- Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s statement that “there was no slavery in Australia” is at odds with the historical record.
    Prime Minister Scott Morrison asserted in a radio interview that “there was no slavery in Australia.” This is a common misunderstanding which often obscures Australia's history of exploitation of First Nations people and Pacific Islanders. Morrison followed up with “I’ve always said we’ve got to be honest about our history”. Unfortunately, his statement is at odds with the historical record. This history was widely and publicly documented, among other sources, in the 2006 Australian Senate report Unfinished Business: Indigenous Stolen Wages.

    In fact, some contend it is still ongoing in Australia:

    "Slave-like"... "Very often treated like slaves"..... Hmmm.

    I guess by modern standards you could say that 'blackbirding' was a form of slavery but ffs. Here is an idea for the absolute %$%$ing morons like the lady in clip above - open the front %$%$ing door and walk away.
