Captain Cook was a baddie?
Cook had Maoris executed and pillaged their land, and so did Victoria.
A legacy of blood, invasion, and tyranny.
Yes he gave the natives indigestion
Yeah lets destroy historical monuments so we forget our history AND REPEAT IT!
Stupid just plain stupid!
Presumably the perpetrators will be fed to the crocs/sharks, given how much they don't want the due process of law that was implanted after "Invasion Day"?
Dont see a problem
But you don't arrest the anti British commies running your streets so…
Give back every last square inch to The First Nation
It was the ankle grinder that did it!
Didn't Queen Victoria reign in the horrific Opium Wars, Zulu wars and Boer wars, Indian mutiny and famines and Irish famine? Didn't her Navy block famine relief ships entering Ireland that were sent by the Ottoman Government? Didn't her government quietly aid the Confederate States of America by suppling arms and even surface raiders like the CSA Shenandoah to fight the US Federal government? Yes thats right, thats her.
Know matter how you feel about Captain Cook whoever did that you should be ashamed of yourself 😮
