1) Bury my heart at Wounded Knee 2) a poignant account of the crushing of Native Americans by waves after waves of European Immigrants, and the never ending stories of treaties, treason and violence. 3) if you are interested in the history of the conquest of the West, this is a highly documented ac...

That is awesome!

This is a guy who has habitually trolled people with vicious abandon for years... he's taken pleasure from taunting and tormenting those individuals who have crossed his path
That reminds me of someone, a former MVP perhaps...

Yeah, Noddy was a plum

The True German - Werner Otto Mueller-Hull A transcribed war time diary from a German military judge. It is an interesting read as it is a contemporary account of a non-nazis disbelief about all the lies and propaganda spread throughout Germany from the lead up to D-Day through to the german surrend...

He was just drawing the refs attention to the incident. And just as well it would seem.

He faked a leg injury after being dumped on his head.... poor form.

What is the story with Aumua's injury? He really needs extended time on the park to push his case for selection.

Nice! Is Dutton the little bald bloke who Benny used to pat on the head all the time?

Yes.

Is that the only place we can get access to the games in Australia though?

Shrekles

So, is the only place we can watch NZ rugby matches in Australia is via Stan?

It was very impressive that he joined the RAF after running away from the nazis.

He does an epic solo version of shark fin blues as well.

I don’t think he will be King Charles... he apparently believes Bonnie Prince Charlie was the rightful Charles III so will take another name upon his coronation.

We at least have two staff only days first up and then only years 7, 11 & 12 back on Friday - easiest first week ever.

I'll be having a stroll at Meanjin’s Invasion Day rally.

I’ll be staying at home protesting the fact that Australia Day is the last day of my holiday and I have to go back to work tomorrow.

Shrekles

It is not history’s place to offer comfort - merely objectivity.

I think ‘invasion day’ is unnecessarily divisive and misleading. It was more of an annexation. You're a white Kiwi though, yeah? If you were Aboriginal your views on the term 'Invasion Day' might be different? I am also a historian and therefore understand the difference between an invasion and an ...

I believe that anything that requires judges scores to determine who wins is not a sport so should be flicked from the olympics. Diving, synchronised swimming, eat al can all fudge off.

what is it with these weirdos? having seemingly won the election, they're not really celebrating. not sincerely. the initial, brief euphoria soon passed, giving way to the usual sneering and now something more akin to nervous giggling. i can't quite put my finger on it. oh that's right....it smells...

That only talks about the RFS budget - National Parks had been absolutely gutted in previous budgets and I have no idea how much FRNSW got this year.

Mate, this year is a doddle compared to last year - I haven't had a callout out in well over a month.

The bushfire danger is ramping up this week but it is nowhere near as bad as the same time last year. It is nice to get a bit of a respite in and train all the new volunteers that have joined up since last season.

What a difference a year makes. We are now in a La Niña cycle and have had large amounts of rainfall and a huge amount of growth in the burned areas.

I also received a premiers citation last week for fire fighting in last season - nice to get the recognition.
