ohhhhh you mean they promoted him to a human. now that makes sense.

interesting no idea how that law was used?

who was classified as fauna, was it just dingos and kangaroos and such like or were there people classified as fauna too. surely somebody must have some information. after all oppression of people has everything to do with the human condition that is responsible for the cyprus problem.

how about this picture. does this say anything about australia and what she stands for.

Thank you for highlighting this interesting bit of Imperialist tactics.

This is how the Turks treat the native Greeks. It's part of the process 'mighty' powers use to dehumanise natives so that they can take over their land and property - exactly as happened in Asia Minor and now in the Turkish occupied areas of Cyprus.

[Lordo]

you are talking about something you know nothing about. far from treating the natives in the empire like the ausies treated the natives there, the ottomans had the natives run the empire for them. for instance in cyprus the go church was the tax collector. the king was the only half tergg who had power, his wife was never terggish, his children were less than half a tergg. the yeniceris soldiers were all non-terggs and even the grand vezir who was the second most powerful man were not tergs either. the when will you get it into your head that the ottomans were not terggs. they were an empire certainly, but your hatred for everything terggish is clouding your jusdgement and driving it to negative levels. did the ottoman have such a law describing what is a plant or animal and which natives were classified as animals. no.

Yes, Lordo, of course the Turks had the Greeks 'run' the Ottoman Empire for them. That's exactly what masters do with their slaves - they get them to 'run' everything (work, work) whilst paying them nothing, taxing them wherever they could and taking their freedom away. You are a foolish minion to support imperialism and enslavement in this day and age with such whimsy stupidities. Go away and grow up!

how many civilians did alex the great kill in india. now thats what you call empiring. i suspect he killed all the women and kept the men and boys as sex slaves right.

well i just wonder how much knowledge can you keep in one cell brain of yours. so what was the referendum in 1967 for. what was changed after it. did they suddenly realise that there was a flower that was not a plant after all or did they find a dingo that was a human.

What you are saying is a BIG misconception or LIE.

Aboriginals were NEVER classified as fauna. They were just not calculated into the census, hence the misconception was born that they were covered under the Flora and Fauna Act which was NOT the case.

Aboriginals also did not gain the vote in 1967. They had that from 1850, well before women were allowed to vote.

The referendum in 1967, removed Articles which forbid whites to legislate over Aboriginals. So called "white law, was not recognized over Native Australians. It also removed obstacles for them to be counted in the Census, and allowed them to obtain equal benefits like any other Australian - health care, pensions, unemployment benefits and income support etc.

For your information, the European Colonisation of Australia was the most peaceful to have ever occurred. The European Colonials actually achieved this as opposed to the Greek Invasion of Cyprus which you claim to be peaceful without any evidence.

There was no attempt to de-humanise them or kill them. However, Europeans did introduce disease, and other vices like Alcohol which had a terrible impact on them. No comparison to Turkey or Greece whatsoever because Australia is probably the most stable democracy in the world, not to mention the fact it is the richest OECD country on the planet.

We are doing much better than our British and American counterparts.

Well yes, The Greek Orthodox Church was collecting tax on behalf of the Turks and in the process subjugated the peasants.

This was part of its tactic to de-humanise Greeks in order to get paid its treacherous bounties (bribes) from the Ottoman Masters in the form of massive land parcels.

It was the biggest con and betrayal in Greek History from so called "Greeks" of the Orthodox Church who were only interested in money and power.

An interesting insight into the Greek Mentality.

I don't know how many because you haven't shown me the video yet. Speculate all you want about what happened 2,500 years ago but I thought your point is that the British destroyed the Aboriginals of Australia only a few decades ago, just like the Turks continue to do to the natives of Cyprus and Greece to this day.

Again, what is it you are trying to say?

The British had nothing to do with anything a few decades ago. Australia was Federated and Independent from 1901. Get your facts straight.

Further to this, no one has destroyed the Aborigines. They are alive and well, and quite well looked after.

Let's talk about what the Greeks did to the Choirokitians! You bought up Greece and Cyprus so let's hear about your crimes in Cyprus.
