From Victoria To Tasmania, Anti-Statue Virus Spreading Still!
A year or two ago, we had a depressing report from Victoria, a left-bigot mayor disowning democratic principles…..…
Victoria, BC – Pinko Mayor Scorns Democracy!
..
….but that wasn’t the Australian Victoria, although that state too…
.ooooo
Jaclyn ‘Jackboot’ Symes – Most Totalitarian Vixen In Oz?
…has some very nasty people who make the news!
But from Canada’s Victoria then, switch your gaze to Australia’s Tasmania, to the city of Hobert, where councillors have just decided, by 7 votes to 4, to haul down the statue of a prominent citizen named Crowther, in response to a campaign by whiners vexed by something that man did with an Aboriginal cadaver, over 100 years sgo.
Crowther removed Lanne’s skull from his corpse while an associate removed his feet and hands. He is also believed to have exhumed the remains of other Aboriginal Tasmanians.
Okay, not too nice, but what public figures, otherwise well thought of, haven’t done things we would disapprove of.
Infinitely worse than dismembering a corpse (for scientific reasons, apparently) was the behaviour of the Western Allies’ war-time leaders at Yalta…
..
….condeming millions of Poles and other good people to the slave-system called communism.
oooooo
I saw one blonde woman, allegedly speaking on behalf of disgruntled Aborigines, on ABC yesterday morning, rejoicing at the vote, so I looked for more information on this latest outbreak of the anti-statue plague, which has spread around the world…
.

… a form of mental illness, surely.
oooo
One of the dissenting councillors, Simon Behrakis, talked sense, ‘saying history should be preserved “warts and all”.
“That statue didn’t go up celebrating the horrors and appalling acts committed. It celebrated a man’s contribution to the state,” he said. “Removing the statue does sanitise history. We don’t learn anything from history if it is hidden away.”
