Australia on Trial (2011) - the Eureka 13
Presented by historian Michael Cathcart, Australia on Trial is a thought‐provoking three‐part series recreating the historic trials that throw light on the Australia of colonial times. These high‐profile and controversial court cases raised major issues of national identity at a time when Australia was evolving from the dominion of the British Empire into a more autonomous federated nation in the late 19th century.
Each of the cases caused a sensation at the time and attracted enormous public interest. Each triggered social and political debate about subjects at the very heart of Australian society: democracy and justice, the identity and behaviour of Australia's men, and attitudes towards women and Indigenous people - themes and concerns that are still relevant to modern-day Australia.
This case was the combined trials in 1855 of the Eureka Stockade rebels. In the
aftermath of the Eureka rebellion, the attorney general of Victoria, William Stawell, was
determined to hang the rebels for treason. After all, he said, these men had taken up arms
against her Majesty's government. On the face of it, Stawell was on strong ground. The
miners had indeed raised a 'rebel flag'. They had drilled with weapons and they had
denounced the governor. Twelve men were to stand trial, one by one. The first was a black
American, probably an escaped slave, named John Joseph. The population of Melbourne
was in no mood to hang a man who had been driven to desperate lengths by an inept and
militaristic government -- a government which was on the very eve of being abolished to
make way for a new system of popular elections. In the end, all of the rebels walked free.

Stop Police Racism!
Listen to how Aboriginal people are mucked-over by white society's watchdogs, acting more like uniformed BraBoys. Happy European Aussies in their happy european homes rarely witness the day2day reality of Aboriginal Aussies.
Hear key black informants' stories of entrenched bias, shameful lack of care and criminally ignorant personnel. But let's not blame the individual 1000% white police officers - as no police or correctional officer has ever been charged for a aussie black-death-in-custody despite a royal commission and a decade of reconcilliation bake-offs. Since that time aboriginal_inmates continue to die at an undiminished rate.
You are invited to attend this open meeting. Hear how a black-death-in-custody is covered up. Hear the story of Domagee who sadly passed away on Palm Island under the knee of a senior PO. Hear the voices of Aboriginal knowledge and common sense describe what you need do to return justice to Aboriginal Australians.

Historical Background
The historical relationship between the armed forces of the colonising British invaders (under their framework of a state police) was established at its formation as the corrupt and politicised Rum Corps.
Further along the way, throughout the early 1800's, this force was utilised to clear the ancient homelands of native homelanders across the central and far west, lower south and northwestern regions. Captured Natives were 'forced' into rag-tag anti-native squads lead by war-hardened ex-marines from UK and US campaigns.
Native resisters had little defence against the police-backed re-settlement programs for the invading european refugees with the police force of NSW specifically initiating military assasination squads targetting native leaders..
Here's an order for a quantity of executions of unidentified aussie citizens based on race. How would an innocent native title rights holder defend themselves against this military killing squad?
December 1790 Sydney town: NSW Governor Phillip ordered -
a party ... of two captains, two subalterns and forty privates, with a proper number of non-commissioned officers from the garrison ... to bring in six of those natives who reside near the head of Botany Bay; or, if that number shall be found impracticable,
to put that number to death.
As a result the people of the nations of the Dharug, the Wiradjuri, the Gamilaraay, the Maianjali, the Dhangutti, the Bangulung were detained and enslaved, or if resisting - hunted and killed.
This resulted in some slaughterous attacks on native families you'd have to say were massacres.
1838 Myall Creek - 10 June: 28 people killed at Myall Creek near Inverell, New South Wales. This was the first Aboriginal massacre for which European settlers were successfully convicted. Several colonists had previously been found not guilty by juries despite the weight of evidence and one colonist found guilty had been pardoned when his case was referred to Britain for sentencing. Eleven men were charged with murder but were initially acquitted by a jury. On the orders of the Governor, a new trial was held using the same evidence and seven of the eleven men were found guilty of the murder of one Aboriginal child and hanged.
According to journalist Bruce Elder the successful prosecutions resulted in pacts of silence becoming commonplace to avoid evidence gathering and to avoid the embarrassment of a european being held accountable for 'only killing a black.
Another effect, as a Sydney newspaper reported at the time, was that poisoning Aboriginals became more common as it was a a safer practice.
Mid-1838. Gwydir River. A war of extirpation, according to local magistrate Edmund Denny Day, was waged all along the Gwydir River in mid-1838. 'Aborigines in the district were repeatedly pursued by parties of mounted and armed stockmen, assembled for the purpose, and that great numbers of them had been killed at various spots'
[More Info: @ wikipedia.com]
Most massacres went unpunished due to these coverups and collusions, and what is variously termed a 'racial conspiracy' or 'code of silence' over the killings of aboriginal people leading to today's suppression of information and avoidance of historical accuracy in education..
Anyway - don't listen to me - go look and listen to these clear sincere people.
