    I think the term developed country really pricked my ears there, sorry if you felt attacked, it was more a reminder (and also I was unaware, despite knowing that river bends were almost always Indigenous camping grounds)

    Lots of massacres occured at sites like this, settlers ambushing men, woman and children while they camped near riverbends.

    I dont care for cricket.

      No need to apologise, it’s good to call it out.

      Yep, pretty sickening - then when you start to think about the place names that haven’t been charged yet (to whitewash the violence of colonisation) and wonder why there are so many “slaughter creeks”.
