Johnny, did we bring POW's all the way to Cowra? That is f#%n bizarre.
We did. Lots of them. Good - removes them a long way from possible return to combat and assistance from their forces. Bad - if they break out, there is a chance they can for a guerilla force on the home front.

Or did we do what that Yanks did, in prison local's that happened to be on the other side "due to war".
Yeah, although we did intern local Germans and others during the wars. Concentration camps in Australia, yay for silly humans!

Progrom?? Not sure that just rings a bell.

Off for a lunchtime run though so ask away
Correct. I'm trying to focus on paper work...Bermie? You got a question for the folks at home?

But we were fighting against that...at least now we have our concentration camps offshore. Speaking of which...do we know the ratio of kids:adults currently locked up in those?

Ooookay, so, what did Martin Bryant reportedly have bolted to the roof rack of his car at one point?

"Though Australia has tens of thousands of skilled sporting shooters it has very few combat veterans, and even fewer special forces personnel trained to kill large numbers of people quickly in an enclosed space like the Broad Arrow Cafe, which is roughly the same size as mock-up rooms used for practicing the rescue of hostages being held in confined spaces by armed terrorists.

"It is hard to kill quickly under such circumstances for a number of unpleasant reasons, including the fact that shot people tend to fall against other people, shielding the latter from subsequent bullets.

"Targets therefore have to be shot in a careful sequence with split-second timing to maximise kill rates.

"Whoever was on the trigger in Tasmania managed a kill rate well above that required of a fully trained soldier, an impossible task for a man with Martin Bryant's mid-sixties IQ and his total lack of military training, which is an interesting but largely unimportant observation because we have already proved in absolute scientific terms that Bryant could not have acted alone."

Why apologise for your having plucked another meaningless and unverified conspiracy theory?

Bryant did not kill in an enclosed space for one piddling little matter.
Am I allowed to research history and come to my own conclusions?
Yes you are allowed to reach your own conclusions.

However, we also do the same when you give us those conclusions. When you do that, and we consider it to be completely fucking batshit, we are allowed to state that too.
