This is bloody wonderful. These buggers should have studied history. Australians
and New Zealanders are the last people on Earth that anyone should want to stuff
around with. It never,ever ends well for the aggressor,ever!
the rebellion was pushed down, with (I think) two deaths and other casualties. Lalor lost his arm. but he was voted into Parliament the next year, and eventually became Speaker. Was involved in designing the Constitution, I hear (unconfirmed).
The government was put on notice, corruption was found out and removed, and things improved. In short, we won.
My favorite lalor quote:
"Comrades, assist me to pray for the safety of these men. Bless these men that go to fight for their rights and liberties. May Heaven shield them from danger.”
Eureka certainly cemented mateship and a fair go into Australian culture. That culture stood us in goodstead through World Wars,Depressions,droughts,floods and bushfires.
It such a shame that our mettle is once again being so sorely tested by this fight for our very existence.
Stay safe and stay strong,UncleHooly,we'll get through this rubbish.
