Dunt: “You an idiot lonely ranger even primary kids know cinvicts wher from petty crimes like stealing bread to feed children ....tosser”
I’m sure that is what’s taught in Duntstralian schools,,,, but what sense does it make to transport someone so far for stealing bread??
The worst of the worst were put on Dunt island.
What’s a “cinvict”??
10% of your population comes from convicts?? Okay!
3 years old,,,, 2 years old??? You need a cheat sheet for your precious info!!
“and don't start you claimed Thailand at 3 month was dangerous”
Huh?? Well,,, Thailand is the most dangerous place for Australians,,, and they had or are having a coup there,,, so spend as much time there as you like!!!
Ozjohn,,,,, I guess people don’t like it when their country is insulted??? Danny has been doing it to the US for over ten years,,,, I’m just feeding his crap back to him!
People,, usually men, were also caught for petty crimes and then given a choice between jail or military service,,,, “Conscripted”
While I’m sure that we had prisons here in the US,,,, they are far from being as infamous as Australia’s penal colonies!
the first 50.000 convicts that the british sent to AMERICA where hard crims ...killers and rapists and hard criminals ......
this explains why America has a 15 times higher crime rate then Australia .
loony you best go and ask your history teacher ...the convicts transported to Australia where petty criminals .... its fact loony you cant dispute this .
find me one thing that America has better then Australia .....you cant there is none
prisons were only in America after the American revolution about the time the poms started transporting convicts to Australia . you didn't have prisons when the first fleet of convicts arrived in Australia you where most probably building prisons at this time .
you know most convicts where released in a short time and there families where sent to Australia to settle . go check with your best friend google loony ranger ,ask your wife or kids ......sorry I forgot you don't have any .....getting a bit old arnt you ? you better hurry or you miss the ship
Ozjohn,,,, I never heard about flies or rats coming over with the “whiteman” here,,,, just flies in Australia. But it’s possible. What did come over was a list of diseases that the native population had no resistance to.
Europeans also brought over such things as dandelions and Starlings.
The new threat to America are bugs coming from Asia via China and it’s exports.
“New South Wales, a state in southeast Australia, was founded by the British as a penal colony in 1788. Over the next 80 years, more than 160,000 convicts were transported to Australia from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, in lieu of being given the death penalty.
Today, about 20% of Australians are descendants of convicts, including plenty of prominent citizens. According to genealogists, former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd’s great-great-great-great-great grandmother was sentenced to be hanged when she was just 11 years old for committing robbery. When her sentence was reduced, she was sent to Australia on the second fleet, where conditions were so bad that 25% of its convicts died on the voyage. Celebrity chef Maggie Beer discovered on an episode of Who Do You Think You Are?, a family ancestry programme, that her great-great-great grandmother and great-great-great grandfather (a thief and a bigamist, respectively) met after being transported to Australia. On another episode of the same show, actor Jack Thompson learned that his great-great-great grandfather was a convict from Ireland, charged with highway robbery.
For at least a century after convict transportation ended in 1868, the Australian colonies tried to hide their founding legacy. Historians were met with serious hesitation when they wanted to highlight the injustices of transportation, a harsh punishment that was often sentenced to impoverished people whose crimes were extremely minor, wrote Babette Smith in the book Australia’s Birthstain. “
“This week archives revealed two million of us are descended from the convicts deported to Australia. Here we tell the shocking stories of depravity and despair on the very first convoy that took them to the new world
Poor Elizabeth Beckford. She was 70 years old and her crime was stealing 12lb of Gloucester cheese.
For that she could have hanged. Hundreds did in those violent, vengeful days, dancing "the Tyburn frisk" in the words of those who crammed around the gallows to watch this favourite spectator sport of the 18th century. But the state, in its mercy, saved her life - and gave her a punishment that some would see as worse than death.
She was an unwilling passenger on a fleet of 11 ships that set out from England in 1787, the first of the convoys of the criminal underclass - as the ruling elite of Georgian England saw them - sent in chains to colonise new and dangerous shores on the other side of the world.”
Danny,,, I’m starting to understand you a little better. Only a person with such a questionable past and heritage, would consider murder to be as bad or worse than using free wi fi three times in their lifetime.
I’ve kept my promise to never use free wi fi again,,,, have you stopped killing???
L.R you have done some research on Australia. American independence came at 1786 which England had no other choice but to set up a new base, as America was an independent nation. so it took 2 year after the American independent to find Australia in 1788 for convicts.
England need to populate this country as quick as possible. so Convict were the solution to add numbers as we were still at war with France. so any minor crimes they saw as an opportunity to send them to Australia.
the dumping grounds for convicts were Sydney and hobart at the being. do your 7 years sentence and be free to stay or go back to England most stay as they were given free land to work.

“only breeding these days loooney ,,,,,cant wait for my girl to arrive in a few months .”
A crime against humanity!! Dunts and duntettes!
“how do you explain America and it massive crime rate .best you should research what went wrong in America. “
Cities here have crime,,, just like every city in the world. Crime around my home,,,,, nope! About 15 years ago they were looking for someone,,,, and asked everyone to lock their doors and pull the keys out of cars. They found him a couple days later. Everyone was excited at the prospect of having a fugitive running around,,,,, it doesn’t happen very often.
My home town has a connection with Al Capone,,,,, but that was a few years before me.
yeah I live in a small city to but that doesn't explain the high American crime rate .
looney your having a go at Australians coming from criminals .but australias crime rate is much lower then America ,,,,,so! why is that ...is it the blacks or the daily struggle in life . can you answer one simple question..
I have no criminal record ...speeding fines ....catching a white pointer shark nearly landed me a criminal record but a good lawyer did the trick ,,,,I actually doubt you have a clean slate .perhaps your still on home detention and that's the reason you live with the parents ?
John Williamson – Waltzing Matilda(Australian unofficial,
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a coolabah tree,
And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"
And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled,
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".
Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong,
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee,
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".
Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred,
Down came the troopers, one, two, three,
"Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?"
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"
"Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?",
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".
Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong,
"You'll never take me alive", said he,
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me."
"Oh, You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me."
