Didn’t know Australians still had slavery so late in history.
They didn't even class indigenous Australians as people, until late 1960's. They were considered fauna.
That’s a myth that needs to end.

Is it ? Australia hold a référendum this year to give a bit more rights to native people. They voted against it.
Yes?
I am Australian. And the vote wasn’t about rights, it was about representation.
You can use the wording you want, Australia is a racist country that shows no respect to the native people.
America still had slavery in the 1940s when the last slave was freed (might've been later than that) and it still has slavery in the form of prison labor
China still has slavery today.
Can you tell me more about that?
Here's where I got this information, it's a long watch but well worth it. video
His videos are really detailed, fact based and eye opening for sure.
Formally, it wasn't slavery. Effectively, it was.
I'm seeing chains on necks, looks like slavery to me. Even if they were prisoners, that is inhumane.
Fucking greasy to think it's so close to recent history.
hahahahaha you think this is late???
