Episode 306 - The Battle of Brisbane
08/04/2024 Duración: 01h31minSUPPORT THE SHOW: https://www.patreon.com/lionsledbydonkeys Joe and Nate talk about the time a bunch of drunken American soldiers caused a pitched battle between themselves and their allies while stationed in Australia during WWII Correction: Indigenous Australians were given Australian citizenship at the same time other Australians (1949) however, the quality of that citizenship was not equal to that of non-indigenous Australians. This continued for decades and as many indigenous Australian activists have pointed out, continues in various forms to this day. This included discrimination on enlistment. Some areas of Australia legally allowed indigenous people to enlist, but in practice, turned them away based on how they looked. Others were enlisted but not paid. Others were paid, but not equally and kept in segregated units and virtually none received benefits. sources: https://www.ozatwar.com/ozatwar/bob.htm https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/E84830 https://www.9news.com.au/national/the-battle-of-brisb
