Anthony Thorne Wrote:Pilger has written about this before. Scanning the local papers and news media down here in Australia over the past few days, I saw absolutely nothing written about what Pilger has elaborated on above. No surprise I guess, but Pilger's sharp depiction of what we had, and what we lost, does make me a little sad.
I guess the saddest part is that is seems most in Oz don't know this important history.....and the controlled media are not about to present it to them. I'm sure it is NOT in history/political science books - even at the university level. To find this out, one has to have the inclination to look beyond the propaganda.....
