“Education was limited to a special ‘Blacks’ year 4 … yet the
community flourished in its attraction to education through
the study of theology, and the words and books from the
missionaries. Upon reflection I often wonder what would
have been our history had those books been books of science,
maths or an encyclopaedia of ideas.”
- Arabella Douglas, ‘Glory Glory to South Sydney,’ FOOTY ALMANAC

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
