Didn’t know Australians still had slavery so late in history.

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

[–] A_cook_not_a_chef@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

And we still have slavery. It is legal per the 13th amendment. Disgusting.

[–] raynethackery@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Can you tell me more about that?

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

His videos are really detailed, fact based and eye opening for sure.

China still has slavery today.

[–] novibe@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

Also India, many places in Europe, the Arab states, South and North America. Or do you mean China is specially “slavey”?

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

I mean sure maybe idk anything about china. What made you bring it up?

They didn't even class indigenous Australians as people, until late 1960's. They were considered fauna.

Aboriginals we’re even denied a seat in politics just in the last few months. I remember being shocked they voted in Tony abbot ..who for years screamed about women’s menstruation in parliament. Australia is super backwards.

[–] Couldbealeotard@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Abbott was also appointed Minister for Women.

The Voice which, if I understand correctly, wasn't an offer of a seat in parliament, it was a constitutional amendment that would allow an advisory board for Aboriginal and Torres strait islanders. They wouldn't have had any actual power any way.

It was a British penal colony up until 1840
