"The Stolen Generation" - we used to have those in Canada as well. It eventually became illegal several decades ago.

Damn, I can't believe you're only 15 and that happened to you! I thought they stopped stealing aboriginal kids from their families decades and decades ago. That sort of racist bullshit makes me sick.
That's really awesome that you found your mum again. Congratulations, I wish you and your family all the best for the future you'll now have together!

Smashing. I heard about all of the terrible things that happened in Australia's past mostly though my Mother quoting "The Rabbit-Proof fence* to me. If you're 15 then you would have to be born in 1992 or 1991 at the earliest.. That's fucked up to know it was still going on back then.
John Howard's been around for 12 years last time I checked, so this makes me loose a lot of faith in the Australian Government.
Research is in need.
Oh, I understood all of those slangs. Must be from growing up with lots of Maoris. If you ever manage to come over to New Zealand, I'll give you a Tui.
Or perhaps a Double-Brown if It's a poor week. (Cheaper beer).

Fine. Stellartois or some bullshit like that. I Prefer Tui over Hollandia but enjoy MASH a lot more.
But if I was gonna introduce someone to a Kiwi Beer it's Tui or Export..
I choose Tui.
