Australia s longest war is within its own shores
« Australia’s longest war is within its own shores April 22, 2021
War in the Middle East has often been referred to as Australia’s longest war. But is this genuinely the truth? My whole life I have been exposed to people from the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nations who have used those same words to describe the effects of colonisation. As a child in school one teacher after another refused to acknowledge a war had ever been fought upon these shores. I was always that kid who pointed out their error because Japan bombed Darwin. Then I would ask about the stories I had heard from my own family and clans. A part of Australian history that was referred to by my Elders as the killing times. During what is now described as the Frontier Wars, where some reports estimate 90% of the Indigenous population was lost.

WHITMAN Nathaniel Rodman, affectionately known as Nate the Great, has faced great adversity in his first year of life.
The 1-year-old Whitman boy was born with multiple heart and kidney defects that have required several surgeries, including an open-heart surgery when he was only 5 weeks old.
Nathaniel s parents were told to expect that he would likely need five other open-heart surgeries throughout his life.
One of those Nathaniel s second in less than two years of life took place on Wednesday at Boston Children s Hospital.
And Nathaniel received a special escort to that surgery thanks to some of his father s friends. His dad, Matthew Rodman, has been a Randolph police officer for more than seven years.
