REMARKS ON THE DISPOSITIONS, CUSTOMS, MANNERS, etc. OF THE NATIVE INHABITANTS OF THAT COUNTRY.

SOME PARTICULARS OF NEW ZEALAND;

By DAVID COLLINS, Esquire,
LATE JUDGE ADVOCATE AND SECRETARY OF THE COLONY.
ILLUSTRATED BY ENGRAVINGS.
VOLUME I.
Many might be saved who now suffer an ignominious and an early death; and many might be so much purified in the furnace of punishment and adversity, as to become the ornaments of that society of which they had formerly been the bane. The vices of mankind must frequently require the severity of justice; but a wise State will direct that severity to the greatest moral and political good. ANON.

Pinjarra massacre: 28 October 1834

The attack began at 8am on 28 October 1834.
Led by the governor of Western Australia, Captain James Stirling, an armed party of 25 people – alongside Stirling were the colony’s surveyor general, JS Roe; the police superintendent, Theophilus Ellis; a leading settler, Thomas Peel; five mounted police officers; eight soldiers of the 21st Regiment; and eight civilians – attacked a Pindjarup Noongar encampment on the Murray River, 85km south of Perth. (Dr Chris Owen: Guardian 20 November 2019)

James Stirling is buried in Guildford near St John's Stoke Church
This Australian Dictionary of Biography entry should be updated with the facts of the massacre - and reviewed in light of present day reading of the letters and journals of the time.

In recent years, he has used the true story of Chinese-Australian bushranger Sam Poo as a "vessel to reveal the truth of history but also the reality of what being Chinese Australian, or Asian Australian, or an immigrant, is."

Phuong Ngo says: "To put it in simple terms, it's that question that every single person who isn't part of the mainstream Australian community gets asked: 'Where are you from?'
"What it really means is, you don't look like you belong here. And if you are constantly asked where you are from, and the answers that you give aren't satisfactory, then you have to question 'Do I really belong here? Am I encroaching on someone else's space?'
"And you then start interrogating who you are and where you have come from — literally, metaphorically, personally, emotionally."
