Australian History Is Interesting

You'd be surprised by what they don't teach you in schools. This well acted documentary is just one of them.

I mean, I hadn't even heard about most of it and it was during this doco and through conversation with my mother that at one point schools did in fact teach such history. So why don't they do it now? I mean, history is vital to learn as it helps shape the future. Learn from past mistakes to become better, those who fail to learn from past mistakes are doomed to repeat them, that sort of thing. Hell, we still haven't added the Aboriginal people to the constitution yet and the more important question to that is, why hasn't it been done?

Needless to say, this was a very interesting documentary and we need more of these in the future.
