      The difference between them and the convicts is a bit academic, since most were only petty criminals who were stealing to get by at a time when there was no social security only poor houses and exploitation.
      Some were Irish radicals, some were hardened criminals but most were not. Thank goodness for the Irish and the Scots though, they livened things up! Australia was founded on a lot of idealism and notions of equality and we were among the first to give the vote to women and recognise one vote one value. In early times voting was according to considerations like property.

    Fact check Ryan 😢 the American lady stated Bob Hawke as the longest serving Prime Minister. He wasn’t. Robert Menzies was the longest serving with 4 terms then John Howard with 3 and then everyone else who have served 2-2.5 or 1 or less.
    The 6cm movement north of the continent is actually 7. And the 7,000 beaches is nearly 12,000.

    • @macman1469
      @macman1469 Год назад +5

      You're right about Menzies then Howard in longevity as PM . I think you may have have confused how many elections they won as PM with how many terms they served as PM. Australian Federal Representatives are voted in 3 year terms ,though they can call for an election sooner. So with Menzies 16yrs (without counting his first term 1.5years approx) and Howard serving 11years they must have served more than 4 and 3 terms as PM .

    • @murraya82

    "the emu, the only bird close in height to an ostrich"... apart from a cassowary and jabiru, also found in Australia and probably other birds overseas. She was wrong about the longest serving Prime Minister too. Robert Menzies (10 years longer) and John Howard (3 years longer) served much longer than Bob Hawke's 8 years. "Oh what is that? That's cool." Was Port Arthur - the site of convict settlement in Tasmania (also the site of the worst mass shooting in the world ever at the time (1996) which prompted Australia's very successful gun control laws and gun buyback).

He was elected because for many years, before entering politics, he was the most popular person in Australia, known for being a man of the people as well as being very smart (a Rhodes Scholar). In fact, from the time he entered parliament, it was always assumed that he would be the next prime minister, sooner rather than later, and of course, he was.
