Ochepa ofunafuna chitetezo amafika ku gombe la Australia, ndipo ngati atero, chithandizo chawo chimakhala chokhulupirira.

 

Imodzi mwa ntchito zanga zoyambirira monga mtolankhani wachinyamata ku Sydney inali kupita ku bwalo la ndege kukafunsa anthu otchuka obwera kuchokera kutsidya la nyanja maganizo awo ponena za Australia. Panali ndandanda; mowa wathu ndi magombe anali pafupi pamwamba, kutsatiridwa ndi "ubwenzi" wathu. Ngati munthu wotchuka anazengereza kapena, mu nkhani ya filimu nyenyezi Elizabeth Taylor, anatsutsa izi asinine mafunso, kuchonderera kuti iwo sakanatha kuyankha mafunso chifukwa iwo anali asanakhalepo kale phazi ku Australia, iwo anali m'mavuto aakulu.

 

Pamene Taylor ndi mwamuna wake panthawiyo, Mike Todd, yemwe anali wopanga ku Hollywood, adauza atolankhani kuti alankhulepo, adakhumudwa ndi zofalitsa zoipa ndipo ulendo wawo unali, mwazinthu zamalonda, tsoka. Zofanana ndi zomwe zidachitika kwa nyenyezi yayikulu Ava Gardner, akujambula Nevil Shute's On the Beach in Melbourne, za apocalypse ya nyukiliya. Atafunsidwa zimene ankaganiza ponena za Australia, iye anayankha kuti: “Sindingathe kuganiza za malo abwinoko ochitirako filimu yonena za kutha kwa dziko.”

 

Iye sanakhululukidwe, ndipo analumbira kuti sadzabwereranso. Masiku ano, zingaoneke ngati palibe chomwe chasintha. Alendo (ndi expatriots) amene smudge chithunzi positikhadi akadali kusangalala ndi mkwiyo osadziwika ku New Zealand ndi Canada, makamaka atolankhani wolamulidwa ndi Rupert Murdoch, amene kukonda dziko lako amasiyanitsidwa ndi kusiya kwake nzika Australia kuti agule mawailesi yakanema ku America.

 

Kwa akuluakulu a ndale ndi atolankhani a Godzone, okhala ku Sydney, 2000

Maseŵera a Olimpiki ankaonedwa ngati mwambo wotsiriza wopita ku mayiko ena onse

dziko. Andale aang'ono ang'onoang'ono anakankhira thupi la mayiko akuluakulu ndi abwino, magetsi a Sydney anali obiriwira kwa magalimoto a International Olympic Committee, ndipo ufulu wa anthu unaimitsidwa kuti akuluakulu a boma athe kulamulira omwe angasokoneze chisangalalo; Aaborijini anali okhudzidwa kwambiri. Ndipo dziko linaombera m’manja moyenerera.

 

Kalanga, malingaliro onse ofunda a Zakachikwi aiwalika kalekale ngati

Boma la John Howard, modzidzimutsa, lagwetsa chithunzi cha dziko ndi mfundo zatsankho komanso zankhanza, zomwe zakhazikitsidwa mopanda manyazi komanso mwaukali, pakali pano motsutsana ndi othawa kwawo omwe akusowa thandizo.

 

Pantchito pano pali chipwirikiti choyipa. Okutobala watha, "nkhondo yolimbana ndi uchigawenga" itafalikira padziko lonse lapansi, mbendera zidakongoletsa ma tabloids a Murdoch pomwe asitikali aku Australia adatumizidwa kukamenya nawo nkhondo yayikulu. Izi zinali zogwirizana ndi mwambo wautali wopita kunkhondo chifukwa cha mphamvu zazikulu ndi ambuye atsamunda: kuchokera ku kutumizidwa kwa akavalo a Sydney Tramway Company kuti athetsere General Gordon ku Khartoum (anamwalira panjira) ku zochitika zoopsa za Gallipoli ndi Vietnam. Palibe amene ankawoneka kuti akudziwa zomwe asilikali opita ku Afghanistan akanachita; ndipo anthu aku America ayesetsa kuyesetsa kuwapatsa ntchito zosazolowereka, monga "kulamula" kutsekereza kwa asitikali aku America ku Iraq, komwe, malinga ndi United Nations Children's Fund, ndiyomwe imayambitsa kufa kwa ana 6,000 aku Iraq mwezi uliwonse. osakwana zaka zisanu.

 

Australia siili pankhondo ndi Iraq kapena dziko lililonse, koma ili pankhondo ndi othawa kwawo omwe akulowera kumphepete mwa nyanja, ambiri mwa iwo aku Iraq akuthawa momwe kutsekeka kwa America kudayambitsa. Kwa fuko

zomwe zimachokera ku mbiri yake yotchuka pakukwera kwa "diggers" za Anzac

(asilikali) ku gulu laubwenzi, alonda a gulu la "fair go", kampeni yolimbana ndi anthu wamba omwe ali pachiwopsezo chachikulu yakhala yothandiza.

 

Pamene sitima yapamadzi yonyamula katundu, ya Tampa, itapulumutsa othaŵa kwawo 400 ku pafupifupi kumizidwa kwinakwake, inayandikira magombe a Australia, boma la Canberra linatumiza asilikali apadera kuti aletse amuna, akazi ndi ana ovulazidwa maganizo kuti atsike. Ali mu zida zonse zomenyera nkhondo, asilikaliwo anatsogolera othaŵa kwawo ku mikhalidwe yomvetsa chisoni kuzilumba zakutali za Pacific, kumene angapo anadwala malungo. Poyesa kulungamitsa kuphwanya ufulu wachibadwidwe wa anthu, ufulu wothawirako, Prime Minister Howard ndi nduna zake ananama kuti gulu lina la othawa kwawo laponya ana awo m'madzi ngati njira yoperekera nsembe kukopa chidwi. “Ndimapeza kuti [makhalidwe a othaŵawo] sagwirizana ndi chibadwa,” anatero Howard. Anthu amenewa, anatero woweruza wina, “ndi onyansa . . . komanso osayenera ku Australia". Mtsogoleri wa Labor Party panthawiyo, Kim Beazley, adalowa nawo pachidzudzulo, mpaka kunyansidwa ndi pafupifupi aliyense. Ndipotu othaŵa kwawowo analumpha kuchoka m’ngalawa yawo yomwe inkaduka pamene chombo chankhondo cha ku Australia chinawomba mauta ake. Palibe ana amene "anaponyedwa m'madzi", adavomereza mkulu wankhondo wapamadzi ku Australia, kutsutsana kosowa ndi mbuye wake wandale.

 

Anthu aku Iraq ndi Afghan omwe akwanitsa kufika ku Australia amalandira chithandizo chomwe, kwa gulu lolengeza za chikhalidwe cha anthu, chikhulupiliro chopemphapempha. Ambiri anatsekeredwa m’ndende kuseri kwa waya wa lezala m’malo ena oipa kwambiri padziko lapansi, olekanitsidwa dala ndi malo okhala “m’malo osungira anthu” oyendetsedwa ndi kampani ya ku America yodziŵa za ukaidi wachitetezo chapamwamba. Pakuthedwa nzeru kwawo, anthu othawa kwawo, ambiri a iwo ana osatsagana nawo, ayamba kudzipha, njala, kutentha moto ndi kuthawa kwakukulu. Sabata yatha, anthu 62 othawa kwawo mumsasa wa Woomera m'chipululu cha South Australia adasoka milomo yawo kutsutsa kuvomereza kwa boma kuti likuchedwetsa pempho lawo lachitetezo, "mwadala kuti aswe mzimu wawo", atero maloya omwe adawalola kuwafikira.

 

Kafukufuku wina wasonyeza kuti ambiri anavutikapo kwambiri asanathawe kwawo. “Nthaŵi zambiri,” analemba motero Robert Manne, pulofesa wa payunivesite ya LaTrobe ku Melbourne, “othaŵa kwawo anafunikiritsidwa kukaona zoopsa za zochitika zoterozo pamene akufunsidwa mafunso ndi akuluakulu osadziŵa amene amamveketsa bwino lomwe kuti samakhulupirira nkhani zimene amauzidwa. ” Mumsasa umodzi, moyo wawo umakhala ndi zovuta za tsiku ndi tsiku komanso zowerengera usiku, nthawi ya 2am ndi 5am, pansi pa ulamuliro wa zilango zopanda malire zomwe zimachokera ku kukana kwa alendo kupita kutsekeredwa m'ndende komanso kukakamiza sedation.

 

Howard ndi nduna zake alimbikitsa kufalitsa nkhani zabodza za mantha ndi kunyansidwa pakati pa anthu aku Australia. Umu ndi kusuliza kwa Howard kumene sanafotokozepo kwa anthu a ku Australia kuti dziko lawo limalandiradi mmodzi mwa anthu “osaloledwa” ofunafuna chitetezo padziko lapansi: pafupifupi 4,000 pachaka. Mwa awa, magawo atatu mwa magawo atatu amavomerezedwa, koma atangomangidwa mokakamizidwa komanso kosatha m'misasa yofotokozedwa ndi Prime Minister wakale wa Conservative a Malcolm Fraser ngati "mabowo a gehena".

 

Mtumiki amene ali ndi udindo ndi Philip Ruddock, mwamuna amene amalankhula m’mawu achilendo, opindika, kaŵirikaŵiri moseka. Zaka zitatu zapitazo, Ruddock anandinyadira kuti imfa ya makanda a Aborigine inali “yokha” katatu kuposa ya ana achizungu. Kuzunza kwa Ruddock kwa omwe adazunzidwa kwakhala siginecha yake yodabwitsa. Chaka chatha, adatcha mwana wazaka zisanu ndi chimodzi waku Iraq yemwe adasowa chonena chifukwa cha zomwe adakumana nazo kundende yandende kuti "izo". Pamene mkulu wa Amnesty International anamuuza za mikhalidwe yowopsya m’misasa ya pachisumbu cha Pacific cha Nauru, amene boma lake la Australia lodzala ndi ngongole linapereka chiphuphu kuti litenge anthu ake a m’ngalawamo, jocular jibe ya ndunayo inali yakuti: “Kodi mukuganiza kuti angakonde kukhala pa imodzi mwa malo athu otsekeredwa kuno?”

 

Thandizo la "oyera" osamukira kudziko lina ndi losiyana kwambiri. Mu 2001,

panali anthu 6,160 a ku Britain amene anadumphira panthaŵi ya ma visa awo, ndiponso monganso Azungu ena ambiri. Palibe amene amapita kundende ndipo ambiri amapatsidwa "visa yotsekera". Akuti "kulimba mtima" kwa Howard polimbana ndi "chiwopsezo" chophatikizidwa ndi othawa kwawo komanso zigawenga zapadziko lonse lapansi zidamupatsa chigonjetso chake mu Novembala watha. "Kodi Australia ndi yotetezeka?" adachonderera mutu wankhani mu Nyengo ya Melbourne, mwina pamalo otetezeka kwambiri padziko lapansi. Nyuzipepala ya Sunday Telegraph ya Murdoch inagwirizananso ndi mawu akuti: “Mwapadera: Mwana wosalakwa wa wachiwembu akufunsa . . . Kodi abambo adzaphulitsa Australia?" Kampeni ya nyuzipepala ya Murdoch yolimbana ndi woyendetsa ndege waku Australia, David Hicks, yemwe adamenya nkhondo ndi a Taliban, akugwirizana ndi kukana kochititsa manyazi kwa Howard kufuna kuti United States imubwezere kudziko lake kapena kumutenga ngati PoW.

 

Pali kulumikizana pakati pa chipwirikiti chabodza ichi ndi "kulimba mtima" komwe kumachitikiranso anthu amtundu wa Aborigines, ochepa a pafupifupi 2 peresenti ya anthu. Pamene wosewera nkhonya wachiaborijini, Anthony Mundine, adanena pawailesi yakanema kuti Achimereka "adadzibweretsera [uchigawenga] [pa] zomwe adachita m'mbiri yanthawi", adangomenyedwa. Iye ndi Msilamu. Zikomo zake

"Zolankhula zachiwembu", adalira m'modzi mwa ofalitsa nkhani, "mawu akuti ntchito yake yolonjeza padziko lonse lapansi yatha".

 

Monga Australia idakhazikika ngati gawo lina la "chuma chapadziko lonse lapansi", tsoka la iwo omwe akufuna kunyadira zomwe dziko lawo likuchita ndikuchotsa mbiri yandale yomwe pali zambiri zoti inyadire, ndipo nkhani zake zosokoneza modabwitsa ndizo. samanena kawirikawiri.

Australia inali dziko loyamba kumene anthu wamba adapambana sabata ya maola 35, theka la zana patsogolo pa Europe ndi America. Kale kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi, Australia inali ndi malipiro ochepa, mapindu a ana ndi penshoni. Amayi aku Australia anali oyamba kuvota ndikuyimirira ku nyumba yamalamulo. Kuvota kwachinsinsi kunapangidwa ku Australia.

 

M'moyo wanga, Australia idasinthidwa kuchoka ku gulu lachingelezi la Anglo-Irish kupita ku malo ena azikhalidwe zosiyanasiyana padziko lapansi, ndipo izi zachitika mwamtendere, ngati mwachisawawa. Malinga ndi mfundo zambiri zachitukuko, kusinthaku ndi kupambana kwakukulu. Inde, nzika zaku Australia sizinaphatikizidwepo. Chitukuko chawo chodabwitsa, kupulumuka kwawo ndi umodzi ndi dziko lakale, sizinaphunzitsidwe, kufikira posachedwa, monga magwero a kunyada kwa dziko; ndi kuphatikizika kwawo, komwe kukuyenera kukwaniritsidwa, kungakhale chinsinsi cha zomwe osankhidwa ang'onoang'ono omasuka nthawi zonse amazitcha "kufunafuna kudziwika" ndikutanthauza kugonjetsa cholowa cha tsankho lankhanza.

 

Sabata yatha, a Pauline Hanson adapuma pantchito pazandale, makamaka chifukwa boma la Howard lidasokoneza ndikutenga chidwi chake. Chipani chake cha One Nation chowonekera poyera pachimake chidatenga 10 peresenti ya mavoti adziko lonse: pafupifupi anthu miliyoni. Tsopano iwo ndi anthu a Howard. Sanapemphe anthu okhawo omwe angosiyidwa m'zakudya zomwe zatenga anthu omwe kale anali ndi ndalama zochulukirapo padziko lonse lapansi ndipo tsopano ndi amodzi mwa anthu osalingana. Analinso ndi chithandizo chapakati, ngakhale izi sizimatchulidwa kawirikawiri. “Pauline, unatipanga kukhala owona mtima,” unatero mutu wankhani m’nyuzipepala ya Sydney Morning Herald. Wolembayo, a Margo Kingston, yemwe akuwoneka kuti amadziona ngati wowolowa manja, adadandaula za "cholowa chosamalizidwa cha mutu wofiira wochokera ku Ipswich (Queensland)" komanso zakuthandizira kolimbikitsa kwa Hanson ku "mkangano" wadziko lonse. M’malo mwake, Hanson analimbikitsa kusaona mtima mwa kupereka chikhulupiriro chatsankho.

 

M’zaka zaposachedwapa, “mkangano” umenewu wasonkhezeredwa ndi gulu la otsutsa a mtundu wa David Irving amene amati kunalibe kuphedwa kwa anthu oyambirira a ku Australia, kunalibe m’mbuyo mwankhanza. Choimbira ichi cha zikwama zoyendera mphepo za “kumanja kwa mwezi” (mawu ogwiritsiridwa ntchito ndi wolemba nkhani wina amene amakonda kunamizira kuti sali mmodzi wa iwo) amalamulira osindikizira omwe ali ndi umwini wocheperapo kusiyana ndi kulikonse kumadzulo. Murdoch ali ndi 70 peresenti ya makina osindikizira a capital city; ndipo atolankhani ndi oulutsa nkhani amene amalankhula momasuka kwambiri ayenera kuganizira zotsatira zake, makamaka amene ali mu bungwe lolandira ndalama ndi boma la Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

 

Papita zaka zoposa 20 chiyambire pamene sewero labwino la David Williamson lakuti Sons of Kaini linanena za kuwopseza kumeneku, ndipo zasintha pang’ono. Ochepa chabe, monga olemba ofufuza a Brian Toohey ndi Ken Davidson, adavutitsidwa kuti amvetsetse ndikuchenjeza anthu nthawi zonse pazinthu zofunika, monga mgwirizano wamalonda wachinsinsi womwe boma la Howard likulumikizana ndi United States komanso zomwe zidzalola mayiko ambiri aku America. kusokoneza mabizinesi ambiri osalimba aku Australia ndikuwongolera malonda ake.

 

Anthu ambiri aku Australia amasamala za izi, ndikuwonetsa kufooka kwawo. Kupitilira chaka chapitacho, anthu pafupifupi miliyoni miliyoni adadzaza mlatho wa Sydney Harbor Bridge potsutsa chithandizo chamankhwala

Aaborijini. Ndizovuta kupeza aliyense amene sadabwe ndi ndondomeko ya anthu othawa kwawo. Koma machitidwe awo, ngakhale atakhala abwino komanso achifundo, salinso okwanira, popeza "cholowa chosamalizidwa" cha Hanson chapeza kuvomerezeka kwake m'boma losankhidwa.

 

Kwa ambiri, pali chidwi choyerekeza ndi tsankho ku South Africa. Tsiku lina, Andrea Durbach, yemwe kale anali wa ku Cape Town ndipo tsopano woimira ufulu wachibadwidwe ku Sydney, adanena kuti samakhulupirira kuti zoopsya za tsankho ku South Africa zidzabwerezedwanso ku Australia. "Zomwe zitha kubwera sizoyipa," adatero. “Chilankhulochi si chamwano. Ndizochenjera kwambiri; ndizogwirizana kwambiri. "
