		It served as an advertisement for a public meeting that presaged the infamous Lambing Flat riots later that year.

		April 27, 2006 8:31 PM The victims of Australia's worst mass murder will be remembered today, on the 10th anniversary of the tragedy in Port Arthur in Tasmania.
		I still wonder how many were murdered during the Lambing Flat Riots, but nobody bothered to count the dead and wounded Chinese.
		And had no idea at all that a mass murder had taken place there except for one tiny thing at the end of the brochure, noting that the guides would prefer not to be asked about the massacre and if you wanted to know, to ask for a special brochure.

		"No man's land", Terra nullius was taken over by the British in a colonisation which included attempted genocide of the indigenous population and brutal massacres.
		In 1860 the turf had to be defended against Chinese miners by Caucasian miners, known as the 'Lambing Flat massacre'.

		Instantaneously British public opinion was polarised by the massacre of 'Peterloo' - a term coined by a radical journalist that cleverly combined the location with the fact that the meeting had taken place on the fourth anniversary of the battle of Waterloo.
		For supporters of the largest working-class movement of the 1840s, the Chartists, this was evident in innumerable ways, from the monument erected by subscription in Manchester in commemoration of 'Orator' Hunt, to the scores of ballads and poems that celebrated courage and perpetuated a sense of indignation.
		3 The Peterloo Massacre is better remembered for its association with the movement for manhood suffrage, but leading middle-class reformers saw it differently.

		When news of the massacre reached Melbourne the population divided sharply: for and against the diggers.
		In 1861 the Eureka flag flew at Young, in NSW, over a massacre of Chinese by European diggers on the Lambing Flat goldfield.
		Seizing on a handy scapegoat, the colonial governments passed laws limiting the immigration of Chinese and, in time, the Eureka flag became a symbol of the White Australia policy, a device that has proved useful ever since to distract working people from the real causes of their misery.

		Of course, neither of these men is responsible for racist violence, and John Howard's statement today that "Australia hasn't suddenly become a racist country" is risible (see pix).
		Today, December 12, happens to be the anniversary of anti-Chinese riots that broke out in Australia in 1860, leading to the dreadful Lambing Flat Massacre of 1861.
		Then, in the early 1890s, John Norton (a prominent publisher and long-serving Member of Parliament) and the Anti-Chinese League helped organise a march of tens of thousands (sources differ, perhaps 50,000) of Australians through the streets of Sydney with the purpose of kicking Asians out of Australia.
