No consensus achieved

Hello Dippiljemmy. I see that you have reverted my fully referenced and good faith edit without any justification or discussion. You have also not provided a reference which clearly states that an 'apparent lynching' occurred or that anyone was 'shot them down as summary punishment'. You have been given plenty of time to respond, but have failed to do so. Please discuss your objections and your reasoning for repeated violation of the core policies of Wikipedia. Thank-you

Failure to discuss

Hello Dippiljemmy,

Lets discuss your latest reversion.

The claim is that

The late 1840s was a time of severe conflict between the local Aboriginal people and the British squatters along the Macintyre River ↗ in the northern-most part of the Gwydir District. Bligh and his troopers attempted to control the situation by shooting and apprehending Aboriginal people, and also by arresting settlers accused of massacring native women and children. He stationed a garrison of troopers at Callandoon ↗ on the river, but a decisive result wasn't achieved until 1849 when Frederick Walker ↗ commanding a large detachment of Native Police ↗ eliminated Aboriginal resistance in the region.

But the references says

"Mr. Commissioner Bligh and party lately visited the McIntyre in pursuit of the blacks who murdered Mr. Yeomans's man, but did not succeed in capturing them. Mr. Bligh, it is said, wounded one of them. It
appears that the savage was armed with á large knife, which he kept concealed under some rude clothing that covered him, and he appears to be a desperate villain. A constable and three ticket-of-leave men are now stationed at Mr. Morris's station, on the McIntyre, and will re-main there, I believe, until the black police be sent up. It is a pity that this was not long since done, as the settlers there are almost ruined by the aboriginal marauders continually driving the cattle from the runs. It is hoped the plans now adopted and in progress will ultimately quieten the district."

The reference DOES NOT support the claim. This is just one of the many examples where the text is not written from the reference. Your claim of wiki-hounding is also not supported by any evidence.

Please discuss how the reference supports the text.

Native police

I have been reading the thesis by Marie Fels available through https://hdl.handle.net/11343/35589

I appreciate it is difficult to summarise a thesis in a few sentences but I am not sure I agree with the statements at Australian_native_police#Duties ↗ which I think were from your edits.

I do not think Fels has asserted that "main duty of the Native Police was to deploy to areas around the Port Phillip region where Aboriginal resistance to European colonisation could not be suppressed by armed settlers." And I cannot find any reference to the idea "Winter was chosen as the period of active duty, because the Aboriginal people they targeted were more sedentary in the colder periods and therefore much easier to find."

I may be wrong and perhaps missed the bit about winter.

I have started a discussion at Talk:Australian_native_police#Duties_of_Victorian_Native_police ↗

:@Matilda Hi Matilda, I probably just put the Fels reference instead of Cannon or Clark, I'll try and fix this in the coming weeks. thanks Dippiljemmy (talk) 06:21, 16 April 2026 (UTC)
