The #TolpuddleMartyrs were six agricultural labourers who tried to form a #union in Dorset, England, as their income was near starvation level. They were sentenced on #ThisDayInHistory in 1834 to transportation to an Australian #PenalColony, later returning due to mass protests.

Israeli ‘tip’ preceded Australian claim that Iran plotted bombings A new report suggests Israel played a key role in establishing the narrative that Iran was behind attacks on Jewish-focused establishments in Australia. The still unproven claim has since been used to...

Country we sent our convicts to populate gets fooled by Israeli intelligence. Not much intellectual advancement in all that time eh?

Just kidding. I love Aussies as much as anyone does.
But it's true we sent convicts there, guilty or not. See #TolpuddleMartyrs

The #Tasmania link to the #TolpuddleMartyrs is that #GeorgeLoveless was transported here in 1834 for making an unlawful oath, but it was really for forming a union to protest wage cuts.
Every Tasmanian need to know about our proud union history, and honour our Tolpuddle comrades. #convicthistory
