Annaliese van Diemen
This is the tweet from left-wing activist, Annaliese van Diemen that created so much controversy.
“Sudden arrival of an invader from another land, decimating populations, creating terror. Forces the population to make enormous sacrifices & completely change how they live in order to survive. COVID-19 or Cook 1770?’’
What a moronic statement from a senior public servant – the Deputy Chief Medical Officer of Victoria, no less.
She was probably fast-tracked to a senior position to appease the shrill feminist lobby. These fast-tracks are often organised by male feminists.
She is out of her depth. Her juvenile (and historically inaccurate) tweet reveals her lack of maturity.
It also shines a light on the mindset of modern university graduates after years of indoctrination by Marxist professors.
Captain Cook was a famous navigator who charted the east coast of Australia. There was no settlement (or “invasion” depending upon your viewpoint) until 18 years later with the arrival of the first fleet under Captain Arthur Phillip.
She was right about one thing though.
The Aboriginals certainly did completely change how they live.

Let’s look at some other aspects of van Diemen’s rant.
Decimating populations – the Aboriginal population is the fastest-growing sector of Australia’s population – spurred on, no doubt, by all sorts of people claiming Aboriginality to get on the indigenous gravy train to claim special benefits available only to Aboriginals.
There are enormous sacrifices, but they are made by the long-suffering taxpayer. State and federal governments hand out over $26 billion dollars a year to Aboriginal groups.
