  1. Nick Randon There is plenty of proof that it was made up by a journalist to embellish his story.

  2. Stephen. What a pity it's all fiction.

  3.  @fated4glory  Yes, nothing presented here is true.

  4. adamwally That is true. However, the reality was that the police acted with integrity regarding the extensive criminality of Ned Kelly, as the Royal Commission found. Had the film shown the facts, it would have not been banned. Unfortunately, Kelly fans have degraded the police in that era, when most of them were good decent family men who worked hard to keep their communities safe from the Kelly menace.

  5. Blake Pullen your comment is nonsense. Ned Kelly dictated his Jerilderie letter to Joe Byrne before he held up the bank in Jerilderie. His hostages did not know he had written a letter and most of those hostages were petrified and in fear of their lives as they knew that Kelly and his gang had recently murdered 3 police at Stringybark Creek. Ned Kelly was a murderer, who held up banks, took hostages and threatened them with death. He robbed poor settlers of their only horse effectively sending them bankrupt, then he stood over them and threatened them with more harm if they reported the theft to police. He was a prolific liar and was loathed by the majority of the population in NE Victoria. If you consider a man if this ilk a hero, you need to take a good hard look at yourself.

  6. donnie darko The police that were in the North East of Victoria during Kelly's reign of terror were well respected as they kept the Kelly scourge at bay.

  7.  @Ihavebeenwatchingyou  Not all police were above board, but the Royal Commission into Victoria police found that the local police in dealing with the Kelly's criminality acted with integrity. Many of the police who have been vilified by Kelly fans, e.g. Constable Fitzpatrick and Sgt Steele acted properly as the evidence shows.

  8. 2011 Matz, quite correct and Kelly shot Kennedy with a shotgun to the chest, after learning that he had 5 young children and his wife was pregnant. Some hero?

  10. fanele mabaso He was just a criminal. There is no evidence that he was wronged by authorities.

  11. Marius Tan NO. Sympathisers numbered about 250 in a population of 14,500. Some 2.5%. The police in that era WERE protecting their communities from the thieving menace that Ned Kelly and his Greta Mob thugs were.

  12. Geoffrey Wallace, Ned Kelly is no hero. He was just a serious criminal who got his just desserts.

  13.  @geoffreywallace132  Your comments reflect the myths that abound claiming that Kelly was treated badly by the police and government. Here are the facts. There is not one shred of evidence anywhere that the Kelly's were set up or badly treated by police. The Royal Commission found the following. "It may also be mentioned that the charge of persecution of the family by the members of the police force has been frequently urged in extenuation of the crimes of the outlaws; but, after careful examination, your Commissioners have arrived at the conclusion that the police, in their dealings with the Kelly's and their relations, were simply desirous of discharging their duty conscientiously; and that no evidence has been adduced to support the allegation that either the outlaws or their friends were subjected to persecution or unnecessary annoyance at the hands of the police." The police rightly stood up to the Kelly's and protected their towns from the scourge that he and his Greta Mob were. Kelly was a serious criminal through and through. Let's see your evidence that Kelly was 'set up'? Do you not know that most of the settlers who were granted land in that area made a go of it and progressed with their lives. My comments come from professional researches with PhD's on the subject. Where does your mythological nonsense come from?

  14.  @geoffreywallace132  The information I have provided is from a professional historian who wrote his PhD thesis on people living in the area at the time of the Kelly scourge. His information is very in depth and no one I know has anywhere near his knowledge on the Kelly era. There was plenty of opportunity if you wanted to take that opportunity. The grant of land to settlers was well received and more than 80% of the settlers made a go of it, even after coping with droughts, bushfires and the Kelly scourge. Why didn't the Kelly's do the same? It was easier to make a living as a thief for Mr Ned Kelly.

  16.  @fruittree1670  WHY? The fiction lies and myths that claim Ned Kelly was some sort of hero when he was a vicious criminal needs to be exposed. Especially to the children of this great nation. They need to be told the truth.
    1
  17.  @fruittree1670  Plenty claim that Ned Kelly was a hero. Are you blind? He was so cool that he got his brother, Steve Hart and Joe Byrne killed, and he got hanged. Yeah, that's really cool. Ned Kelly was a very serious murdering criminal and should be seen as such.

  18.  @tyronemalone4158  Patriotic to have a Ned Kelly tattoo? Dumb comment. So you worship a murderer, a stand-over-thug, bank robber, thief and hostage taker. How smart are you? Brick thick more like it.

  19.  @mista2621  As I said previously. You must be pretty dumb to have a tattoo of a murderer.

  20.  @subaru_wrx_impreza_5552  The Kelly story is finally being told in a truthful way. Kelly was a vicious stand-over-thug, murderer, hostage taker, thief and liar. He got his just desserts in the end.

  21. climax050 Ned Kelly is NOT a national hero in Australia. He was just a very serious criminal.

  22.  @climax050  Only bogans and the unintelligent would consider a serious criminal a hero.

  23.  @climax050  REALLY. You have a very lop sided of history if you think most people remember him as a hero. He was just a serious criminal who murdered, robbed banks, took hostages, stole horses from poor settlers then stood over his victims threatening more damage if they reported the theft to the police, and he was a prolific liar. No sensible intelligent person would ever consider a man of this ilk a hero.

  28. ELITE GAMER 249 Your English is woeful and by the way police had nothing to do with Kelly's body after he was executed for his crimes.

  29.  @elitegamer2498  "What the police done to the bones", is appalling English. It's not about understanding what you have written, it's about dreadful English that reflects on your education. I re-iterate the Police had nothing to do with Ned Kelly after he was convicted and held in gaol. It was up to the gaol authorities to carry out the hanging and it was also up to them to dispose of his remains. Nothing to do with police at all.

  30.  @elitegamer2498  It reflects badly on your education my friend. Maybe do some work on getting it right. By the way your last comment says "since I’m your" in long hand "since I am your." That does not make sense.

  31. Aussie Truck Photos. WRONG. Two of the first premiers in Victoria were Irish Catholics. The Royal Commission found that the police acted with integrity regarding the criminality of the Kelly's. Your comment is without foundation at all.

  32.  @pzuliomaccavellion9711  Your first comment is nonsense. Only the uneducated, and low intelligentsia 'love' Ned Kelly. He was a murderer. You are delusional if you think all Australians 'love' Ned Kelly.

  33. Khmet He had one drink of brandy and lemonade on route. That's right - one drink. I should add that Constable Fitzpatrick did not make a pass at Kate Kelly. She made up that story some 10 months after the event.

  34. blodmann 262 Ned Kelly was just a serious criminal. He was a murderer, he robbed banks, took hostages, was a stand over thug and a liar. If you think a person like that is a hero, take a good long hard look at yourself.

  35. Pete, if it was true maybe yes, but it's full of fictitious nonsense.

  36. Blackjack55 Your comment is without foundation. If you claim the police were corrupt and abusive, let's see some evidence. Guess what, there is none as most police were well respected and kept their towns safe from the Kelly scourge. Why do you keep promoting such mythological rubbish. Get a life.

  37. done dane What a load of rubbish. 82% of the police in Victoria were Irish. Your comment is ridiculous.

  38.  @donedane2269  Dreadful English sport. A jury found Ned Kelly guilty of murder. The only option for a judge was to pass the death sentence. Ned Kelly always considered himself to be Australian.

  41. Charlot Risch. Sadly this video promotes a great deal of mythological nonsense that is simply made up rubbish. It is a disgrace and is not factual at all.

  42.  @charlotrisch5138  The author of the book that led to that film stated that the book was made up fiction. It certainly did not represent in any way the true story.

  43. Jason the RC into Victoria police found that the police acted properly regarding Kelly's criminality. If you claim otherwise, show us some evidence? By the way, in the entire RC transcripts the word 'corrupt' does not appear in the entire document.

  44. Graham Watts. Ned was no revolutionary. He grew up in a criminal family, and he was a very serious criminal. So who were the corrupt land-owners Graham? At the time of the Kelly outbreak there were no squatters left in the Greta area. You are obviously not aware that the government enacted the Lands Act to provide land to poor settlers on excellent terms, throughout North East Victoria. So if you say there were corrupt land-owners and government power brokers, what are you referring too? I would suggest you are just repeating myths that have no basis in fact at all.

  45.  @jadethornton7975  If you claim the police were very very corrupt, let's see some evidence to back up your comment? Can you explain to us all then how come the Royal Commissioners who were ALL anti-police found that the police acted appropriately in their dealings with Ned Kelly? I will be most interested to hear your explanation.

  46.  @jadethornton7975  Did you answer the question? NO. Your understanding of Ned Kelly's extensive criminality is woeful.
