  1. Rob, your comment follows mythological nonsense. The evidence shows that the lies were told by the Kelly's and not the police. You claim rape? Let's see some evidence to support your statement? You are well off track with that comment.

  2. David Byrne Stupid uninformed comment. 82% of the police in Victoria were IRISH. Ned Kelly was a violent, vicious, stand-over-thug. A murderer of three IRISH police. A bank robber, a prolific thief who stole from poor settlers, including IRISH settlers. He was dealt with by the police in an appropriate manner, as the Royal Commission found. Your comment is 100% WRONG relating to the polcie dealing with Kelly.

  3.  @iamhis4749  There is a HUGE monument in the centre of Mansfield erected by the grateful people of Mansfield and surrounding areas in memory of the three police officers who Ned Kelly murdered. No one who murders, robs banks, takes hostages and puts them in harms way, thieves from poor settlers, often taking their only horse and effectively sending them bankrupt, then standing over them threatening more harm if they dared to report the theft to police, qualifies as a legend. At the time of his demise, the population were glad to see the end of his criminal reign. It is only in recent times that Kelly fans have written the rubbish that proliferates now glorifying a very serious criminal, and you have been sucked in big time.

  4. Mark, you got that right.

  5. Mark Williams Then perhaps you can provide some evidence to support your statement.

  6. Hegemon1984 Victoria was a colony settled by free people. The only convicts in Victoria came into the colony via Van Diemen's Land or NSW.

  7.  @bradleymaxey2471  Well bradley, if you claim that, let's see some evidence.

  8.  @bradleymaxey2471  So the locals just follow the mythological nonsense do they? Here is what the Royal Commission of 1881 said about that nonsense. "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." Now I suggest that next time you are talking to people where you live, you can correct them and expose the truth.

  9.  @bradleymaxey2471  Well bradley, at least around me you get the truth spoken, not the mythological nonsense that proliferates that you probably follow.

  10.  lefthook southpaw  He was Australian. He was born in Victoria and always considered himself Australian.

  11.  @gordonfreeman3450  Then Gordon why did most of the people who took up land in the Greta area make a go of it? They were all poor immigrants but almost all were good decent honest hard working Christian people who made a go of it.

  12.  @H0901-l4u  Ned Kelly did not want social justice. He just wanted the police to leave him alone, so he could carry on his stock stealing business without police interference.

  13. David The Wiki pages have been taken over by Kelly fans, and most of the information written there is a load of fictitious rubbish.

  14. Scrap to signify that you belonged to the Greta Mob.

  15.  @shannondixon9031  Your comment is made up nonsense. Most of the Victoria police were of Irish heritage and many had served in Ireland before immigrating as free men. Very few former convicts ever became police in Victoria. By the way the Royal Commission found that the police acted properly in relation to the criminal family the Kelly's. Most of the police were well respected in the townships as they kept the people safe from for Kelly scourge. If you say I am wrong - let's see some evidence.

  16.  @shannondixon9031  Still waiting to see your evidence that the police were corrupt. You won't come back and you know why? Because there is no evidence anywhere that the police acted improperly towards the Kelly's.

  17.  @shannondixon9031  You guessed that right. Dee is a Kelly expert, and would leave anyone on this page for dead with facts.

  18.  @alonsocushing2263  Scarto is just one of his many names. He is a Kelly nut case through and through, and NEVER provides any evidence to support his false views. He is brick thick, vicious with his personal attacks on those that present truth, and would prefer to settle a matter with his fists. Illiterate and cannot put together a sentence to save himself. I don't waste my time talking to this lunatic.

  19. Hugh I think you mean an over rated criminal

  20. Jason Johinke It tells us that he had integrity and that he was intent on stopping a massacre of huge proportions that Ned Kelly intended to commit. Your understanding of this vicious criminal is sadly lacking.

  21. Awesome, Australian history especially in the gold rush days in the mid 1800's is just as exciting as it was in the US, and in many cases much better.

  22. Cold Killer Hero's do not murder, hold up banks, take hostages, and thieve from poor people. He was a stand over thug and a liar. He was just a serious criminal, and certainly not a hero.

  23.  @DonnieTheGent1  Are you not aware that up until 1945 the only people here were from the UK. Very few were from other countries until the 1960's when the Europeans started coming as a result of the mess that Europe was in after WW2.

  24.  @FinbarCharlesBarton0  Melbourne is named after Lord Melbourne, who was PM of the UK at the time.

  29.  Jamie  Another rubbish comment.

  30.  Jamie  Nothing I am quoting comes from the Internet. My knowledge comes from historical records and from books written by professional historians with PhD's who have sought out and found the facts. What you are claiming is mythological nonsense without a word of truth of facts in anything you have stated. You claim the police harassed the Kelly's. Well the Royal Commission looked into that and here is what is recorded as their findings. "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." Now Jamie, maybe you should stop reading rubbish and try reading factual information that is readily available, and stop making claims that have no basis in fact at all.

  31.  @redned7771  Books written following well researched facts all agree. It is only the books written by Kelly fans that make up stories that laud a very serious criminal that confuses the issue.

  32. Kimvoslice Ned Kelly NEVER mentioned a republic. It is just another made up Kelly myth. Where are you getting this nonsense from?

  33. Colonial Gal, you are almost certainly right with your comment. Jack Lloyd got the money, but Ned was the Black Snake.

  34.  @allisond4737  He was convicted of receiving a stolen horse. He knew it was stolen as he told at least 2 people who gave evidence against him. He was rightly convicted.

  35. Terry There is not one shred of evidence anywhere that Ned Kelly or his family were subject to anything other than proper treatment by the police. The Royal Commission found the police acted properly regarding the criminal Kelly's.

  37. Simon so where did you get the idea that the police were untrustworthy in the 1870's? The vast majority were well respected in their communities as they kept them safe from the Kelly scourge.
