Invasion of New Zealand by Australians linked to British Forces.
I cannot find any reference to this "invasion" on either http://workmall.com/wfb2001/new_zealand/new_zealand_history_index.html or http://history-nz.org/ and considering that the third fleet of convicts had only just arrived in Australia at this time it is difficult to see that there would be many "Australians" who would be available for such exploits. --Bilby 18:45, 21 March 2007 (EDT)
- Note: This entry was made in response to an earlier version of the postings. My comments still hold good. Peter Ellis) Without seeing the entry where this is mentioned... New Zealand has not been invaded by Australia(ns). Period! Perhaps you (Ed Poor?) are meaning that British forces deployed to the British colonies on the continent of Australia were used to then go to form the British colony in what is now New Zealand. (Note: Australia, the nation, came into being on 1 January 1901.)Peter Ellis 22:57, 29 March 2007 (EDT)
- The original NZ invasion theory was put forward by Pacman, not Ed Poor!--Bilby 23:50, 29 March 2007 (EDT)

- Please don't misrepresent sources or make biased edits. This makes it seem as if your POV is supported by the article you cited, but a moment's skimming showed that you were cherry-picking the contents. Not even Wikipedia allows that. --Ed Poor 19:06, 26 March 2007 (EDT)
- Or am I being too harsh? Perhaps you had a reason to believe one side in the legal controversy and not the other. --Ed Poor 19:10, 26 March 2007 (EDT)
- Hicks deserves his own page, because: (1) he's the first considered under this system; (2) he's thus "high profile", internationally, as well as in his own country; (3) he's guilty (own admission in court, and to family as reported years ago). Put a link from the Gitmo page to his own. It still needs to be NPOV.Peter Ellis 01:17, 30 March 2007 (EDT)
No worries. It only takes a few seconds, I mostly nab formatting from other pages. It's great to see your content. Hannibal ad portas 20:32, 20 May 2007 (EDT)
Bilby identity unmasked?
Does "dmcl" come into this, somewhere??? :-) Peter Ellis 01:02, 30 March 2007 (EDT)
- Hmm, now I'm lost: NPOV (non point of view?) and now DMCL (a collection of Roman numerals?) I didn't intend it to be something that needed unmasking but at the same time I tend to like a certain amount of anonymity just because I feel more comfortable that way. If you have a burning desire to know who I am, let me know. --Bilby 06:05, 30 March 2007 (EDT)
- Thanks for Categorising me, Peter (I do mean that even though it sounds bureaucratic). Still waiting on the meaning of DMCL... --Bilby 06:31, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

Bilby unmasked
Yes I have found the real Bilby. A rather clever little marsupial with big ears and a twitchy nose. The head of the world chocolate Bilby empire. Hannibal ad portas 08:51, 21 May 2007 (EDT)
- yep, the ears give it away!--Bilby 10:15, 12 June 2007 (EDT)

Australia map
Hi. I love the map of Australia (
), but I'm wondering where you got it from. Would you please provide a source. --Ed Poor Talk 20:57, 18 August 2007 (EDT)
- I will try to track it down, it was a long, long time ago....--Bilby 18:20, 19 August 2007 (EDT)
