      @@tinyGrim1 ​ @TheBox&TheRarebit Yeah, it's a personal preference. Alternatively, sometimes I enjoy other presenters of various shows who are very calm, which can be relaxing and it's just a different type of energy. I can understand why Tony's style might not be everyone's cup of tea, even though I personally enjoy his playfulness, excitement, and wild imagination. Different presenter's approaches and personalities provide value in different ways.

      Maybe... because in history collonials and convicts were ordered to "cull" most of indigenous tasmania's population, resulting in near genocide of a people's. Have you heard of truganini? There are tasmanian aboriginals in Tasmania ❤ still here, however aspects of culture and language were lost, as a result of mass mur.der of full aboriginals.
      It's a horrific history, which might be why you can't say all of it in comments, maybe that's why it was deleted? For guidelines

    Were there no indigenous tasmanians to present the foods of thier ancestors? I think the grubs were cooked or smoked and not eaten alive. I'm native American and we ate grubs but they were steamed in a log in the fire. I guess I wish you had a native tasmanian person for that segment, I would have trusted it more. I watched the whole segment looking for an indigenous face, and I only saw one non-white face it was a black woman and a child. Maybe there aren't any indigenous folks left, that would be very sad.

      @Give.It.Everything.Youve.Got. 8 місяців тому

      Hey! Just to let you know, why you didn't see as you say "non-white" face its because most indigenous people in tasmania have lighter skin as all the indigenous Tasmanians living are all mixed. This is because of genocide, most people believe truganini was the last full blooded Tasmanian aboriginal, but I still think there's much of Tassie most people don't go to, so I like to hope there is a tribe hidden away.
      I hope this helped!

      ​@@judithsullivan9703 See where it says "Pairrebeener Elder" in the description? This means she IS Indigenous. Australian Indigenous belonging/identity is probably very different to what you are used to. Blood quantum, skin colour, none of that matters at all when it comes to being an Indigenous person. This is because of a very bad history with colonisation, genocide and something called the stolen generation where they basically wanted to wipe out Indigenous people. To be an Indigenous person there are are only 3 things that matter: That the person is descended from Indigenous people, that they identify as indigenous person, and that they are accepted by the community. This is defined by law. So, in summary, you can't tell if someone is Indigenous based on how they look. Its just how it works here.

      ⁠@@judithsullivan9703 There are surviving mobs, none that I know of who can still live as they did pre-colonisation though. It’s mostly in areas that Europeans didn’t want to live that people could continue living (depending on the area, it’s a big country so it’s more complex than that). That means that the more “liveable” and productive areas were taken over and walking routes between areas were cut off. Surviving groups became more isolated as trade etc between groups became restricted, and introduced plant and animal species took resources from native species. Overall it’s very complex, and it greatly varies across the country.
