Instead, the English bomb distant nations to see how their nuclear weapons would work if they were used to bomb nearby nations. From 1952 to 1963 the English exploded nine above-ground bombs on at least 11 Aboriginal nations in Australia. Permission was not sought from Aboriginal peoples, nor were they warned. Radioactive contamination was widespread and entry into large contaminated areas is prohibited today.

In 1980 an Adelaide newspaper interviewed a Yankunytjatjara survivor of a 1953 English aboveground nuclear test. The witness told of hearing the explosion and then seeing the black mist sweep across their land. The people dug holes in the sand dunes for their children; then the old people covered the children with their bodies. Two days afterwards, "everyone was vomiting and had diarrhea and people were laid out everywhere. Next day people had very sore eyes, red with tears and I could not open my eyes. Some were partly blind and I lost the sight in my right eye...Five days after the black cloud came, the old people started dying"

Demonic Governments

Nukes sound even more hellish than you'd imagine. Black rain and weird lights, people dying when their skin or hair starts to fall off days later

It's like death stranding

Fucking hell... that makes what the US did to the Bikini Atollers seem like nothing by comparison.

Check out the show Dark Tourism on Netflix, the journalist goes there and it's really depressing to see all the birth defects and everything.

Sadly Australia/UK were happy to get human test subjects they could use to test after, rather than just wildlife I imagine.

Ask? More like 'Ahhh!' And the sound of dust in the wind -sssssk-

Remember, when conservatives talk about the greatness of western civilization, this is what they want to preserve and cherish.

There were no people during then yeah, but the US has certainly done similar to people both with and without nuclear bombs.

Well, the US nuked 2 cities with hundred of thousands of people, get on our level...

Not sure if this is the same event but I remember one guy said he shielded his face with his hand and he could see the bones like it was in a x-ray.

And just think that was just a A-Bomb.

I can't find anything in the Wiki article to suggest that the purpose of the tests was to determine its effects on Aboriginal people. The minor trials (1953-63) -- "Kitten", "Tim", "Rat", "Vixen" -- were to test neutron initiator design, weapon core compression by shockwaves, and safety in event of fire or a crash.

There's no mention of any examinations being carried out on Aboriginal people in the aftermath of the tests -- in fact it appears that the only tests that were carried out on living beings were by the AWTSC to study the concentrations of iodine-131 in the thyroids of sheep and cattle.

So, what exactly are the grounds for the accusation in the topic title that Aborigines were targets of the tests?
