Last post by Thryleon -The Australian Government follows the definition set out in the International Convention to Suppress the Slave Trade and Slavery of 1926, that is 'the status or condition of a person over whom any or all of the powers attaching to the right of ownership are exercised'. Almost all nations follow the 1926 convention.
There are slavery-like offences, such as forced labour, debt bondage and human trafficking but none involve ownership and, therefore, aren’t slavery.
It’s fine to take an academic perspective and argue that indentured labour is slavery but, legally, it’s not.
So we can argue semantics, you are right, and I am wrong, we never participated in slavery despite the evidence showing otherwise. Is that it?

You could probably argue that there is "slavery" and there is "slavery-like", but I would have to agree.

Last post by LP -I'm not even talking about his role, he looks slower, less agile and struggled to bend over to pick up the ball.
But he might not look comfortable in his approach at the footy because he's being put in unfamiliar circumstances, making him hesitant.
In both our losses he's gone berserker in the last quarter and taken out one of his own, he hit the contest at speed with completely the wrong focus making him look awkward but not injured or lame.
