Could this be the same person who is preaching at Australia about human rights? Surely there can't be two men named 'Reason Wafawarova'?

How could a 'human rights violator' be living in Australia? Looks like those in charge of background checks have fallen asleep on the job yet again -

Notorious director of Youth Militia studying in Australia
http://www.swradioafrica.com/news140507/ozguy...

"It has been discovered that a former director of ZANU PF Youth Militia has settled in Australia where he is studying. The name Reason Wafawarova brings back terrible memories to many whose lives he brutally touched. He was involved in the training of ZANU PF youth and directing gruesome programmes of torture. He is regarded as a serial human rights violator who has committed heinous crimes against the people."

Oh go away. Blacks did not:

*invent computers
*put men on the moon
*invent lightbulbs
*invent heart surgery

or any of the bulls*it you claim. All your claims have been discredited, the real dates and patent numbers were recorded at the time and have been published ad nauseum.

"ALL THOSE WHITE PEOPLE BUT U CANT INVENT A SINGLE THING WHY DINT AUSTRALIA INVENT THE LIGHT BULB'

Because we were too busy inventing these:

1916 X-ray crystallography Nobel Prize for pioneering work in examining crystal structures by William and Laurence Bragg.

1917 Aspro – aspirin-based pain reliever developed in Melbourne by George Nicholas. By 1940 it had become the world's most widely used headache and pain treatment.

1926 – Electronic pacemaker developed at Crown Street Hospital, Sydney

1930s – Physiotherapy - Sister Elizabeth Kenny developed new method of treatment for polio, now known as physiotherapy.

1930s - Nuclear Fusion - Mark Oliphant worked on the artificial disintegration of the atomic nucleus and positive ions, and designed complex particle accelerators. He discovered helium 3 and tritium, and also discovered that heavy hydrogen nuclei could be made to react with each other. This fusion reaction formed the basis of a hydrogen bomb.

1944 Antibiotic penicillin- produced by Howard Florey although Fleming won the Nobel Prize

1952 Atomic absorption spectrophotometer, a complex analytical instrument incorporating micro-computer electronics and precision optics and mechanics, used in chemical analysis to determine low concentrations of metals in a wide variety of substances. First developed by Sir Alan Walsh of the CSIRO.

1953 Solar hot water - developed by R N Morse at the CSIRO

1953 The Mills Cross - a radiotelescope design consisting of two long ground antennas either in the form of a cross or a T shape was adopted world wide. Invented by B. Y. Mills at the CSIRO
1957 Flame ionisation detector, one of the most accurate instruments ever developed for the detection of emissions. Invented by Ian McWilliam, the instrument, which can measure one part in 10 million, has been used in chemical analysis in the petrochemical industry, medical and biochemical research, and in the monitoring of the environment.

1958 Black box flight recorder - The 'black box' voice and instrument data recorder invented by Dr David Warren in Melbourne.

1960 Plastic spectacle lenses - The world's first plastic spectacle lenses, 60 per cent lighter than glass lenses, were designed by Scientific Optical Laboratories.

1961 Ultrasound - David Robinson and George Kossoff's work at the Australian Department of Health, resulted in the first commercially practical water path ultrasonic scanner in 1961.
1965 Inflatable escape slide - The inflatable aircraft escape slide which doubles as a raft was invented by Jack Grant of Qantas.

1970 Variable rack and pinion steering - The variable ratio rack and pinion steering in motor vehicles was invented by Australian engineer, Arthur Bishop.

1972 Orbital internal combustion engine - The orbital combustion process engine was invented by engineer Ralph Sarich. The engine uses a single triangular-shaped piston to create five combustion chambers as it orbits inside a single cylinder. It is 40 per cent lighter, 60 per cent smaller and 35 per cent more efficient than standard car engines. Today, it is used in two-stroke engines, boat engines, motorbikes, lawn mowers and some small cars.

1972- Instream analysis - To speed-up analysis of metals during the recovery process, which used to take up to 24 hours, Amdel Limited developed an on-the-spot analysis equipment called the In-Stream Analysis System, for the processing of copper, zinc, lead and platinum - and the washing of coal. This computerised system allowed continuous analysis of key metals and meant greater productivity for the mineral industry worldwide.

CONT:
1975 Synroc - a synthetic rock designed to 'safely' store high level nuclear waste was invented by Ted Ringwood.

1978 Plastic injection moulding software -Engineers at Moldflow Pty Ltd revolutionised the plastic injection process with a new computer aided engineering software, that simulated the injection moulding process and offered a design strategy to evaluate, refine and optimise successive simulations.

1979 Bionic ear - The cochlear implant was invented by Professor Graeme Clark of the University of Melbourne.

1984 Frozen embryo baby- The world's first frozen embryo baby was born in Melbourne on 28th March

1984 Baby Safety Capsule

1986 Gene shears - The discovery of gene shears was made by CSIRO scientists, Wayne Gerlach and Jim Haseloff.

1992 Multi-focal contact lens- The world's first multi-focal contact lens was invented by optical research scientist, Stephen Newman in Queensland.

1992 Supersonic combustion - The University of Queensland demonstrated the world's first supersonic combustion in an atmospheric flight test at Woomera on July 30, 2002. The craft reached speeds of more than Mach 8, or 8 times the speed of sound.

1993 Scramjet - The University of Queensland reported for the first time the development of a scramjet that achieved more thrust than drag.
1993 Underwater pc - The world's first underwater computer with a five-button hand-held keypad was developed by Bruce Macdonald at the Australian Institute of Marine Science.

CONT:

1995 EXELGRAM - The world's most sophisticated optical anti-counterfeiting technology was developed by the CSIRO.

1995 - Jindalee Radar System - The United States of America spent $11 billion developing an aeroplane that could not be detected by radar. Scientists at the CSIRO then concluded that if the plane could not be detected, perhaps the turbulance it makes passing through air could be.$1.5 million later, the Jindalee Radar system had transformed the stealth bomber into nothing more than an unusual looking aircraft.

1996 – Relenza, worlds first anti-flu drug developed in Victoria

2002 spray-on skin or burns victims invented by Australian doctor Fiona Wood.

2007 Hyshot Scramjet Engine - a very high speed air-breathing jet engine currently in the testing stage developed by a team from the University of Queensland led by Professor Allan Paull.

And Australian surgeon has just performed a revolutionary form of hip replacement.

Hip new joint operation

So if you neeed microsurgery, treatment for painful burns, or a bionic ear, thank an Aussie.

Now maybe you will take the blackinventions nonsense somewhere else, this forum is about human rights, not fantasies.

What has this to do with Australia,s human rights record. I mean thats what the above artcle is all about. INVENTING STUFF does not licence Australia to go rough shod over other people, does it?

"What has this to do with Australia,s human rights record."

Absolutely nothing. He posts this black inventions nonsense on every forum, we are trying to shame him by using commonsense and historical fact, but so far it isn't working.

He just calls us 'whitedevils', LOL.

If i recall correctly Australia was instrumental at the time of adopting human rights through the UN, with an Australian as secretary general.

Australia is a strong society, and an advocate for human rights.

Exactly the point of the essay. They are very enthusiastic about human rights at international level but quite reluctant to adopt the same measures at home.

The fact is, at the end of the day WE ARE ALL homo sapien sapiens. like it or lump it, there are no real genetic races. just skin, hair, eye variations. All of you are making a big fuss over geographic nonsese, "I live here, other people who live here have done this" please. Lets help OTHER people in our species for once. Christ. Human rights come first.

And those who preach most that others should observe human right MUST start leading by example or shut up about human rights like China does.
