Talk:Bushranger

message: Bushrangers are only in Australia because the woods as they would say in America in Australia they call it bush and rangers where bad people that either that got hanged or shot in prison and that is that why they call them bushrangers
"they are held in some esteem in some quarters, due to the harshness, pro-squatter outlook and anti-Catholicism of the colonial authorities whom they embarrassed and the romanticism of the lawlessness they represented."
Is this supposed to mean due to the harshness of the bush, the pro-squatter outlook of people who hold bushrangers in esteem, and that the colonial authorities were catholic (or anti-catholic)? --Nectarflowed 09:55, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: It's meaning the colonial authorities were harsh, supported squatters (menaing if you bought land you couldn't guarantee you'd get to keep it), and were anti-Catholic (and anti-Irish). I think. The only thing I'm sure of is about the anti-catholicism of (primarily British/royalist) authorities--ZayZayEM 12:09, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

:OK, so it's been selected. Anyone got any guidance for what this article needs to become? personally, I think it should not be dominated by a list, but I'm all for List of Bushrangers being created with a very brief summary of what a bushranger is at the top, and some pictures of some of them.Garrie 04:55, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the history section need some expansion, with a better picture provided of the historical context which is too vague for a reader unfamiliar with the subject.  Some more solid data regarding prevalence, laws, punishments etc would also be useful.  I think it is very important that there is more thorough analysis of the public attitude towards them, the sympathy and the romanticisation as this remains a part of australian culture to this day.  The current passage which deals with this has no citations and contains weasel words.  The entertainment section should include some further analysis of how this image has been sustained.  baby_ifritah 03:49, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Captain Starlight is best known as the fictional character, which included exploits of Harry Redford and others. There was a real bushranger Frank Pearson who may have called himself Captain Starlight and maybe that is who should be listed in the table. Kerry (talk) 03:54, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
