Tell me about the Australian civil war /b/

Jokes aside, did it actually happen or is this just a meme?

It's true to the extent there was an attempt to cull emus with 3 guys and a machine gun and it was a colossal failure

>>3327862
The pic's a meme, but the Australian government did make several large-scale efforts to eradicate pest emus by military means. They were generally considered inefficent and wasteful.

The first one was when a large number of Irish convicts and prisoners (many of them POWS from the Irish Uprising of 1798) attempted to take over the colony.

The second one was where the guards overthrew a governor who got in the way of their corruption

You could count eureka stockade among those

They made one small scale effort, then they just gave bounties for each emu killed to the local farmers. It was actually relatively successful in the end.
