== Lutheranerverfolgung in Preußen?! ==

"die ersten deutschen Siedler waren Lutheraner aus den preußischen Ostgebieten, die auswanderten, da sie vom Preußenkönig Friedrich Wilhelm III. wegen ihrer Religion verfolgt wurden."

Diese Angabe müsste doch eigentlich Unsinn sein. Abgesehen von der generellen preußischen Toleranzpolitik in religiösen Angelegenheiten, die eine Verfolgung aus religiösen Gründen (insbesondere im bereits recht säkularen 19. Jahrhundert) unwahrscheinlich erscheinen lässt, war doch gerade das Luthertum die Hauptkonfession des preußischen Staates und die Konfession seiner Eliten. Ohne ein Experte auf dem Gebiet der deutschen Auswanderung nach Australien zu sein, könnte ich mir vorstellen, dass es sich bei den erwähnten auswanderungswilligen Protestanten aus den preußischen Ostgebieten möglicherweise um Mennoniten aus dem Bereich des Weichseldeltas handeln könnte, die aus religiöser Überzeugung keinen Wehrdienst leisten wollten.--[[Spezial:Beiträge/188.194.19.108|188.194.19.108]] 13:09, 27.

== Lemmaänderung ==

"Deutsch-Australier" wird weder in der gängigen Literatur verwendet noch ist er so im Duden gelistet. Bei google erfolgt Nennungen "Deutsch-Australier" lediglich mit einem Verweis auf die wp. In der großformatigen 192 starken Publikation zum 200sten Jahrestag Australiens mit den Grußworten der damaligen Botschafter aus Deutschland, Schweiz und Österreich wird dieser Begriff nicht verwendet. Ich schlage vor, das Lemma zu ändern entweder in "Deutsche in Australien" (siehe auch hier "Germans in Australia" http://germany.embassy.gov.au/belngerman/Ger_Aus.html) oder "Deutschstämmige in Australien".
