why was ned kelly a hero?
In the time since his execution, Ned Kelly has been mythologised among some into a Robin Hood, a political revolutionary and a figure of Irish Catholic and working-class resistance to the establishment and British colonial ties.
It is claimed that Kelly’s bank robberies were to fund the push for a "Republic of the North-East of Victoria", and that the police found a declaration of the republic in his pocket when he was captured, which has led to him being seen as an icon by some in the Australian republicanism cause.
Ned Kelly’s story has many amazing elements. It can been seen as one of a poor boy of great skill, devoted to his family, wronged by the police and the legal system and – following a tragic series of events – executed at the age of 25.
Some feel it is a strongly Australian story with Kelly as the archetypal Australian challenging authority.
There are also broader questions raised by his life. Was he a freedom fighter? Was he attempting to spark an uprising? When do people have the right to resist the law?
Aussie’s like anyone who fights the "system"
