  1. Also known as, the current Australians ancestors. I hate the way aussies blame the British, compared to for example Germans owning upto their history.

  2. Urine is wet and Australia is dry, Britain isn’t going to cough up any subsidies for reconciliation

    Fucking hell, look at how Britain is handling Mauritius and the Chagos

  3. To all the people in this comment section who are saying that the British shouldn’t be blamed for this and that modern Australia should, or visa versa… guys, two things can be true. The nation that sent convicts and settlers to a new continent is responsible, and so is the nation that is now born from those actions. I don’t think most reasonable Australians deny the genocide that occurred. We are responsible for it. But at the same time, so is the United Kingdom, who set up these colonies. This isn’t politics, this is history.

  4. Raphael Lemkin was so disappointed in the final convention on genocide that the UN drafted, since it was so watered down. The European colonial powers, the US, and the USSR realized that their purges, forced displacements, massacres, kidnapping of children, and population control of undesirables would qualify as genocide under Lemkin’s original definition, especially Europe’s colonial history, so they watered it down so that they could call Germany’s actions genocide but not be accused of genocide themselves.

    I’m happy that we are progressing, even if it’s at glacial speed and with countries like Israel and China still being brazen enough to commit genocide in broad daylight.

  5. Are there reparations discussed?
    Also, interesting enough, while this comes out, Australia is supporting Israel in yet another genocide.
    How these countries close their eyes for some wealth 🤑

  6. Is that surprising? I’m told a slur for aborigines is “boongs” and it supposedly comes from the sound it makes from running one over in a pickup truck. I’ve never heard of **any** other ethnicity having a slur like that which is just a reference to killing them. I can’t imagine the utter contempt the colonists must have had for them.
