The names of the murderers should be expunged from public places and public apologies should be installed in the places where these names were adopted.
Batman is one, which is the name of a Federal electorate.
https://www.quora.com/How-long-ago-was-it-legal-for-white-Australians-to-kill-Ab... Quote:... This may go some way to explaining why, within a few years of the initial settlement, an all-out war was raging between the colony and the Tasmanian Aboriginal peoples.
Despite numerous instructions from Britain to cease these actions, the colonial government declared martial law and placed a bounty of ₤5 for every Aboriginal adult and ₤2 for every child captured.
Lip service was paid to treating the Aboriginals “humanely” - often in the same paragraph as a “shoot on sight” order. For example, should someone seeking to capture Aboriginals for the bounty be “forced” to kill some of them, this was acceptable.
Proclamations were made giving assurances to the Aboriginals that they were equal under the law, but the reality was pretty obvious.
For example, John Batman, a resident of the colony at the time, led a raid against a group of 60–70 men, women and children. This raid was made on behalf of the colonial government.
They killed 15 and captured 2 wounded men, a woman and her 2 year old son.
Batman then wrote that he:
"...found it impossible that the two former [the men] could walk, and after trying them by every means in my power, for some time, found I could not get them on I was obliged to shoot them."
He returned with the other two. He handed the woman over to the authorities but kept the boy and another from a different incident because they were “as much his property as his farm”. ...
It is completely incorrect and misleading to generalize and accuse whites of genocide against Aboriginal people and to say "white killers" instead of "Anglo-Saxon killers".
Why do you act cowardly hesitant to tell the truth by making political correctness out of lies?
So the correct title of this topic would be:
Anglo (Anglo-Saxon) murderers of Aborigines honored in AustraliaThe genocide against the Aborigines was systematically committed by the Anglo-Saxon population, and you cannot blame the French, Germans, Russians, Greeks, Italians, etc. for this terrible crime.
Despite all the undeniable historical facts, there is a trend of revisionist historical generalization in the Australian media, and even in academic circles where "Europeans" and "whites" are responsible for this crime, not to mention the British colonial empire and especially the Anglo-Saxon population, the greatest protagonists and defenders of the mass murder of Aboriginal people in Australia.
