Australia - although we were British subjects then - HAS done this. And all of us colonisers / settlers / immigrants who live here continue to benefit from the genocide perpetrated against the custodians of this country. Sovereignty was never ceded.
Our shameful denial of this history is exposed when the leader of a state that is actively perpetrating genocide can - correctly - point to Australia like this.
What will we teach our kids? Do we value the land we share & our common humanity - in this country & any other - or is this a team sport? White supremacist colonial plunder has been the business model for far too long. (‘But the profits 😱!!’ ‘But the cost 💔.’)
It’s our choice.
