The Spin

Left narrative

This historic truth-telling process finally acknowledges what Aboriginal Victorians have always known: that systematic genocide was committed against their ancestors. The evidence is overwhelming: mass killings, forced child removals, cultural destruction decimated populations by 75% in just two decades. These aren't ancient wrongs but ongoing injustices that continue today through economic exclusion and systemic racism. It is time to face the truth with contrition and commitment to doing better.

Australian Broadcasting Corporation

Right narrative

Australia is not reckoning with the past so much as creating a cult of self-flagellation and perpetual victimhood to assuage the guilt of upper-class liberals. You will not find a single crime in the history of the British Empire that no other nation of sufficient size is not also guilty of. Ignoring the positives of colonialism and the reality of what was considered acceptable in those times serves no one except interest groups and impedes progress and a real understanding of that history.
