This story - which I really didn’t pay enough attention to until I visited Hobart - deserves a much wider audience. The shorthand of “Tasmanian extinction” is often a ‘fact’ used by people who are genuinely trying to write or acknowledge a racist history, yet could, itself, be a racist tool.
'The lie that they were extinct is largely blamed on outdated views about ethnic identity. But others say it was also a strategic decision - to deny Tasmanian Aboriginal people rights, and to snuff out their culture.'
The state is grappling with the legacy of a surgeon who allegedly mutilated an Aboriginal man's remains.

Vanuatu, Fiji and Samoa want international criminal court to class environmental destruction as crime alongside genocide
