It was more like a genocide. In fact, in many parts of Eastern and Southern Australia, it was a genocide.
>Our whole nation is locked into a kind of determined fluffy antebellum fantasy, where we didn't have a nation-founding war, but just a kind of sloppy de facto displacement of savages by imported middle-class suburbanites, regrettable certainly, but all too natural (so inevitable).

Sports & genocide are Australia's top 2 talents (Tasmania must rank among the world's most classically perfect examples of genocide). The exact form of the stuff-up varies per domain: genocide here, ecocide there (everywhere). But that humans stuff up everything they touch seems to be a universal. Crap species.
