British Settlers Guilty of Genocide Against Indigenous Australians
VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA, JUL 2 – The Yoorrook Justice Commission documented a 75% decline in Victoria's Indigenous population due to 19th-century colonial violence and systemic discrimination, urging reparations and reforms.
- The Yoorrook Justice Commission presented its final report on Tuesday, concluding British colonists committed genocide against Indigenous Victorians since 1834.
- This conclusion followed four years of inquiry and over 1,300 submissions exposing systemic injustices and lasting impacts of colonisation.
- The report documented massacres, child removals, cultural erasure, and economic exclusion of nearly $290 billion in extracted gold with no benefit to Aboriginal people.
- Aboriginal health leader Jill Gallagher called the genocide finding “indisputable,” while Senator Lidia Thorpe said, “We're left to be the poorest people in our own country.”
- Victoria’s government is carefully considering over 100 recommendations, including treaty negotiations and redress, and urges all Victorians to engage with this history.
