- Summary:
-
"All Colonial Governors appointed by British governments were under an obligation to the Crown to protect the lives of the First Australians, yet the result was massacres and dispossession. The Squatters’ Grab traces the failure of various governments and colonial administrators to discharge their obligations to Indigenous Australians; failure that gave rise to the ascendancy of the squatters and dispossession of the Aboriginal people."--Back cover
- Notes:
-
- "Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers are advised that this book contains names and voices of deceased persons. It also contains historical quotations that include references to Indigenous people, expressed in the language of the time, some of which convey a profound lack of respect. The book presents an analysis of this material, trusting that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers will not be offended by the inclusion of these quotations. It is the author's intention to inform readers about the early history of the colony, a history that has been withheld from generations of Australians, in the hope that these revelations will assist in the process of reconciliation".--Imprint
