The real reason it hapoened was because people like him dont really care. They see aboriginal people and culture as problems to be overcome. Lets be honest, the vast majority of Australians regard aboriginal people as "unfinished business"; the ones that got away from the genocides committed by their grandparents.

Thats the full story. 'We don't know what happened. It was our fault. We don't know, how we did it; but we're just the best party to make sure it will never happen again.'
