    Typical, a church wanting the government to step in and pay for their crimes. Raid their coffers and sell the land they hold to fund the locating, repatriation and re-burial of the remains.

    Not that the Australian government was innocent in this with the White Australia policy.

      They were using the church to do the job they didn’t want to be seen doing.

      They created the policies that allowed this to happen.

      They were actively driving this shit at arms length to allow deniability.
