A macabre act of betrayal
WARNING: DISTURBING CONTENT. When George Augustus Robinson was employed as the Chief Protector of Tasmania’s Aboriginal people, he proclaimed he was there to ‘do good’ for the indigenous population. Instead, he took from the very people who had already had everything taken from them. Cassandra Pybus joins the show with more.
Note: This episode contains graphic descriptions relating to the deaths of indigenous people.
