As an Indigenous person i.e. one who was born in AUSTRALIA of Australian persons I most strongly object to:
“Describing the arrival of Europeans* as a ‘settlement’ is a view of Australian history from the perspective of England rather than Australia,” the information pack sent to staff states. “Instead of settlement, try ‘colonisation’, ‘occupation’ or ‘invasion’.”
If `persons of nondescript personage' wish to go the`Invasion' route then our ancestors won!
To the victors go the spoils.
Get over it!

We are either a country of many divided
or
A Nation of One United.

These people need to remove their heads from their fundamental orifices as it is clear they are not clever enough to realise where they are looking, contrary to their beliefs, the sun does not shine there.
