Genocide condemned on Tamil Remembrance Day

In Sydney, Barathan Vidhyapathy said more than 100,000 Tamils were killed and that those in charge of that massacre are now in government and have put the north-east of the country “under military occupation”. “This is why we protest today, mourning the dead and fighting like hell for the living.”
Kathirini, a Tamil refugee and survivor spoke about the day. “I was a child, and two relatives were sitting in my front garden. A shell blasted our yard and we lost a family member instantly, the other went straight to hospital. People were blown up in front of our eyes.”
Bruce Haigh, a former diplomat, said the Australian government “didn’t want to report on the war against the Tamil people” and nor was it “interested in helping Tamil refugees, or any other refugees”, referring to Priya and Nades and their two daughters who are still locked up on Christmas Island.

Victoria's Deadly & Proud campaign remembers Indigenous victims of Warrigal Creek massacre in South Gippsland

Today, few Victorians know about this slaughter of as many as 150 people â a crime for which no one was arrested. There are no plaques at the now peaceful spot on a farm 40 kilometres south of Sale and 200 kilometres east of Melbourne.
But there are more than a dozen monuments in Gippsland to pastoralist Angus McMillan, who is widely believed to have led this and other massacres. Until 2018, a federal electorate was named after him.
Also in the early 1840s, at Tambo Crossing, north-east of Bairnsdale, Mr Thorpeâs great-great-great grandfather, William Thorpe, and another boy survived a massacre of about 70 Gunnai people (committed by perpetrators that Aboriginesâ âchief protectorâ George Augustus Robinson termed âChristiansâ) by hiding in a log.
