From the Paper:

"Like many other nations, Australia was colonized by white settlers, who forcibly removed Aboriginal people from the lands they inhabited for centuries. In Australia, colonization brought the slaughter of millions of Aboriginal people. According to a book entitled, Race, Colour and Identity In Australia and New Zealand, the remnants of colonization have brought about many years of racial hostilities and tension in Australia. The book asserts that on the postcolonial era many have conceded that there is a need for reconciliation I Australia. The book asserts that such reconciliation involves "coming to terms with a history and the continuing legacy of oppression, dispossession, discrimination, forced assimilation, of attempted genocide (Docker & Fischer)."
