The paper looks into the history of Australia addressing the treatment of the original Aboriginal inhabitants by British settlers and arguing whether it could be considered as genocide. The issue is discussed in the context of the international United Nations Genocide Convention Bill signed by the Australian government in 1948 and ratified in 1951. The paper argues whether the provisions of the Bill have been implemented by the Australian federal law.
