From the first penal settlement at Moreton Bay in 1824, as white pastoralists moved into new parts of country, violence invariably followed. Tens of thousands of Aboriginals were killed on the Queensland frontier alone. Europeans were killed too, but in much smaller numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cover-up began from the start: the authorities in Sydney and Brisbane didn't want to know, the Native Police did their deadly work without hindrance, and the pastoralists had every reason to keep it to themselves. Even today, what we know about the killing times is swept aside again and again in favour of the pioneer myth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eConspiracy of Silence\u003c\/em\u003e is the first systematic account of frontier violence in Queensland. Following in the tracks of the pastoralists as they moved into new lands across the state in the 19th century, Timothy Bottoms identifies massacres, poisonings and other incidents, including many that no one has documented in print before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe explores the colonial mindset and explains how the brutal dispossession of Aboriginal landowners continued over decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46848774635756,"sku":"9781743313824","price":37.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/19039923482808.jpg?v=1758999635"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/timothy-bottoms.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
