the same governor also encouraged killings (in deed if not in word) through a bounty system and martial law targeting indigenous people in settled areas. this is somehow less extreme than the genocide the local papers called for at the time. The government twice undertook ethnic cleansing campaigns. The first one was a large sweep of settled areas called the Black Line where 2000+ colonials tried to force black tribes onto an isolated peninsula. It basically failed because rugged terrain and poor conditions created large gaps in the line. after another decade or so of smaller scale attacks, a white saviour type convinced nearly all of the remaining tribes to be shipped to even smaller backwater islands. at least some were processed through former site of the most notoriously hellish convict prison which killed scores. when they got to the miserable destination many died from disease. kill whitey

whether the killing of native Tasmanians amounted to genocide became a cause célèbre in our version of the 00s culture wars. a line pushed by the leading reactionary participant is that “we don’t know what happened to them; they could have been taken by aliens.”
