Is King Charles responsible for the wrongs of the past? Indigenous folk are having their say

ABC  

King Charles III's first visit to Australia as the head of state has sparked mixed opinions from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people impacted by British colonisation. "The colonisation of Australia happened in the name of the king, I think it was George III at that stage, and continued with every subsequent monarch," he said. Abe met Charles again when he visited Australia later that year and thought he had a good grasp on "people and their cultures". "There's a lot of promises that the government made before the last election to First Nations people that have now been abandoned," Ms Baldwin-Roberts said.
