Henry Reynolds has demolished the apologetic arguments of conservative intellectuals, showing that the British colonization of Australia was a crime even by the standards of its time. Reynolds makes a powerful argument for recognizing Aboriginal sovereignty.

Yet it would appear that we’re drawing ever closer to a world in which 3D printers build our homes, in as little as three days. There have already been 3D-printed houses constructed in places such as Italy, the Netherlands and the United States, and industry experts say it’s only a matter of time before they become more mainstream.
Could 3D-printed homes solve the housing affordability issue?
Warlpiri man Kumanjayi Walker, 19, died after being shot three times by Rolfe as four officers attempted to arrest him in the remote Aboriginal community of Yuendumu in central Australia on 9 November 2019. Rolfe was charged with murder several days later. He received bail and appeared before the local court on Monday via video link from Canberra.
Below Andrew Bolt boosts himself failing to mention Rolfe shot Walker X3 while 4 police attempted to arrest him for breaking bail. " Judges send matters to trial if they conclude at a committal hearing that a reasonable person might find an accused guilty of a charge based on the evidence."
At last month’s committal hearing, the expert criminologist Dr Geoffrey Alpert gave evidence after viewing police body-worn camera footage from the shooting. Alpert believed the first shot Rolfe fired during a struggle with Walker was “reasonable” but two follow-up shots were “excessive, unreasonable and unnecessary”.

ZACHARY ROLFE: WAS COP CHARGED WITH BEING WHITE?
Constable Zachary Rolfe shot dead a man who'd stabbed him and his partner. Then the politics started,
with promises to Aboriginal protesters that "black lives matter". Rolfe was almost immediately charged with murder, and now hit with two more charges that have enraged fellow police.
From the start, it seemed Constable Zachary Rolfe was the victim of politics. Was he charged with murder because he was white?
Last Friday came more disturbing developments – two fresh charges – as Rolfe prepares to stand trial for allegedly murdering an Aboriginal criminal who’d just stabbed him and his partner.
Whether Rolfe is guilty will be up to the Darwin Supreme Court to decide next month, but how the case has been handled by police and politicians smells of the politics of Black Lives Matter.
On a Saturday in November, 2019, Constable Rolfe went to the volatile Aboriginal community of Yuendumu to arrest 19-year-old Kumanjayi Walker.
Walker had been in jail, charged with assaulting police and aggravated assault, and breached his suspended sentence by returning to Yuendumu, 300km northwest of Alice Springs.
On the Wednesday before the shooting, local police had tried to arrest Walker. He chased them away with an axe.
Andrew Bolt tends to mix the Law with Cultural myths and beliefs that whites can do little wrong morally. Consequently the Law in this case obviously has got it wrong. White culture is the right culture according to Bolt and for 200 years it has rightfully dominated and colonized indigenous Australia. The facts in this legal case bear no need of mention. Yet it was white police that collected and presented evidence which then assessed by the DPP brought the charges laid to trial. Forget the law cries Bolt the system has been influenced by racism and Black Racism to boot even though the process was conducted in the main proceduraly by white men.
As far as Bolt is concerned this single case represents an attack on white Australia by what institutional black legal system? None but by a cultural bleeding hearted left wing sympathy for blacks. Hardly as there is no such thing as a "black man's justice system only a white man's. A system on any other day Bolt generally declares is colorless fair and correct. No stolen children as far as Bolt's concerned. However not in this case why? Have all the white police who collected evidence been corrupted? Has the DPP been bought and influenced by some wealthy invisible black nation? Social research shows indigenous Australians are at the very bottom of Australian society on every social metric and have no wealth or power other than that gifted them. So, to declare some weird notion of a Black Power that has influenced the legal system flies in the face of all historic evidence.
Only a white racist like Andrew Bolt can come to the conclusion that the BLM movement in Australia has influenced, shifted and changed the systemic nature of our legal system and is now victimizing whitemen some statistically significant numbers. 400 Aboriginal deaths in custody is normal for Bolt no charges laid. That's as it should be. One cop charged and Bolt's world has come apart. History shows that the likelihood of Rolfe being found guilty is highly unlikely.
What is more likely is Andrew Bolt knowing this is taking up a cause for self-gandisement. The probability of the law finding Rolfe innocent is high and will boost Bolt's failing media presence. If wrong Bolt will do what he always does simply stop chasing the issue and fade to silence. What's more important and significant is that Bolt's blog for most of his recent posts thes past months has been little about anything other than Race. His obsession with Bruce Pascoe, Critical Race Theory and Replacement theory almost his sole focus.That the dominant culture of Australia is Western Christian and White as far as Bolt is concerned. He maybe right when it comes to the powerful and elite but they are only really representative of a minority of Australia's Culture, and not Bolt's false myth that they represent and are indicative of our multicultural majority.
