Australian genocide

Words can apparently have any meaning you want:
Aboriginal protesters have threatened to disrupt next year's Commonwealth Games in Melbourne if they do not see quick results from a genocide case launched against the federal government.

Calling for the government to be investigated for crimes of genocide, one of the signatories to the writ, Robbie Thorpe, said momentum was building for protests at the Games.

"This is the lead up to the 'stolenwealth' games - we want the issues of the black GST (Genocide stopped, Sovereignty restored and Treaty made) resolved before they have their 'stolenwealth' games," he said.

"We're sick of the genocide and the terrorism in this country and we want it to end.

"If we don't see a treaty by the end of this year, who knows what's going to happen."
Genocide? I thought Aboriginal numbers were increasing. Maybe Robbie Thorpe should buy a dictionary and learn how to use it.

Thorpe's thinly veiled threat of violence adds a nice finishing touch, does it not?
