Mary Durack - Links to Genocide
why is the following information from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_massacres_of_Indigenous_Australians - not included in her own page? I note there are not citations linking to a source where she "suggests" and another that cites: "wrote that it was one of the most sweeping massacres'"

1880s[edit] 1887. Halls Creek. Mary Durack suggests there was a conspiracy of silence about the massacres of Djara, Konejandi and Walmadjari peoples, and about attacks on Aboriginal people by white gold-miners, Aboriginal reprisals and consequent massacres at this time. John Durack was speared, which led to a local massacre in the Kimberley. 1888. When a prospector named George Barnett from the Panton River was killed by Aborigines, a punitive party set out to "disperse the blacks". During the three week expedition, the group had "dispersed" over 600 men, women and children, with a newspaper reporting "only six niggers butchered". They also brought back two small Aboriginal boys with them as "trophies". One of the punitive expedition's leaders, Augustus Lucanus, remembers dispersing around 200 Aboriginal people in this incident while Mary Durack wrote that it was one of the most sweeping massacres in the region's history with one participant alone killing 35 Aboriginal people. The Government Resident of Roebourne stated that 70 were killed. 203.5.145.175 (talk) 00:09, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for raising this. I've had a look, and it appears that the Mary Durack who was commenting on the massacres was a different Mary Durack to the one this article is about, so I've removed the link. - Bilby (talk) 00:14, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
