The University of New South Wales came under attack for suggesting students should refer to Australia as being ‘invaded', not 'discovered’. The mainstream media took issue with their guidelines, with the Daily Telegraph saying they were ‘rewriting the history books’, and Kyle Sandilands saying it happened 200 years ago, and that indigenous Australians should "just get on with life." Professor James Arvanitakis and Ash Berdebes spoke with writer and educator Luke Pearson from IndigenousX about racism, patriotism and the idea that Indigenous Australians should just ‘get over it’.
