Description:
A powerful investigation that reveals the deep injustices inflicted on Aboriginal people in the Kimberley in the 1920s




In June 1926, a posse of police officers and white civilians murdered at least twenty Oombulgurri people at Forrest River in the Kimberley. After the massacre, a conspiracy of silence descended. Witnesses vanished. Charges against two of the officers were dropped for insufficient evidence.




One of the massacre's perpetrators was Bernard O'Leary, a former soldier whose land holding was known as 'the underworld'. At the 1927 Royal Commission into the killings, O'Leary was portrayed by his lawyer as a simple honest backwoodsman who was framed. In this powerful account, Kate Auty argues that O'Leary was in fact 'vicious, brazen and a bullshitter', with 'a propensity for brutality'. Although never charged, he played a leading role in the murders, and his duplicitous testimony thwarted the commission's work.




In electric prose, Auty depicts O'Leary as a merciless killer, while the apparatus that concealed his crimes is portrayed with great realism and clarity. Driven by both forensic and moral judgement, the book exposes the injustices embedded in Australian settlement history, and the culture of denial that has prevented truth-telling in this country.




'A major contribution to the study of frontier massacres in Australia' -Lyndall Ryan




'A forensically researched document of the persistence of frontier violence into the twentieth century.' -Kim Mahood




'Kate Auty's powerful and passionate work is a timely reminder that our colonial past should not be a foreign country- i

I am in love with this mitt
Pattern Name: 1 Exfoliation Glove, Pattern Name: 1 Exfoliation Glove
I am in love with this mitt!!! I am a long time user of the sun laboratories sunnless tanning lotion line of products and I use them all the time to give myself a wonderful golden bronze looking tan and generally it comes off easily with soap and water but sometimes it doesn't come off as well and I still look a different color than what I actually am. So I came across this mitt when I was looking online to buy more of the sunnless tanning lotion that I always use and it was reccomended that I try this out. I bought it thinking that this could be what I need to help my skin look better and I was not disappointed when I used this. It gently rubbed all the sunnless tanner lotion off and my skin looked back to normal, there was a major difference in my skin tone from before and after I used it. This mitt also works if you use the sunnless tanning lotion repeatedly for several days or weeks in a row and don't have time to properly exfoliate to get it all off in between each time that you use the sunnless tanning lotion. It easily rubbs off all the built up layers than can get gross and make your skin look off.

Works great!
Pattern Name: 1 Exfoliation Glove
This mit works great! I used a tanning lotion and as it started to rub off I needed something to help make my skin even again. The shower water was brown as the water rinsed my skin and the mit. So I know it was working! It is a little rough on your skin to hell scratch it off but overall I recommend.

Got me out of a MESS!
Pattern Name: 1 Exfoliation Glove
This thing is LEGIT. I gave myself a less-than-stellar at-home tan and fell asleep while it was developing- woke up 7 hours later to a HOT MESS. It was horrible. (I also tried a new self-tan company and the product did not work my skin tone AT a ALL- lesson learned!) After looking at different options, i saw this mitt and figured “what do I have to lose”... the mitt itself feels like sandpaper. I got it wet and applied a body scrub with it and scrubbed- HARD. It hurt like a mother but I could see the tan coming off of my skin. Dont think it’s going to magically take off your tan... you need to REALLY get in there. I now use this mitt 2x a week for normal exfoliating and it’s amazing... don’t think you only need to use it for a shotty fake tan. DEFINITELY worth your money.

They don't last long
Pattern Name: 8 Exfoliating Gloves
Aggressive exfoliating but paper thin. They leave my skin nice and smooth but after just a few uses/days they already have holes/tears in them. Appears one pair will only last a few weeks.
