More specifically, Windschuttle has not provided any evidence for his imputation that academic historians have compared the British colonisation of this country to Nazi Germany's treatment of Jews or caused others to make such a comparison. This is a figment of his imagination.

--Bain Attwood, Telling the Truth about Aboriginal History, 2005, p 95

No Australian historian contends there was an Australian holocaust.

--Dirk Moses, Australian, January 13, 2003

For the foreseeable future, the fate of reconciliation will also rest on recognition of the severe historical impact the various dimensions of colonisation have had upon Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders--what can and should be called a holocaust given the scale of loss and the trauma that has been suffered.

--Bain Attwood, in Michelle Grattan ed., Reconciliation, 2000, p 258

I don't want to call it genocidal, but I'm not going to tidy it up either
