The inquiry found Victoria's Indigenous population dropped dramatically after colonisation
Inquiry finds British committed genocide on Indigenous Australians
SYDNEY — British colonists committed genocide against Australia's Indigenous population in Victoria, a landmark Aboriginal-led inquiry has found.The Yoorrook Justice Commission found violence and disease reduced the local Indigenous population by three quarters in the 20 years after the state was colonised, in the early 1830s.Its report included 100 recommendations to "redress" harm caused by "invasion and occupation" - though several of the authors disagreed with unspecified "key findings".The Commission was set up in 2021 as Australia's first formal "truth-telling" inquiry, and tasked with examining past and ongoing "systemic injustices" suffered by the Indigenous people in the state.It is part of a wider national push for...

Paetongtarn Shinawatra has been suspended as a Thai court considers a petition for her to be removed
Thai prime minister suspended over leaked phone call
BANGKOK — Thailand's Constitutional Court has suspended Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, who has come under mounting pressure to resign over her leaked phone conversation with former Cambodian leader Hun Sen.The clip, in which Paetongtarn called him "uncle" and criticised a Thai military commander, sparked public anger and a petition for her dismissal, which the court is now considering.That could make Paetongtarn the third politician in the powerful Shinawatra clan - which has dominated Thai politics for the past two decades - to lose power before completing their term.Her ruling coalition is already teetering with a slim majority after a key conservative ally abandoned it two weeks ago.The Constitutional Court voted 7-2 to suspend her while they consider the case...

Pakistan to consider extending deadline for Afghan refugees facing mass deportation to leave
ISLAMABAD — Pakistan will consider extending the deadline for 1.4 million Afghan refugees living legally in the country to return home, officials said on Monday.Any extension approved by the government would be a relief for those who were previously ordered to return to Afghanistan by 30 June, according to government and security officials.A decision could come on Tuesday when the Cabinet is due to meet.In 2023, Pakistan launched a controversial crackdown on foreigners it said were in the country illegally, mostly Afghan nationals.Millions of Afghans have fled their homeland over the decades to escape war or poverty.The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to discuss the matter, said the proposed extension was to allow the refugees more time to...
