The Descendants episode 2: the search for Tom Wills

Full Story

About this episode

For some years there have been suggestions that in the 1860s Tom Wills, Australia’s first sports hero and a founder of Australian rules football, may have taken part in the massacres of Gayiri people in central Queensland. Now, in a Guardian Australia investigation, Indigenous affairs reporter Ella Archibald-Binge travels in search of the truth behind the allegations. In this two-part special Full Story, she and Lorena Allam from the University of Technology Sydney’s Jumbunna Institute discuss how families on both sides of the conflict are reckoning with the truth of their ancestors’ colonial past
