Not only with First Nations, but with #Blackbirding (which could be said to have been revived recently with work visas, indentured servitude, grossly underpaid casual staff, and governments turning a blind eye to it all).

"The precise date on which the Fairfax family became sugar investors is not known, but the family was certainly involved by 1855, when John Fairfax’s daughter, Emily, married the general manager of CSR.
In the 1870s and 1880s, CSR expanded into milling cane in Queensland and Fiji. It profited from the use of what was effectively slave labour through the abduction and importation of tens of thousands of South Sea Islanders, who were disparagingly called “Kanakas” (a Hawaiian word meaning “man”)." #slavery #Australia #blackbirding #CSR #SMH #ForcedLabour #history #PacificIslands #sugar

Consuming Whiteness: Australian Racism and the ›White Sugar‹ Campaign by Stefanie Affeldt

The ›white Australia policy‹ has so far largely been discussed with regard only to the political-ideological perspective. No account was taken of the central problem of racist societalization, that is the everyday production and reproduction of ›race‹ as a social relation (›doing race‹) which was supported by broad sections of the population.
