He was Premier of South Australia twice, during his entire political career he knew about the genocide of indigenous people, he knew it was illegal & yet he defended & was complicit in their genocide.

They have often acknowledged other achievements of their ancestors but always omit the bit about their ancestor Sir John being complicit in the genocide of indigenous people & defending Willshire.

You can't heal the past if you don't acknowledge past mistakes & cherry-pick your history.
Sir John Downer 'built' a nation on genocide.
