Should I include historic racist quotes about Aboriginal people in a government report? (With appropriate warning at the start.) To leave them in is to use disturbing language. To leave them out makes some colonists look better than they were. Thoughts?

This is going to be so incredibly useful.
I think I'm going to have to get back into model making very soon!

Since we are rubbishing museum signage today, It's as good a time as ever to post this one from the Port Arthur Historical Site in Tasmania, taken back in 2017. I did attempt to contact someone about it at the time but was ignored... as is usual. @DodgyPerth
