The figures of 300,000 to 2.4 million in 1788 are uncited... and quite frankly ridiculous. For example, the 1924 Commonwealth Year Book estimated just 150,000. Famous Anthroplogist Radcliffe-Brown estimated 242,000-300,000. Lancaster Jones revised that figure down... Henry Reynolds wrote "about 300,000" without showing how he arrived at such a figure. The common theme here though is that no serious academic would suggest it was 2.4 million. 124.148.123.211 (talk) 03:43, 27 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Your personal speculations and mocking add nothing to the discussion. I actually heard a new figure yesterday for Victoria whike driving. It sounded like good research. Didn't pay enough attention to be able find anything today. But give it time. HiLo48 (talk) 03:55, 27 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

This citation seems to be broken. I couldn't access the link. It says "The request is blocked. 20241214T185954Z-r1fd6d687f4t82wvhC1TYOxuz40000000atg000000006zfc"
