RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
An account is given of the town of New Norfolk,
Tasmania, from its early colonial beginnings until the present day. The town owes its foundation to Governor Macquarie, its continuation to a productive immediate hinterland and the heritage of an early administrative funtion, and its present position, as the State’s sixth ranking town, dominantly to one industry-newsprint manufacture.

The Royal Society of Tasmania acknowledges, with deep respect, the traditional owners of this land, and the ongoing custodianship of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania. The Society pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that Tasmanian Aboriginal Peoples have survived severe and unjust impacts resulting from invasion and dispossession of their Country. As an institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, the Royal Society of Tasmania recognises Aboriginal cultural knowledge and practices and seeks to respect and honour these traditions and the deep understanding they represent.
On 15 February 2021, the Royal Society of Tasmania offered a formal Apology to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people.
