RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
The recent redescription by Corbett and Banks (1974) of the geology of Lewis’s type area of the Tyenna Valley for the Junee Group is commended. However, the introduction of correlations of rock sequences from localities over 24 km apart into a proposed definition of the Junee Group contravenes the Australian Code of Stratigraphic
Nomenclature, and is therefore invalid. The correlations of the basal beds of the Junee Group discussed by Corbett and Banks are controversial.

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.
