RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
Recent mapping and petrological work, associated with some dating, demonstrates a wider range of Upper Mesozoic intrusives and post-lower Devonian Lamprophyres than previously recognized in Tasmania. Their distribution suggests significant igneous activity across the State, but knowledge of its full extent is dependent on detailed Separation of some lamprophyres from those of older igneous episodes. All the rocks, so far assigned to the Upper Mesozoic magmatic episode in Tasmania, are potassic in nature with shoshonitic affinities. They form the southern extension of similar magmatism around Bass Strait and in eastern Australia.

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.
