A deeply personal exploration of Australia's colonisation — past, present and future — by acclaimed Noongar author Claire G. Coleman. In Lies, Damned Lies, Coleman takes the reader on a journey through her own experience, blending the personal with the political to offer insight into the stark reality of the ongoing trauma of Australia's violent colonisation. Colonisation in Australia is not over. Colonisation is a process, not an event — and its after-effects will continue while there are people to remember it.
