Ben Kiernan, a native of Austrailia who now heads the Yale Genocide Project, views Windschuttle's work as a case of denial that is consistent with the historical tradition of [[Quadrant]] to deny and cover-up genocides in which Austrailian governments have been implicated. Kiernan contends that these denials in the face of undeniable facts are a function of political priorities. He concludes that, "At bottom, Windschuttle opposes Aboriginal land rights and covers up the history of massacres that strengthens the case for restitution. He recommends assimilation...Yet some aboriginals wish to live on their traditional land and reclaim it. Denial of their land rights favors white claimants such as pastoral and mining corporations. Denial of the genocide too, undercuts Aboriginal claims based on justice."[[http://www.yale.edu/gsp/publications/aborigines.pdf]]
