As Australia prepares to mark Anzac Day and pause to remember the nation's fallen soldiers, some have again questioned why there's no national acknowledgement of the frontier wars. The frontier wars refer to conflict between Europeans and the Indigenous population in the years immediately after Europeans arrived. It's an uncomfortable chapter in Australia's history. At the forefront of it is Tasmania's so-called Black War - one of the bloodiest conflicts between white settlers and Indigenous Australians.
