What To Do With Controversial Australia National Museum Review?

Officials are wondering what to do with a controversial review of the National Museum of Australia. One thing they’re not doing so far is making the findings public. “The review was set up against a background of debate about the presentation of indigenous history, which has pitted the celebratory ‘three cheers’ view of the impact of white settlement against the black-armband view so disapproved of by the Prime Minister, John Howard. It has been criticised by several historians as politically driven, a motive denied by the council’s chairman.”
