Welcome to the first in a series of several debunking episodes where I'll be fact checking and addressing misinformation that's floating around the internet (and maybe the family dinner table). Misinformation naturally happens when there's a gap in someone's understanding, or even just develops out of accidental misrepresentations of something. It's understandable. But we should also try to do our best to combat the spread of these misunderstandings to make sure as many people as possible are informed.

For more information I recommend reliable sources such as RMIT FactLab: https://www.rmit.edu.au/about/schools-colleges/media-and-communication/industry/factlab/debunking-misinformation

Auspol Explained would like to acknowledge the Whadjuk Nyoongar people and their Elders as the owners and custodians of the Land that the episode was recorded and edited on. This Land was stolen and never ceded. It always was and always will be Aboriginal Land.
