you're correct K.... but that was in an evolutionary phase of global development that no longer exists. the impetus for colonising has gone and such would be called invasion if it were to happen today.
after all thats exactly what Putin is doing.
so Tibet remains colonised or invaded depending on which side of the waters edge you happen to be on.
and so the ADF was on the invading force and treating the locals as Aus invaders have done in the past.
if it was 230 yrs ago there'd be no problem.
