Do yourself a favour and do a bit of research .The name Fraser comes from Eliza Fraser, a Scottish woman who was shipwrecked on the island in the 1800s and, after she was rescued, claimed the island's native people mistreated her.
Jade Gould, the Butchulla Aboriginal Corporation Chairperson, said Fraser's narrative "directly lead to the massacre and dispossession of the Butchulla people."
