Teaching Colonial History
Was Australia 'invaded' or 'discovered'?
Some people are objecting to a top Australian university encouraging its students to use the term "invaded" rather than "settled" or "discovered", and avoid the word "Aborigines" when discussing Australia's colonial history. Does the terminology used in teaching colonial history matter? Also, we hear Nigerians discuss the decline of their football team after the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations champions lost in qualifying again. Plus, we discuss the Islamists protesting outside Pakistan's parliament building in Islamabad.
