Since we seem to be so frightened of colonialism these days, we could call it the "Intervention". Which is what the Howard government, with the support of the usually stupid Labor opposition did when they realised that the 45 aboriginal tribal apartheid areas in the NT had become ( like The Solomons) completely anarchic under the rule of the tribal "big men." You know, the "coloured" guys with the big beards, the black hats, and the "aboriginal" flag badges over everything.
A friend of mine was on HMAS Tobruk the last time when when the Solomon Islanders started burning down their own capitol. And gee willackers, I can;t see how the woke could blame the burning and looting on "white privilege." He said that the mainly white and Chinese merchants who were evacuated represented most of the GDP of the islands.
