The Coniston massacre was the last known massacre of indigenous Australians in Australia and took place from 14 August to 18 October 1928 in Northern Territory, Australia. The public outrage over the incident forced government to conduct an inquiry and criticism of the events by media both local and British also hastened government decision to probe matters. However, the board of inquiry did not convict any of the main characters of the massacre and declared their actions justified and simply changed the police officials involved in the massacre that claimed close to 70 lives. The criticism of the event both locally and internationally lead to more careful treatment of indigenous Australians by the functionaries of government.
