Can't see the link (it requires a subscription apparently) but this isn't a new phenomenon unfortunately.
Even during primary school there was always an atmosphere of white guilt surrounding the topic of Australia day and a sizeable number of teachers suggestively nudged impressionable students towards referring to it as "invasion day."

The material we were given was fine but when it came to discussion on the topic the teachers would always put extra emphasis on the atrocities aboriginal people have had to endure at the hands of white colonialism, which in itself is not inherently wrong, but it happened with enough regularity that it felt like we were being beat over the head with it, and subtly nurtured to feel guilty about it.

So true. Lived in Alice for a while and no matter how much they were given they wouldn't be happy. Here's a new car! They drive it till it runs out of fuel and then strip it where it is and walk off. Here's a house! They gut the inside and build a fire pit in the floor of the lounge room. Here's money! Kids starve while the adults gather at the liquor store waiting for it to open. (They open late so they're not getting shit faced at 7am) Oh, your community is in need of medical assistance? Send the flying doctors only to have the nurses -blam!- and gear trashed. I've had many aboriginal friends over the years but so many won't even try to help themselves. Even with how easy it is for them to get government jobs with all the trimmings
