Major Logue
Major Logue was a prominent pastoralist and politician in Western Australia, known for his extensive diaries that detail his life and activities from the 1850s to 1900. Despite his status as a respected settler and a member of the Legislative Council, Logue's writings reveal his involvement in the murder of Aboriginal people, obscured by a unique coded language. His diaries, a crucial historical document, have recently become a focal point in discussions about the atrocities committed during Australia's colonial era.
