Scientists reveal 93% of Australia's Indigenous population was lost in just 73 years

Scientists now estimate that approximately 2.22 million Indigenous people lived across the continent before the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, potentially up to seven times the number suggested by some earlier calculations.
