A Melbourne-based journalist encouraged his Twitter followers to make a complaint to the Australian Press Council after a blog post by commentator Andrew Bolt that branded the Stolen Generations a "myth" before lodging his own.

The post, published on the websites of The Daily Telegraph and The Herald Sun, begins with a YouTube clip of a song from the Opera Australia adaptation of childrens' book The Rabbits. The award-winning production is based on a picture book by John Marsden and Shaun Tan that uses the tale of rabbits arriving in a strange land as an allegory for white settlement of Australia.

Under fire, again: Andrew Bolt.

The opera is funded in part by government arts initiatives and deals with issues surrounding colonisation and the forcible removal of children from their families.

After describing the production's themes, Bolt said "the courts cannot find" children who were taken from their families simply for being Indigenous.
