So she feels no connection with that? Even if she's a more recent immigrant, the majority Australian population she's part of is largely descended from the very same Poms and has been doing a very efficient job of mistreating the indigenous population all on their own initiative since.
If she's slapping down some Brit who thinks it was only the colonials who did that, fair enough up to a point. But "you oppressed our indigenous people" doesn't sound that nuanced. Sounds dumb.

So she's blaming current 'poms' for atrocities caused by their indirect ancestors, when they emigrated/were deported to Australia.
The ancestors she's presumably a direct descendant of.To be clear: i'm not saying she's wrong, I just don't entirely get where she's coming from. Figuratively and geographically.
EDIT: page refresh fail - wot @itsbruce said, essentially!
@AlexD, I'd say it was pretty spot on
