Well quite a lot it turns out.
The announcement this week the name of Scottish entrepreneur and reported "blackbirder" Ben Boyd is to be removed from the national park south of Eden has been widely welcomed.
The push to have the park renamed has been underway for some years, with Indigenous Elders in the region questioning why the unsavoury elements of the man were being, in effect, endorsed on a public asset.
There's no doubt Boyd had a huge influence on our region.
Boyd is documented as being one of the largest landholders and graziers in New South Wales during the mid-1800s. His activities included commercial enterprises such as whaling, shipping, banking, owning and operating stations, meat and wool growing and trading both out of Sydney and Boydtown.
However he is also known for "blackbirding" South Sea Islanders in the 1840s, bringing 65 men from Lifu Island to work as slaves in his pastoral and whaling operations, working alongside Aboriginal and Maori labourers.
Local Elders have been at pains to say they aren't calling for the rewriting of history nor the removal of the Boyd narrative from local history. But given the claims of blackbirding - in essence slave trading - it's been argued his name has no business on a national park.
The park was only named as such about 50 years ago; so it's not as if it's long-standing history that's being altered here. And given the wider discussion about dual naming and Indigenous naming of significant landmarks it seems certainly fitting.
However, there are also those who question it as being a slight on the area's history - although it has to be said that's on more recent history than the tens of thousands of years of our First Peoples.
This is not the "cancel culture" we've seen in recent years where our history is viewed through the distortions of the now offended. There has even been an argument - agreed to by the previous council as well - that a dual name could be considered.
However, the state government has begun the process to remove Ben Boyd from the national park in favour of a much more respectful Indigenous title.
How to come to an agreement on what that should be is the next challenge.
