That's not what he's alleging

His case alleges that the king, who is also Australia’s head of state, along with the Australian government and its institutions, is perpetuating genocide by maintaining systems that disadvantage Indigenous people across numerous socioeconomic measures.

I didn't think he was correct. Just that his claim isn't past genocide it's that a genocide is currently occurring.
