Australia has one of the most disgraceful histories on this planet. The indigenous people of this country have had both their land and culture stripped from them in the worst way possible and it is still happening today. The traditional custodians of the land we consistently destroy, have been bullied and eradicated from within since the first fleet. Time and time again our governments have torn apart what little culture is left and it is shameful. The aboriginal people of Australia are some of the most poorly treated cultures on earth, yet most people sit back and watch the injustice happen.
The government feel it is OK to break apart communities that have been there for ten of thousands of years, to appease the mining companies that disfigure sacred land for profit and power. How is this ok?
I felt so proud to march yesterday and I will continue the fight for humanity, equality and respect.
And to the people that felt the protest was selfish and an inconvenience to commuters trying to get home after a ‘hard days’ work… you are lucky to have a f*#%ing home!
