NATIONAL: New footage showing a police overreaction at the Survival Day protests in Canberra has been released.
Aboriginal Tent Embassy supporters converged on the nearby Lobby Restaurant on January 26th after hearing Opposition Leader Tony Abbott’s comments that the embassy should move on from the events of the past.
It’s since emerged that Tent Embassy supporters were informed Mr Abbott was at the nearby restaurant by ACT unions official Kim Sattler, who was called by Prime Minister Julia Gillard’s press secretary Tony Hodges.
The rally at the restaurant followed a peaceful protest through the heart of Canberra which attracted nearly 2000 people.
Yep it’s every other Aussies fult for the past treatment of aborigines isn’t , we will never move on as a country nor will they move on as a people because they just don’t let go,the future is now people for gods sake please open your minds and just think .
Imagine if Australia got taken over? invaded ?modernised? by a “superior race ” next week. Everyone including you and I were forcibly removed from our homes, every business was shut down , 90% of the vegetation including produce , gardens, national park etc was destroyed, We were forbidden from speaking English. Expected to work 14 hours a day 6 days a week. But lucky us, given handouts, a new religion, a new language and best of all superheroin is legal.
Wouldn’t you like the new superiors to at least consider that we were happy with what we had and perhaps learn a little bit of English. I am not an Indigenous Australian and therefore i will never truly understand what it feels like, but i can imagine.
I would like to see the the day that every Australian learns indigenous studies at school and knows a reasonable amount of indigenous languge and culture
