“The Intervention policy has taken us back to the 1950s, to the assimilation era. We have lost everything. Aboriginal people must be free to determine our own futures. Any future initiative must support the right of Aboriginal people to maintain our languages, cultural practices and the capacity to live and work on country. Income Management takes away pride and dignity as a person. Now other communities around Australia are in line to become victims. We invite you brothers and sisters, walk with us, then fight a system that victimises people.” - Rev. Dr. Djiniyini Gondarra
