Australia; locking up its First People for 200 years
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sun, 22/02/2015 - 1:16pmBy Gerry Georgatos - February 21st, 2015 - Australia is the mother of all jailers of its First Peoples. When one in 13 of Western Australia’s Aboriginal adult males are in prison then we know that their jailing is racialised. Half the Western Australian prison population is comprised of First Peoples, more than a quarter of them for poverty related fine defaults and more than half of them for poverty related offences. Western Australia effectively interns First Peoples in what others could argue as concentration camps.

Quality of life for Australians 2nd only to Norway, but for First Peoples 132nd
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sun, 22/02/2015 - 1:10pmBy Gerry Georgatos - February 21st, 2015 - A couple of years ago, the United Nations ranked Australia second behind Norway in its annual Human Development Index – for public health, social wealth, education, even happiness. But if First Peoples were to stand-alone they would not have been part of that 2nd rating – at the time I estimated they would be 122nd. Two years later, with the major of social determinant indicators going backwards, First Peoples, for quality of life, would rate 132nd.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sun, 22/02/2015 - 1:03pmBy Gerry Georgatos - February 22nd, 2015 - The Stringer is not just your average news site. Founded by Jennifer Kaeshagen, The Stringercoordinates advocacy in addition to its news reporting, features and opining.
Ms Kaeshagen late last year made a personal commitment to attempt to house over the course of 2015 one hundred First Nations people experiencing homelessness. Without delay she launched The First Nations Homelessness Project. On track to housing 100 people, seven weeks into this year she has found homes for 12 people.

Understanding Australia’s suicide crises
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sun, 22/02/2015 - 12:33pmBy Gerry Georgatos - February 20th, 2015 - Each day, a suicide is brought to my attention. I have written widely on the suicide crises. I have written about the disproportionate rate of death by suicide for the descendants of the First Peoples and for first and second generation Australians and for LGBQTI Australians. Recently I wrote about the tragic suicide of 18 year old Philinka Powdrill, who represents so many of the suicides that tear at families long after one is gone.
