Open Letter: WGAR advocates long-term funding for Aboriginal community controlled organisations

Submitted by WGAR - Working ... on Thu, 29/05/2014 - 1:18pm

Dear P.M,

We wish to formally register our opposition to the drastic cuts to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander programs in the 2014 Federal budget.

The Coalition’s Intervention in this country is still traumatising communities. Therefore the budget cuts further compound the oppression and defeat any chance of Self-determination.

If this is the Coalition’s intention we sincerely advise that the Coalition desists and takes a more Humanitarian approach to this country’s First Nations Peoples, consistent with International U.N Human Rights standards.

Detention centre escapee speaks out

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 27/05/2014 - 11:19pm

I escaped going to the detention centre on Xmass island by hitching a ride with a indonesian fishing vessel & then I swam ashore towards broome, I told some aboriginals near broome that I was a refugee from Sri Lanka & they told me not to tell anyone I was a refugee from sri lanka, tell people you are a aboriginal, I did what they said & I managed to get to perth & from perth I flew to sydney, now in sydney I have a job & I share a home with a black family, I am very happy here.
