Consultation, Consultation, Consultation !!!

In the second half of 2015 it is becoming clearer that many Aboriginal people and their communities "are now so fed up with Government orchestration of the so called policy consultation process that they are asserting their right to discuss the issues on their own and where necessary challenge or resist the oppression," Jeff McMullen AO.

When will they implement the CNS? Western Australia’s deplorable pace of change is glacial

By Gerry Georgatos - courtesy of The Stringer - http://thestringer.com.au/ - Last year I founded a campaign to urge of the implementation of the Custody Notification Service (CNS) across the nation but without delay in Western Australia and the Northern Territory. In meeting Federal Ministers and State Governments I implored the wisdom of this move – in reference to the saving of lives. In NSW, the CNS has led to zero lives lost of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islanders detained in police watch houses – since 1998.

Do not play with people’s lives – Climate of death

By Gerry Georgatos - courtesy of The Stringer - http://thestringer.com.au/ - Despite the standout work of various individuals, our Governments have failed to respond to the catastrophic humanitarian crisis sweeping this nation, that is taking the lives of children, young adults, of human beings denied the sense of hope that the majority of Australians enjoy. The statistical narrative is startling and indicts the nation but there continues an effective silence.

It is not like me to cry - our children should not see suicide as the solution

By Gerry Georgatos - courtesy of The Stringer - http://thestringer.com.au/ - 18 years young, Phillinka died on October 18 last year. At the time, at her anguished mother’s request I wrote of the loss of Phillinka and of so many others in the Kimberley. I am once again in the Kimberley – surrounded by the most pristine nature and by the loss of so many young lives.

1 in 6 jail rate and 1 in 3 suicide rate are tools of the oppressor – institutionalised racism

By Gerry Georgatos - courtesy of The Stringer - http://thestringer.com.au/ - Globally, the impacts of colonialism have seen a widening divide between the First Peoples of lands they once inhabited effectively uninterrupted for tens of thousands of years and the new dominant populations who at most are only hundreds of years old. The dominance of these new populations, whether they are the majority or the minority, has been delivered on the back of ruthless oppressor/oppressed dichotomies.

The makeup of Australia’s parliaments is racist

By Gerry Georgatos - courtesy of The Stringer - http://thestringer.com.au/ - The presumption that Australia’s modernist racist past is being whittled away has long been a fallacy and every once and a while shows its hand. The modern Australian nation arrived on the back of invasion, apartheid, genocidal policies – justified by the worst forms of racisms. The invaders continued on as oppressors and wrapped racist narratives around the dispossessed and oppressed.
