Watching the news last night I see the two women organising the rally for today state; they will go ahead with the rally even though the high court has not given permission, because it is aboriginal land and the law does not apply. Leetona Day, the mother of David Dungay, says nothing will stop her from marching.The Police say everyone over the 5,000 attending will be advised to leave or be arrested.

The Greens and Left Councils have identified the land of this continent as aboriginal tribal land, and is not owned by the dwellers, or those who have built or farmed or mined. The aboriginal requirement is to have another government run by aboriginal elders to make law and say how the land is used and garner rent from the occupiers on their land. blob:http://www.sbs.com.au/7a132209-de7d-41ac-b525-4c427fc2f1c3

Until that happens they will not be happy, as they do not wish to assimilate into Australia under our laws, their relationship to this continent is Mother Earth.

The question is - what Indigenous people want;
What white people will accept.

A Referendum among Indigenous people about how the
Constitution should change -
so that their own inclusive and concrete proposals
are shared and not open to challenge later by people
who might be satisfied with a pro forma nod in the
preamble, or by radical separatists.

The Uluru Statement was a step in the right direction.
It listed what was wanted - and the details were to
be worked out together later. However it was rejected
outright by the government.

with the aim of leaving their parents free of raising children in order to extract their time for labouring for their white masters.
Mr Opinion,
Your remark is utterly unbalanced !

individual,

In what way?

In what way?
Mr Opinion,
Think !

Mr Opinion, you are correct in that black people moved into Fitzroy Crossing in the 60s but you have got the cause wrong.
In 1968 the equal wages accord went passed and station owners were compelled to pay equal wages to black stockmen instead of the usual 50% of what white stockmen got. In itself this was the right thing to do, they deserved the same wages however, no one but the station owners took into consideration the repercussions of this decision. The custom then was that black stockmen got less wages but the station fed and clothed their entire family who were living in the station camp. This wasn’t just wives and children. It was uncles and aunts, grandparents etc. . They all got rations and clothing provided on top of the wage. Once the black workers got equal pay the station owners announced that they could not feed and clothe all these extra people and either the stockman had to pay for their supplies or they would go without. So, all these extended families moved into the nearest towns. That is what caused the influx, however the number was hundreds not thousands. The population of Fitzroy Crossing in 1976 was only 605 people including aboriginals.
As for the missions in the Kimberley, only one mission took children without parents and that was Beagle Bay, which is where the part aboriginal children removed from single mothers were taken.
As for the other Catholic missions, children were taken from parents at age 7 and put into dormitories within sight of the parents dwellings. The children stayed with their parents on Sundays and school holidays. I presume this was to ensure kids went to school each day. That generation were certainly very literate. The non catholic missions in the Kimberley left Kids with their parents. Where I got my information, my husband spent some of his early years in the mission and stayed in the boys dormitory. For for the stations, his parents worked on stations around the Kimberley, including Nookenbah, the site of the huge demonstrations in the 70s.
