Over the last few weeks, the state government of Western Australia and the Australian Federal Government have mounted brutal attacks on Australia’s indigenous people. In what can only be described as a return to the genocidal policies of the past, these governments have described the Aboriginal spiritual link to the land as a ‘lifestyle’ choice and want to force remote communities to bigger towns. The closure of remote Aboriginal communities would have a devastating impact on these populations. Protests against these initiatives have occurred in cities around Australia as resistance increases.
