"My Community is my home, my spirit lives there, that’s my country, my culture that’s where I feel safe. To be told that the government is now shutting down communities like mine it breaks my heart in two. Taking us away from our homes will only be widening the gap between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal, its only bringing more struggles to Aboriginal people, sending Australia back 100 years. The land is our mother and children being taken away from their mothers has already happened, please don’t make the same mistake again.
How does the government think that removing people from their home and their lands is going to be good in anyway shape or form? Have they really thought this through? The repercussions of this act of genocide are only going to have a negative effect for the Aboriginal people being removed. This needs to stop now in order for Australia to move forward in closing the gap between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people."
