Déjà Vu?

Ok so recently it has been a bit of a roller coaster, with the issues surrounding WA Premier Colin Barnett’s announcement that the state had “no option but to review the viability of 274 small indigenous communities”, which I am completely devastated about. Although, I am quite pleased with how the majority of major media outlets are dealing with this situation, by giving Indigenous people all over the country, a chance to voice their views, and their protests.

It is quite a devastating time for all Indigenous people, because it is putting us all back into the time when our ancestors were taken advantage of and families were taken from their homes, when right now, the same thing is happening right now, families and whole communities are being taken from their homes and it is being labelled simply as a budget cut. 

I mean I think it is pretty amusing, when our government has spent billions of dollars on detention centres for refugees (who I have absolutely nothing against, but am using them for this argument), but are not willing to protect this countries original inhabitants, I think is absolutely disgusting.
