It is not just the state that is involved in this exercise of control and dominion.
"The Australian is good at enacting violence and breaking relationships between blackfellas because it has practiced it and fine-tuned it over years, just as the processes of settler colonialism were practiced and refined over centuries.
What you read in The Australian is not a ‘truth’; instead it is a process of news gathering which is directly implicated in what is currently happening in Indigenous affairs, particularly in the vacuum of the referendum."
Shameful disqualifying a writer because they support Palestine. In particular if they called on Israel to stop their War Crimes.
Secondly the additional C02 & Methane ensuing from Woodside extension to 2070 is such a mockery - not only to global warming but to the lack of preservation of ancient rock art.
Thirdly the death of another young Indigenous person is shocking & also wilful is the decision of police for no independent investigation. Are they concerned that someone was neglectful?
All these points make a mockery of Reconciliation Week. Colonial power rules day again as you have stated Daniel. Shame Australia that these issues are dealt with quietly.

'Swift punishment meted out for expressing an uncomfortable truth'. The irony is breathtaking.
This is truly hard to read. Daniel, all your words have extraordinary gravitas.
