First Nations families are not the problem. The state is, from history to today, it’s the same conduct occurring. The department of communities and justice must not exist, strengthening families and communities to be liberated and supported is the only way.
You should have seen my mum and dads face being able to see each other knowing that I was an adult and nobody could put there hands around and remove from my mum and dad.
We truly just took in the moment, because so many moments was stolen from us.
My big brother was so happy.
I ran from the system at 18 (no support or check in). I saved cash in hand money from reffing basketball to purchase my first car.
I didn’t know much,but I knew my country. It’s the first place I went to.
I then went and had a cup of tea with my mum & dad without being watched.
Today is National sorry day: today we are seeing more kids forcibly removed and placed into statutory Out Of Home Care.
As a survivor of this system; I say this with full honesty. Our kids need country, our kids need family.
Not punishment. Not surveillance.
