My Response
When we compare First Nations people and non-Indigenous Australians in Australia on a range of life indicators, there’s a devastating disparity. These statistics reveal something deeply wrong in our nation – an injustice towards First Nations people that began with colonisation and is ongoing today. Despite this injustice, many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people around Australia are thriving and proudly reviving, protecting and celebrating their cultures and identities. And yet, discrimination and prejudice towards First Nations people seems hardwired into our society’s very DNA. So how did it start and what can we do about it?
We've brought together an entire collection of stories and articles that take a deep dive into the origins of these injustices and their ongoing impact – The Wound in our nation.
