Thank you for this wonderful post. I have tears in my eyes and a knot in my tummy even though it isn't new to me that Australia's first people have been treated with gross injustice and disrespect. I live in Cairns and work alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have many stories to tell, and the statistics tell their own sad stories. Progress to close the gap is slow (e.g. in health) and our indigenous people are still discriminated against on a daily basis. It's heartbreaking and maddening. I do hope that posts like yours will educate and open many people's eyes, and make more people think about and start fighting for social justice. I think this platform is great to spread the truly important messages to a wide range of people.
