FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Activists are set to gather in Western Sydney to mark the fifth anniversary of the Northern Territory intervention and protest income management in Aboriginal communities.
The rally in Bankstown will call for the immediate withdrawal of the government’s Stronger Futures legislation, ahead of the Senate debate on Monday, organisers said.
George Pascoe from the Aboriginal community of Maningrida in the Northern Territory said he had lived under the “dictatorship” of the intervention and did not want it anymore.
“We are struggling to cope,” he said in a statement on Friday.
“The timeline of history has been reversed – it’s like we are living under the protection board again.”
Aboriginal activist Sue Gillett said the legislation would usher in another decade of discrimination.
“We are preparing a boycott campaign here in Bankstown to force a change of direction from a government that has refused to listen.”
The legislation extends the former Howard government’s policy of curbing alcohol and pornography in some Aboriginal communities, and limiting courts’ consideration of cultural practices during bail and sentencing.
The ALP wants to toughen the existing laws by linking school truancy with cuts to parents’ welfare payments in those communities.
