The government finally confirmed that Aboriginal people will not face deportation from their own ancestral lands. My heart is full knowing that my community members are safe from this threat. We stay vigilant to ensure this protection remains permanent for every single one of our people.

There has been a recent rise in discussion over the controversy of whether Aboriginals without citizenships are to be deported or not. In the history of Australia it’s known that Australia is a country that has historically mistreated their indigenous from the invasion by the British settlers and now by alienating them, denying them their rights to be a citizen in their own land and subject to deportation

It is being established as to whether an aboriginal / indigenous person with one Australian parent (mixed) who doesn’t have an Australian citizenship can be deported due to ‘Section 51’ of the Australian Constitution.

Seeing one hundred people recognize the injustice of deporting our own people means everything to me. This fight is deeply personal and your support keeps me going.

Seeing these names stack up keeps me going because my own family history is tied to this struggle for belonging. We need you to send this out to your contacts right now so we can hit our goal while the momentum is actually building.

Where will they go? This is their literal land. If indigenous people get deported then the first to leave should be white people.

Australia is Aboriginal land. Always was. Always will be. The predominantly white Australian government has no right to decide an Indigenous persons right to their own country.

This is their land! They have human rights, “a right to live” we are not going back into the ways of the despicable “stolen generation”

Always was, always will be Aboriginal land. You cannot deport First Nation people from their own stolen homelands.
