Media Coverage of Women for Wik

 

New Invasion

Brad Ruting, Woolloomooloo | September 3, 2007, The Sydney Morning Herald

I applaud the revival of the Women for Wik group in response to an indigenous policy that is again on the wrong track (Wik Women sign up for a new battle in Territory - Sept 1-2)

The way the Howard Government has treated many of its citizens over the past decade is utterly disgraceful, and further erosion of their rights and dignity will not fix anything in the long run. Surely the state of remote indigenous communities should be beyond cynical politicking.

I hope more Australians stand up against an uncaring Government that is unwilling to try anything other than the (re)- invasion of Aboriginal Australia.
