Assimilation vs. Self-determination | ANTaR - Australians for Native Title and Reconciliation
3.6.12
Assimilation vs. Self-determination | ANTaR - Australians for Native Title and Reconciliation: Dr Mike Dockery, first published in Online Opinion.
Last week marked the first anniversary of Kevin Rudd's apology to the Stolen Generation and for past policies more generally which "inflicted profound grief, suffering and loss on these our fellow Australians".
One year on, however, there have been no signs of new directions in the approach to addressing Indigenous disadvantage.
And while the inhumanity and short-sightedness of the policy of forcibly removing children from their natural families has now received some formal recognition, the assumptions underlying the policy are still widely accepted in the current debate.
