All the “sorrys” in the world won’t provide justice, support or compensation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who were forcibly removed from their families. Beginning in the late 19th century, the “protection” era involved controlling every aspect of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s lives. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people had no say on this policy, nor any freedom to decline it. The notion they were ever intended to enjoy the same rights and privileges as white folk is a lie. A key recommendation of the report was that reparations be made. Rudd, however, firmly stated the government had no intention to consider compensation. The survivors of this frontier violence were then subject to “protection” policies. An official policy of assimilation was established in 1937. While this is a national day of commemoration, shamefully, it barely rates a mention in the media. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been subject to various government policies that resulted in oppressive and discriminatory conditions. This time of “protection” was not an era of benevolence. In some families, children from three or more generations were taken.
