To many of you here, for better or worse you have experienced a relatively normal family life. Here in Australia there are still peoole who are deprived of childhoods with their parents. I am not just talking of the deprivations caused by family law courts but as a result of deliberate governmental policies designed to help create the genocide that occurs with regard to Australian First Nations People. In recent years the separation of children from their families and traditional culture has been occurring in the name of protecting children. The evidence that resulted in this "intervention" subsequently turned out to be the invention of a staffer in the ministry of John Howard, Bush's brown noser in the war resulting from the lie of weapons of mass destruction. The only weapons of mass destruction were the shells and their radioactive dust left by the allies. But I digress!

Tonight I went to see a performance of the play "Hart" which vividly exposes the injustice against Australian First Nations People. An injustice known originally as the "Stolen Generations" now the Intervention children.

Written and performed by proud Noongar man Ian Michael the play tells of
" Australia’s history, & an unknown number of Indigenous children have been forcibly removed from their families. Parents driven mad, grandparents heartbroken, siblings torn apart, language lost, and culture stripped away."
