It is hoped that Byron Council have a local policy that addresses Closing the Gap. This addresses the ongoing injustices executed on First Nations children/adults since colonisation.
Assurance upholding further suffering/ trauma/ despair is now articulated by NSW Premier Chris Minns who supports an upgraded policy incarcerating young Indigenous children, thus defying all of the years of honest work that has been created by the Closing the Gap activists.
This is a deplorable act. Contact the Aboriginal Legal Service for petitions. It is hoped that Byron Council stands against this action which defies compassion and Closing the Gap principles. A democratic Councillor voice(s) which condemn this inhumane act please.
Maybe take a look at the other side of the story. Both the current, and historical.
