Rebutting the Myths
Rebutting the Myths, produced by my office using the most up-to-date statistical data available, seeks to banish some of the shocking and absurd prejudices which exist about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Passing judgement about a person because of the colour of their skin makes a mockery of the Australian idiom of "a fair go for all".

On the Occasion of National Sorry Day 26 May 1998 -
`Bringing them home', the report of the experiences of Aboriginal families torn apart by policies of Australian governments shocked the nation when it was released by the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission in May 1997.
As a result, many thousands of Australians have sent their individual messages of sorrow to the Stolen Generation and pledged to work for reconciliation and justice.

Aboriginal Farming
Aboriginal people have successfully managed their land for at least 40,000 years. This land provides the primary resources for clothes, food, building materials and all the other items needed for a healthy sustainable life. Traditional Aboriginal land use practices in Australia use resources in such a way that they are renewed and not exhausted.
