Why do you think this is? Jithin Well as we wholly have a go at it Australia day is well known for Captain fakes arrival of the First Fleet but, in truth what many a(prenominal) of us dont know is on that same day is what pristines call invasion day. This day symbolizes the disaffirmation of rights and freedoms of primaeval people. Just as Paul Keating said, we failed to make the most staple human response and enter into their hearts and minds (Redfern speech). During this timeframe, natural Australians have experienced discrimination, inequality and lack of opportunity. Shane Howard in Solid Rock sang Wasnt long before they felt the sting fresh man, clean-living law, gaberdine gun. To many Aboriginals this day is very little about celebrating and rather about call back of a deep loss. A Loss of their land, family, and the right to practice their culture. su pporter So what was the nature of the contact between the first settlers and Aboriginal Australians? Jithin Um, it seems to me the wee European settlers were only when as curious as aboriginals. For instance, Captain Cook wrote I cannot tell if these natives are the most miserable, or the happiest people on earth. The aborigines were a peaceful and nomadic group of natives. We know the English were told be at good terms between aboriginals. still gradually we unclutter the strong connection autochthonous Australians had with the land was being disrespected as White resolving expanded. Without doubt, we understand white settlers felt vastly superior to the indigenous population leading to violence, prejudice and racism. presenter Can you explain to the audition the involve this would have had on Aboriginal Australians at this time? peradventure this is why it has been referred to as Invasion Day? Jithin So, we understand white settlement had a dark and devastating impact on aboriginal Australians. many aboriginals were forced off their ancestral land and became dis place. This led them to new diseases introduced by settlers, which they had had no immunity too. Just like Djinyini Gondarra said The land is my mother. the likes of a human mother, the land gives us protection, enjoyment and provides our needs. Due to this, they were uneffective to access food and water, which made them more fragile and powerless. Also during this fulfilment violent conflict between settlers arose causing many heartless deaths. The impact of white settlers resulted in a drastic decline in the indigenous population. bestower You mentioned the political relation indemnity of protectionism, what was this exactly? Jithin Yeah, the indemnity of protectionism ran for around 68 years and the main idea behind it was to control and separate aboriginal people from the white population and from each other. The polity of protectionism placed restrictions that denied their indepe ndence, freedom and basic human rights. Rights such as the where aboriginal people should suffer were denied and instead, the government directed how aboriginal people should live. The freedom to express their traditional customs were banned. The protector was the legal owner of all personal airscrew rightfully owned by the aboriginal workers. Spending money in time to buy basic items was restricted. The freedom to marry whoever had to be granted by white superiors and traditional names were refused. We can clearly understand this policy was very RACIST towards aboriginals.Presenter Can you just outline for the audience the purpose of reservations and missions during this time period? Who were they administered by Jithin Reserves and missions were enforced by their so-called white protectors. This meant approval was needed to enter or bequeath fenced areas. By doing this they excluded aborigines from cities and towns, which achieved their purpose of separating aboriginals from t he white population. White superiors were strict and conditions inside these militia were extremely harsh. Just as R. Broome said, It was evident at one token the reserves superintendents were at once policeman, judge and jury.Presenter The toll on the Aboriginal population of Australia must have been horrendous. What were some of the consequences of this policy? Jithin It was clear that the policies of protection had led to the dispossession, despair and a rapid decline in the size of the Aboriginal population. An Increase in infant mortality, suicide and biography expectancy had a great impact. Harsh living conditions directed them to take up and most children lost links with their family and land. Many aborigines missed out on being educated in the language, culture and traditions of their people. Also,numerous mental health problems arose during the lifespan of aboriginal children.Presenter You mentioned assimilation earlier in the program, what was this? Was it another pol icy put in place by the government? Jithin Once the government understood the protection policy wasnt going as planned, with expenses and maintenance in running reserves and missions. The way forward was to absorb aborigines into towns and cities and the wider white community. By doing this Aboriginals would lose their cultural background but instead have their military position pull aheadd. As part of Assimilation, the certificate of exemption was introduced and it required a self-renunciation of all cultural identity. It was only accepted to aborigines who were considered as detribalised and which have worked for the white man. Presenter What would become of full blood Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people during this period? Jithin Well, full blood aboriginals were excluded from white society and placed in reserves and missions. Where they were ignored and left to die out on base their culture. All opportunities were put back and they relied on each other to sustain.Pr esenter And what about those who were deemed half-caste?Jithin As part of assimilation half-castes were absorbed into the wider white community. In promise of a simpler lifestyle away from the harsh conditions found in reserves. But instead they were seen by the assumption of black inferiority and white superiority. Presenter Just for the benefit of those listeners who have just tuned in, would you mind just defining the term the Stolen Generation?JithinThe stolen generation were identified as those who were of aboriginal origin and were taken away from their families to be put into church missions, nurse families and institutions. Under the act of government.Presenter It sounds as though the impact of this policy was devastating to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Can you explain this impact for our listeners out there?Jithin When aboriginal people arrived in towns and cities and the wider white community, they came up against racism and discrimination. Abori gines were rather excluded from hotels and bars, they could only use swimming pools at reliable times and sit in certain places at the cinemas. The most enormous part of the assimilated policy was that it led to children being taken away from their parents and families to be put into foster homes. These were known as the stolen generation. Presenter Do you have an example from the material you have come across from a dupe of the Stolen Generation? What was their experience? Your Name Presenter By todays standards, wouldnt these policies have been a split up of the Declaration of Human Rights? Do you mind just explaining, say trine rights that these policies would have contravened? Jithin Yes, they definitely would have breached the declaration of human rights. These policies have profaned rights such as Um, all adults have the right to marriage and to raise a family. Everyone has the right to an adequate standard of living for themselves and their family. And we are all equal be fore the law and entitled to equal protection of the law.Presenter Wow, some powerful stuff. No wonder that some people are upset with our current celebration of Australia Day on the 26th January. But this isnt the first time people have protested against the abuse of rights and freedoms of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders is it? For the benefit of the audience could you please outline one of these protests? (Who, what, when, where, why) Your Name Presenter give thanks you so much for your time today on Hack. Heres hoping the information you have provided has enlightened some of the more ignorant corners of Australian society. HARVARD STYLE BIBLIOGRAPHYJens Korff. 2017. Australia Day Invasion Day.
