Carrie Brown - Country Needs People

I think it is so tragic what has happened to indigenous Australians through the short white history in this country. My ancestors were convicts brought here. I can never fathom the utter disrespect shown to beautiful indigenous peoples of this nation and I stand with you. The knowledge you hold of the land and the respect you have for it are admirable and exactly the respect mother earth deserves from all humans. Having indigenous rangers looking after and protecting the land should be ongoing and mandatory. The way you lived is amazing and the knowledge learnt over the 70,000 plus years you lived here is a great credit and a very much needed knowledge to protect this beautiful country. Best of luck and much respect to all people of colour, we are all related and should respect each others differences. Peace xxx
