Why do you think this is? Jithin Well as we all know Australia day is well known for Captain Cooks arrival of the First Fleet but, in truth what many of us dont know is on that same day is what aboriginals call invasion day. This day symbolizes the denial of rights and freedoms of aboriginal people. erect as capital of Minnesota Keating said, we failed to make the most canonic human response and enter into their hearts and minds (Redfern speech). During this timeframe, indigenous Australians have experienced discrimination, inequality and lack of opportunity. Shane Howard in real Rock sang Wasnt long before they felt the sting White man, white law, white gun. To many Aboriginals this day is very little about celebrating and rather about remembering of a deep loss. A Loss of their land, family, and the right to practice their culture.Presenter So what was the natur e of the contact between the first settlers and Aboriginal Australians? Jithin Um, it seems to me the early European settlers were just 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. But gradually we realize the ironlike connection indigenous Australians had with the land was being disrespected as White settlement expanded. Without doubt, we understand white settlers felt vastly superior to the indigenous population trail to violence, prejudice and racism.Presenter canful you explain to the audience the impact this would have had on Aboriginal Australians at this time? Maybe 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 for ced off their ancestral land and became dis displaced. 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. Like a human mother, the land gives us protection, manipulation and provides our needs. Due to this, they were unable to access food and water, which made them more fragile and powerless. Also during this period violent conflict between settlers arose causing many flinty deaths. The impact of white settlers resulted in a drastic decline in the indigenous population. Presenter You mentioned the government policy of protectionism, what was this exactly? Jithin Yeah, the policy 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 policy of protectionism placed restrictions that denied their independence, freedom and basic human rights. Rights such as the where aboriginal peop le should live were denied and instead, the government directed how aboriginal people should live. The freedom to express their traditional customs were banned. The defender was the legal owner of all personal property rightfully owned by the aboriginal workers. Spending money even 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 vindicatedly 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 leave fenced areas. By doing this they excluded aborigines from cities and towns, which achieved their purpose of separating aboriginals from the white population. White superiors were strict and conditions inside these reserves were extremely harsh. Just as R. Broome said, It was evident at one point 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 life foretaste had a great impact. Harsh living conditions directed them to drink and most children lost links with their family and land. Many aborigines missed out on being improve in the language, culture and traditions of their people. Also,numerous mental health problems arose during the lifetime of aboriginal children.Presenter You mentioned assimilation earlier in the program, what was this? Was it another policy put in place by the government? Jithin Once the government understood the protection policy w asnt going as planned, with expenses and maintenance in running reserves and missions. The way frontwards 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 status raised. As part of Assimilation, the certificate of exemption was introduced and it requisite a denial 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 island-dweller 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 alongside their culture. All opportunities were put back and they relied on each other to sustain.Presenter And what about those who were deemed half-caste?Jithin As part of assimilation half-castes were absorbed into the wider white community. In omen of a simpler lifestyle away(predicate) 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, foster 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. Aborigines were rather excluded from hotels and bars, they could only use fluent pools at certain times an d sit in certain places at the cinemas. The most terrible 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 victim of the Stolen Generation? What was their experience? Your Name Presenter By todays standards, wouldnt these policies have been a breach of the Declaration of Human Rights? Do you mind just explaining, say three rights that these policies would have contravened? Jithin Yes, they definitely would have breached the declaration of human rights. These policies have violated 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 before 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 Thank 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.
