I am for acknowledging our fellow Indigenous aussies who, when they were only kids, were torn from their family home to be placed into an institutional Home as it was said that “it was for the best for them’.” How wrong were they! I relate to your deep and unspeakable sorrow being torn from your roots!

Let’s also spare a thought for just a moment for what I once heard us being called – the “Silence Stolen Generations”, us aussie kids with disabilities between 1940’s and up until the mid 1980’s being torn away from our families and placed/hidden into institutional Homes as it was said that “it was for the best for them’.” too. How wrong were they! We are hurting too…
