Thousands rally against forced closure of Aboriginal communities

As reported previously, the fight for Aboriginal rights and culture in Australia has gained greater urgency with the proposed closure of hundreds of remote Aboriginal communities in Western Australia. This is part of the attempted genocide of Aboriginal cultures that has been perpetrated since the British first colonised Australia in 1788. A large demonstration this week brought central Melbourne to a standstill, a similar rally was held in Sydney, while another rally is to be held to coincide with May Day – the international day for all workers.
