Aboriginal foster generation exceeds Stolen Generations

24 November 2008

First published in The Australian

WELFARE workers in NSW are removing Aboriginal children from their homes in numbers far greater than during the Stolen Generations, and the recruitment of Aboriginal staff has done nothing to stem the tide.

On the eve of the release of another report on the crisis in child welfare, The Australian can reveal that a staggering 4000 Aboriginal children are now in state care in NSW.

This compares with about 1000 Aboriginal children in foster homes, institutions and missions in 1969.

17 February 2008

First published in the Sydney Morning Herald

SUPPORT for the stolen generations apology has leapt since the Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, said sorry in Parliament last week.

More than two-thirds of Australians support the apology, says a poll taken at the weekend. In total, 68 per cent voiced their approval, up sharply from the 55 per cent who backed the apology two weeks ago.
