Quote by Malcolm Fraser
Three years ago the Government announced the creation of Reconciliation Place, and said that it would include a memorial to those removed from their families. However, they refused to include any of those who were removed in the design of their own memorial.
Summary
This quote highlights the contradiction in the government's actions regarding the creation of Reconciliation Place and the memorial to those forcibly removed from their families. While the government acknowledged the importance of acknowledging the history of forced removals by announcing the creation of the memorial, they failed to include those who were actually affected in the memorial's design process. This omission reflects a lack of genuine inclusion and sensitivity towards those whose suffering the memorial seeks to commemorate. It raises questions about the government's commitment to true reconciliation and the importance of involving and respecting the voices of marginalized communities in such initiatives.
