I left high school in 2003 and was taught very little about the history of aborigines in my own country. I learnt more by working with and forming friendships with many aborigines in the min8ng industry. I used to fear aborigines because I grew up with parents in hospitality who had a lot of issues with aborigines but now I have a very strong admiration for their culture and who they are, very soulful and spiritual people with strong connection to country. I hope the younger generations realise how important their culture and customs are and learn them to carry them forward before this valuable information is lost.
Just cos 1 of us did you wrong doesn't mean all of us would. Just like if I met 1 racist white person I wouldn't automatically think all of them are. It's individuals
Yes at the very least they should teach a lot more history in the Australian School Systems. We teach History about so many other Countries & we comprehensively cover every major War, but when it comes to our own Aboriginal History, its glossed over.
Great documentary. The minister of health of the Aboriginals also has an attitude. While they eat and live their best thes people and their generations are hungry, disadvantaged and left behind. Wickedness always starts from the top
Ask every single suburbs Aboriginal centre that is tax payer funded to provide for their communities, where the money is. It's Aboriginal people that steal from Aboriginal people.
Thank you John Pilger for sharing & exposing this to the world. The cruellest atrocities committed and the level of horror and evil that transpired is unbelievable!
Negrito people were here first and nobody talks about this they killed all the negrito peoples we owe them nothing if they don’t want to move on in life up to them our government still given them money
Still happening and will never change. So many ignorant white people who don't care. That minister should have gone to jail for the injustice of that man's death being cooked in that can . Disgusting evil people all should be brought to justice. It will never change until they are all held accountable for their evils.
The BRITS are hated all over the world...and this is why. Any where a BRIT puts his foot he claims that land as his. They have destroyed millions of indigenous peoples worldwide. The Spanish are just as guilty!!
Thank you. Thank you so much for making about this. I thought my history would never be talked about. I thought I would never see the day, I’m so happy. I’ve never seen myself in a video and yet here I am. My culture and history is finally in a video.
The cultural Marxists love misery and need racial division to thrive.. I'm a Aboriginal man and they use us as a tool to undermine the nation state from within..
@@nswpublicservantwhy are you looking at a genocide and saying this. The point of it all is to understand what happened here and why it impacts Australian society today.
Johns videos always manage to ruin my day. They're really long because they're so well researched and deep.😢 Incredible documentaries. Thank you John Pillinger!
@@HaydenCulph-pd7zwBS! I suggest, anyone’s “ruined day” is more accurately from compassion & sorrow; No idea for immediate effective answers. Also, gratitude for this documentary which honors people so far removed from ourselves, yet connected at the tender level of the soul. May all our prayers for improvement be answered. Knowledge of a situation is a powerful force! May God bless these people & heal Australia’s calluses.
yes like the lie rabbit proof fence 😂 letting little kids to get molested by local men hence why the government wanted to relocate the children. 😂 this is trash reporting.. dig up the thousands of bodies, but they dnt. skulls just dnt go away. talk about push a narrative.
It's not 100% accurate. Some of this is based on knowledge from propaganda information. It's hard to prove it's all true. So, to teach it in schools, parents can sue the education board for pushing propaganda. It may be all true. Who knows? But not all of it is proven
It's amazing how much is swept under the rug. I did a tour of Lake Argyle and felt a sense of sadness at the thought of the indigenous people displaced when the dam was created. I asked the tour operator directly and was told they have been asked not to talk about that history.
This is typical of Labor and the Liberals. They treat the Australian public like fools. Albo is worst. He is misleading Australian people with a vote based on ethnicity. Anyone can practically claim to be Aboriginal because the Liebor party made it is for people to this. The Uluru Statement of whatever it was is totally misleading. Many Aboriginal people did not support it but a select chosen number of people were involved. The Voice is totally dishonest because it fails to explain the implications of its implementation. It is vague. How can anyone come up with this nonsense?
John Pilger. The Great Writer of Australia's Dirty Secret, Aborigines, Documentary, and History Should be awarded the Noble Prize for Humanity and Honesty.
AWESOME and absolutely right💯‼️ I honestly thought I was the only person around that said this. I say it ALL the time. I wove it into the moral fabric in the raising of my children 💯‼️

I am living in central Europe, I have part of my family moved to au. I always considered Australia as beautiful country, with high level of moral, cultural life. We have gipsys minority in Slovakia. We are threading them terribly as society, according to my opinion. But we have at least admit and agreed the injustice of the past. Seeing the way in Australia.. Unbelieveable shame.

Hi, this was made 2013 the nation has been going through truth telling for a while the genocidal history is compulsory in our education , hence the shift in the nations conscious, what started off with a few 1000 non Indigenous protesting has evolved into over a 100 000 marching each invasion day ( Australia Day)
@@annanudniduck They are all brain-washed, mindless lemmings who have been indoctrinated over almost 40 years from a young age. The vast majority of Australians love celebrating Australia Day and have not voted for this to be changed. Every year in Perth 300'000+ people turn out for the Skyworks celebration until last year when the local council decides it is not going to do it any more. This isn't because of public opinion, it's a small number of people forcing others to conform to their minority view of the world. Question: Tell me, when you are marching in your protest rally, raging against the horrible outcomes of colonisation, do you ever think of the hypocrisy of doing that while you are wearing clothes and footwear, walking on a road between buildings, having driven there in you car, waving banners with written language on them, using public address systems that run on electricity, probably stopping off sometime during the day to buy instantly available food and water before using a flushing toilet to relieve yourself while recording everything on your mobile phone to share with the world on the internet to get validation? All of which you wouldn't be able to do if the culture that was here for tens of thousands of years continued into the present day unchanged. Just saying...
You ,Sir i have followed your truth for a long time i am a black African and i know the pain my ancestors went through and we the children are still enduring but i believe in God who does not make mistakes everything is TIME
Most of this isn't a secret in Australia unless you really don't WANT to know. I was taught much of this at school in 1970s. It's a secret to the rest of the world because they ABSOLUTELY aren't interested
sorry but your incorrect. In Australian schools we were taught enough to know that certain things happened and were happening to my mob .It was then up to YOU to continue on reading all the well available documents revealing the fine details. It's a lazy cop out to say"we weren't taught this at school" You just weren't interested or paying attention at that age. Njuntu pulya jukurra.
Not really,there are some who has been researching and following . Sad what they can do to the "savages" in the name if "highness " with their descendant in ignorance with their charade imposed to brainstorm the "savages" ......they are the .useless eaters hoarding STOLEN treasures after destroying entire nations all in arrogance ignorance and stupidity. They should just get lost
I wasn't taught the truth until I got to Uni in the 2000's studying a cultural heritage subject. My Nan was shocked when I would talk to her about it. She was taught that they drowned cause they couldn't swim...She was born in Dalby 1917....Me 1979....
Warren Snowden was a teacher at my school. He "taught history", but we hardly ever saw him. His brand of "history" was all about UNIONS and barely classified as "on the curriculum". Snowden was more interested in coaching football and playing teacher's union politics than he was in teaching anything practical. He was one of those politicians that spent a very long time "in office" and achieved practically NOTHING
breaks your heart we need a change for the better of our people and our younger generation as well as their future to come for better health care and education and living forever proud to be a strong aboriginal woman 🖤💛❤️
I'm a white South African. Moved to Australia during height of apartheid as a child. Mum exiled after working for Donald Woods paper for UK . Moved to Australia a year later Australia is nothing like South Africa. Aboriginal people only received the vote in the 60's and there is systemic racism however it's nothing like apartheid, which shocked me to the core, returning to SA as a young teen .
Dear John - may God with the spirit of kindness always surrounds you. All the best with kindest regards from the good old Vienna 🙏 Special thanks to youtube 🌹
Worth noting that the man recommending mass sterilization at the beginning of this documentary is the father of Australia's richest person - Gina Rinehart.
Nothing compared to what the seppos did to the Indians the Mexicans and the Hawaiians and the rest of the world Korea Vietnam Libia Afghanistan Kuwait ECT ECT ECT 😂😂😂😂
I got the wrong idea about this film from the title. But couldn't stop watching. Thank you to the creators for making this. It's a marvelous look at modern Australian indigeous hardship.
@@Mathilda5xpand all australians as well, particularly seemingly from 2019, australian death's are up 20 percent. It all goes alot deeper than people realise it seems; the wealthy and greedy seems to want to own all lands with few people occupying it. Seems they're accomplished in their efforts?
As a South African, I must save this video. I just don't believe this is going on in Australia, I am quite disappointed and disgusted that this is going on in such a rich country.
@darrellernst5493. Many do live in their traditional way. But, they also want houses, running water, supermarket/convenient foods, $$ & health care. Also, cars/fuel, guns, mobile phones etc. So, they also need to 'earn money' rather than rely on government handouts.
@@suecollins8199 And they would definitely get all that, if their basic needs were taken care of, just like the rest of the population. Love how you people would say just about anything to justify colonial injustices, to this day!
In 2015-2017, life expectancy at birth was estimated to be 71.6 years for Indigenous males and 75.6 years for Indigenous females. The gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians was estimated to be 8.6 years for males and 7.8 years for females. So i am not sure how the figure one third of aboriginals die before they are 45 is based on?
I'm not from Australia but i am recently interested in aboriginal Australia and their customs /culture, lately when i look into it i see stuff about a Yes/No referendum, can you explain what it's about (kinda simply?)
We’ve been here in Australia for 35 years and still experience blatant racism, especially the stigma put on us brown skin/dark skinned people. So I can ONLY imagine what our indigenous people would have been experiencing many centuries before us. Racism isn’t born, it IS BRED… by people who fear what they do not know and what they don’t WANT TO KNOW.. It is still strong in AUSTRALIA, not only out in the cities but strongly in remote communities. 😔
The racism here is disgraceful. Sorry to hear you experience racism. The only city where it's a bit progressive and has less racism ( albeit , this does not mean NO racism) is Melbourne. My African and First Nations friends say this about living here in Melbourne, compared to Perth or Queensland. I can't wait to leave Australia, it's a cold uncouth culture and it locks up asylum seekers, some have been locked up for 10 years. I don't know how they get away with it. Aus promotes itself as a PC democracy meanwhile it locks up kids as young as 10, no other first world nation has such a low incarceration age.
If it's such a horrible, racist hell-hole, why have you stayed here for 35 years? You must have come from somewhere pretty horrendous to want to endure the day to day nightmare that you feel Australia is. The great thing about this country is you are free to leave any time you wish.
It's terable hey I'm white and racism was so bad towards us in parts of Australia. Funny thing is they more white than me saying it's there land well fuck off we won it fair and square 😂😂😂😂
Yep the racism is on both sides, my hubby and I was walking across the road in Coffs hbr a couple of years ago a group of young aboriginal girls. Cursed us called us white f and c....was awful...so yes it is
@@BCl-dn4gn Most Australians have seen this behaviour from Aboriginals in their day to day lives but it's never reported on in the media. The only racism ever shown is the few times a year a Caucasian person is recorded on a mobile being racist. The media want to portray it as only occurring from one demographic. Fortunately, we all have the right to vote here and Australians saw through the overwhelmingly biased media coverage during the referendum and voted NO to the racist Voice proposal.
I was living near by to La Perouse in the early 70's & there is a small gaol built just off shore. The Aborigines of that area were locked in those damp horrid cells...just for being 'problematic'. I was a 10£ pom & very young & that place scared the life out of me...just by looking at the place.
Oh wow.... It's just mind blowing how cruel people (of all shades clothed in all kinds of excuses) can be over and over and unapologetically! One thing is clear though. The reason why even the greatest and most majestic ancient civilizations are now glorified in museums and history books is because we continue to fail to acknowledge that we all need each other. Humanity keeps making this mistake over and over... And over and over we will fall. We need to be one to progress perpetually.... . Why can't we just get it?
Just moved to Australia from New Zealand two months ago. I wanted to educate myself on the history of primarily around the aboriginal people and came across your documentary. This is so well done however at the same time very, very sad. It blows my mind how many people are so ignorant still, don’t do their research etc and that this is still happening, it’s disgusting 😢 Again, wonderfully done & thank you.
People are ignorant about this history, and it is by design, don't you think? After all, how can this history be considered compatible with the 'civilized' first world and their 'superior values'. It raises so many questions. It is a reminder, how important it is to break free from the mainstream beliefs, and do your own research.
Gary Foley's Koori website is how I educated myself. He's a legend, long term Indigenous activist, founder of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy ( one of the greatest land rights movements in history) historian and professor .
Sure does break your heart we need a change for the better of our people and our younger generation as well as their future to come for better health care and education and living forever proud to be a strong aboriginal woman 🖤💛❤️
Blaming the Aboriginal population for their intolerance to alcohol, sugars, grains and disease has to stop. White man has had thousands of years for their bodies to get used to these things.. Indigenous people have not had that luxury.
No-body forces it down their throat. It's their choice to spend their welfare money on alcohol, gambling and drugs. Whenever any government tries to stop the rot, do-gooders jump in and scream victimisation.

The commenter is clearly impressed with the documentary and found it to be very thought-provoking. They were surprised to learn that such atrocities were still being committed in "1st" world countries, and they enjoyed the no-holds-barred journalism of John Pilger. The commenter also makes an interesting point about the aboriginal peoples' relationship to the land, arguing that just because they did not own it in the same way that Europeans did does not mean that they did not have a right to it. I agree with the commenter that this is a very important documentary that everyone should see. It is a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle for human rights, and it shines a light on the dark side of colonialism. I also appreciate the way that the documentary challenges our assumptions about the relationship between humans and the land. It is a timely and important film that everyone should watch. Here are some additional thoughts on the documentary: The documentary is well-researched and well-made. Pilger does a great job of presenting the facts in a clear and concise way, and he also does a good job of weaving in personal stories to bring the issue to life. The documentary is very disturbing in some parts, but it is important to watch it because it shows the reality of what is happening to aboriginal peoples around the world. The documentary is also hopeful in some parts, as it shows the resilience of the aboriginal peoples and their determination to fight for their rights. Overall, I think this is a very important documentary that everyone should watch. It is a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle for human rights, and it shines a light on the dark side of colonialism.
55% of the Australian land-mass has been returned to Aboriginals as land-rights. If the modern, civilised society that is Australia is so horrible, then why aren't Aboriginals rushing to reject everything that came as a result of colonialism and return to their traditional way of life?
Well presented Every person in the World should know how Australia has treated and is treating it's people There's obviously media blocks Most people around the world are obvious to this abuse Abuse that sickens me to my soul
There's literally a ridiculous amount of privelidge afforded to them from free education and medicine to welfare and housing. How about them assuming some culpability for their impoverished estate?
such a shame, didn't know the extent of the blatant racism of the Australian system. As a didgeridoo player, I have tremendous respect for the culture of the oldest humans living on Earth.
I am so fed up with white supremacy and arrogance. And I am white and privileged. John Pilger will be missed. I am glad for The work he has done and shared with The world
On my travels i met an interesting woman who shared she used to be a social worker she was trained under oz fed govt to extract aboriginal children from their families. She refused to comply to extract the kids so they imprisoned her for 2 months before releasing her no charges... She thinks if her family did not push for her whereabouts she may never been released.
Beni Bjah - survivour 🎶 Marrugeku and Beni Bjah - this is Australia 🎶 Two incredible indigenous Australian artists and songs that give me goosebumps every. single. time. 🖤💛❤
I love John Pilger, old school journalist with integrity. I'll always listen to what he has to say even if I don't always agree with what he is saying.
Thank you for this excellent program. As a South African I am aware of what Australians did and still do to there indigenious people YET you were one of the countries that severely oppossed South Africa during "apartheid" ( this word is an Afrikaans word). How could you dare, while getting away with your own "apartheid"?! The world says nothing about Australia but we as white South Africcans were crusified...typical Western hypocracy.
It is not The People on the continent, it is the foreign owned and operated 'leaders' that have infiltrated it. They are having another go at them again NOW...... A Referendum for a Govt controlled "Voice" for the first nations people. We all know how their 'voting' games work. SELECTED not ELECTED. Sad Days for Australia.
They did well because Afrikaaners of South Africa have been proven to be the extremists of racism to a point that even other racists in the world find you people extremely unbearable to live amongst.
Kevin Rudd said sorry to the indigenous peoples of this country don't you know that song from little things big things grow..... Anthony Albanese copping flak as well for his acknowledgement of indigenous peoples.....and they aren't just politicians brother they the prime minister's Of This country
This is amazing to watch. As a hlf cast makes things make more sense why I got lied to about my heritage for over 25 years I didn't know I was half cast it was like my mum was ashamed about her past an what it was really like back then. My kids now are imbracing our heritage with the local elders at her skopl an myself having feeds and getting my business shirts made from them soon. Amazing people ❤️
Reading the comments, makes me wonder how the “Anglosphere” doesn’t realize that Canada, U.S., NZ, Australia and SA, have the same shared history because the type of colonialism that the Anglo Saxon Protestant man implemented was pretty straightforward. It was to eliminate, exterminate and annihilate anything that wasn’t him.
The 5 eye countries USA UK Canada Australia NZ and Europe have successfully maintained and PRESERVED their Brutal inhumane colonial emperial western system that everyone in the western worlds get to enjoy benefit and prosper from except the Black and Brown peoples of the Earth! BRICS Nations, Sovereign Countries and Nations are done with this evil deceitful western colonial system - BRICS Nations are already trading in their own currencies and dismantling the US debt-based printed paper dollar that these deceitful western systems depend on!
If the aim was to "exterminate" Aborigines, there would be none left today. They did that successfully in Tasmania where that was the aim. Stop being melodramatic! 🙄
18:00 proud of the past - "the corregated tin was newer." We lived in West Aus couple of years 1981ish. At Cragie Senor High School there was a couple of Abos. And where they sat - there was a wide circle around them as they never washed. Pilger does lay on the kindygarten accent a bit thick. I was told by uncle of Abos being set up in a house - they made a camp fire in middle of lounge and were using bits of the house as wood- I was told this around 1979. But -I had a friend in NZ who said he was over in Aus and was destitute - and Abos such as those huts took him in and were good to him when he really needed it.
That this is occurring in this time and age is absolutely unbelievable!!!!! The original people here in the states don’t have it much better!!!! Until “we the people” stand up and together to demand this $hit stops right now, nothing will ever change!!!! It’s infuriating!! Cheers
Aboriginals literally have more privileges and benifits here then white Aussies💀 please don't speak on stuff you know nothing off there's a reason my uncle who has wayyy more then enough to claim he's aboriginal doesn't you don't know why they have stereotypes all you forginer and immigrants don't you just think they're so peaceful
No matter what we say, or what who says, or what they say, At the End of the day the truth lies deep within each individual. The truth and original History will prevail. Having said this, we are all the same human beings and we are just a temporary visitor to Mother Earth. Unfortunately treating our neighbors in such a manner is so painful to see, no matter black or white. Everyone has emotions and feelings. Love all Serve all
Aborigines have lived for thousands of years. Nature has always provided for them, they were given a gift "The Dream World." But nature could not protect them from the minds of the greed, and now they live like animals, lost in this morden matrial world, forgotten. Shunted aside, robbed, and belittled of their rich knowledge of nature and life. People of Australia call Aborigines a menace to society because they are addicted to drugs and alcohol. Substances that were forced upon them, so they can be easily controlled by the minds of the greed. With all the hatred, with all the cruelty the Aborigines endured, their hearts are still pure, after all Nature has chosen the Aborigines to be the guardians of "The Dream World." I am a firm believer of karama🥺🥹🙏 I stated "they live like animals" because of what I saw in this documentary, I meant no disrespect to the Aborigines of Australia💗💞
As an Australian I’m ASHAMED with the way Aboriginals are being treated! 😢 How can our government allow this! I may be naive to all of what I have seen but change is needed ASAP! I’m speechless to things I have seen and my 💔 i believe more education is needed in schools to learn about the history and also to acknowledge that the aboriginal people are the first to walk our land ❤
Ok you're woke asf which either means you live in the city or are a white women and if you're neither then that's sad point is tis isn't still happening and a lot of town/rural Aboriginals aren't friendly and drink alot but the news just doesn't cover all the incidences even with alice springs the abc even blames whiye people for them acting like they do
I'm writing a essay about how social environment can shape representations in music, this documentary reminds me of the true evil all people are capable of and how, through skillful manipulation, they can win. Thank you for your hard work and dedication towards honest, reliable journalism
I feel so sorry. I did protest with the mob in Melbourne, and my good friend Kutcha Edwards gave me the biggest hug on free the sprites after not seeing each other for 12 years. If people could feel the love. No more of this. These are the people, not dirt.
@@petesmittPetey, did you know that we are the only western country in the world that does not acknowledge our Indigenous people in our constitution. The only one....
@@ShadowAussie Who cares.. I don't; Australia was invaded by the British and the original inhabitants dispossessed; that's a fact of history and trying to discriminate against non Aboriginal Australians, to 'acknowledge' Aboriginals as being different or special, is regressive at best and could be construed as racism. Australians should be equal, with no special treatment for any racial/cultural/gender/minority group.
you take a load of building materials out there ready to build the next day ,and when the builders get there, the materials are either smashed or missing by daylight.
Yep, so you'd think people would realise after all these years, we can't make them like us, conform to our ways or GGF'd. What we are doing isn't working! Why are people so scared to let it change and maybe let them decide for themselves. The only reason to keep the status quo is if you want to continue with the white Australia policy and genocide by stealth...
They are. The protest movement is huge, it's been building for years. I've been an activist for their cause and listened to their stories, histories, problems.
It is disgraceful the way humans treat each other. When this documentary came out, I went to the premier launch in Sydney with my mates. Then I went south to get out of the city for a week with another mate, both of us white. The documentary was showing locally and me and my friend were treated like scum because we were not aboriginal. It was like we were responsible for the rich white British colonials that colonised the world. John Pilger's doco caused us to be threatened with violence and then kicked off a beach... two women alone. I'm a first gen Australian, grew up poor with daily racism because my family were immigrants. Ironically, I was kicked off a beach as a kid back then too, because I was a 'wog' by white Aussies. Thanks John for a very sensationalist and emotionally provocative doco that was forgotten in a decade but still managed to do a bit of harm because from that day forward I no longer get involved in Aboriginal causes. Not my business. BTW...According to Wikipedia, Forbes, IMDb & Various Online resources, British journalist John Pilger's net worth is $114 Million. John is a for-profit 'activist'
In Australia we are about to hold e referendum, to either give the indigenous people a right to make recommendations to parliament or not.The Murdoch empire and the conservative sector of the population, including the alternate government are opposed.
Most First Nations tribes weren’t consulted about it. Many don’t support it. It’s more complex than it seems. First Nations people have never ceded sovereignty. Due to illegal changes made to the Aust constitution in 1973, a vote for the Voice means that they will cede their sovereignty. After surviving many genocides; wars; massacres; destruction of Country, culture, languages etc, having their sovereignty stolen from them via a sneaky referendum is quite despicable.
This well documented and researched documentary bought me to absolute tears, it’s so deeply disturbing and real. The Australian Government who are mostly English descent have NO SHAME or emotional connection to our indigenous peoples. Makes me sad and truly mad to think that these ignorant politicians treated and are still treating our indigenous peoples and their communities. The BIGGEST downfall of the Aboriginal peoples is they NEVER were educated because if they were, just like mentioned in the beginning of this documentary, the Governments we had and have today would NOT EXIST. Many Prays 🙏 to the Aboriginal peoples and Elders past & present ♥️🟡🖤🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛
Give them half of Australia as in the Communist Party's idea , as preferred by the godfather of Aboriginal activism Gary Foley. What we're doing is just wrong.
Thanks very much indeed for the video now I've known the reality in this part of Australia which hardly shows to the world, Great Thanks for your Documentary God be with You
i have been to rotnest island about 25 or more years ago.. thank God it was just a day visit and i didnt sleep in that place ! It is such a beautiful place tho! and those quokas ! I had no clue what the real history of the place was untill now!
To this day I have the deepest admiration and respect for the band Midnight Oil, who highlighted in song about these issues decades ago. The bureaucrats didn't want to know didn't want to hear, but us fans were educated like never before. A shout out to you Mr Peter Garrett!
The ignorance displayed in the interviews is so disgusting. I try to be impartial because of context, but it is difficult to accept how evil and prejudice these people are
This actually happened in canada ! A mining company was allowed to spoil the drinking water that has killed indigenous and to this day still they have no water !
@@mickyss7766 Are you justify the British behaviour and get over it, this is the first people's country, maybe you should leave, go back to you and your ancestors motherland. 😂😂😂
Thank you Sir (and staff) for this indispensable lesson in history, and present. Between this and Israel... It has been two very harsh lessons learnt in a few weeks, after some deeper research . A lot of love to the indigenous people of Australia, from Italy. White Australians? Just another result of the British Empire. And now we complain and turn into racism because 10k refuge seekers cross the Channel in search of a better life, happy to pick up those jobs nobody else wants to do, but that are important to maintain the comfortable way of life we are so used to...
My father grew up in Kempsey, there were Aboriginal communities there that were 100% government funded. The families were given modest but modern houses to live in, my uncle worked as a builder and was constantly sent in there to fix these houses because the residents would destroy the homes to the point that it was more comfortable to sleep outside. That is not a government issue that is a personal responsibility issue.
when has the government ever taken any personal responsibility with any of the disgusting things they have done to all races of people and still currently doing to this day...
I left high school in 2003 and was taught very little about the history of aborigines in my own country. I learnt more by working with and forming friendships with many aborigines in the min8ng industry. I used to fear aborigines because I grew up with parents in hospitality who had a lot of issues with aborigines but now I have a very strong admiration for their culture and who they are, very soulful and spiritual people with strong connection to country. I hope the younger generations realise how important their culture and customs are and learn them to carry them forward before this valuable information is lost.
Just cos 1 of us did you wrong doesn't mean all of us would. Just like if I met 1 racist white person I wouldn't automatically think all of them are. It's individuals
If you look at history, pretty much any country that has been colonised unfortunately these things have happened
Yes at the very least they should teach a lot more history in the Australian School Systems. We teach History about so many other Countries & we comprehensively cover every major War, but when it comes to our own Aboriginal History, its glossed over.

Great documentary. The minister of health of the Aboriginals also has an attitude. While they eat and live their best thes people and their generations are hungry, disadvantaged and left behind. Wickedness always starts from the top
Ask every single suburbs Aboriginal centre that is tax payer funded to provide for their communities, where the money is. It's Aboriginal people that steal from Aboriginal people.

It's amazing how much is swept under the rug. I did a tour of Lake Argyle and felt a sense of sadness at the thought of the indigenous people displaced when the dam was created. I asked the tour operator directly and was told they have been asked not to talk about that history.
This is typical of Labor and the Liberals. They treat the Australian public like fools. Albo is worst. He is misleading Australian people with a vote based on ethnicity. Anyone can practically claim to be Aboriginal because the Liebor party made it is for people to this. The Uluru Statement of whatever it was is totally misleading. Many Aboriginal people did not support it but a select chosen number of people were involved. The Voice is totally dishonest because it fails to explain the implications of its implementation. It is vague. How can anyone come up with this nonsense?
I know right, no matter how hurtful or embarrassing, the past is, it needs to be told.

Hi, this was made 2013 the nation has been going through truth telling for a while the genocidal history is compulsory in our education , hence the shift in the nations conscious, what started off with a few 1000 non Indigenous protesting has evolved into over a 100 000 marching each invasion day ( Australia Day)
@@annanudniduck They are all brain-washed, mindless lemmings who have been indoctrinated over almost 40 years from a young age. The vast majority of Australians love celebrating Australia Day and have not voted for this to be changed. Every year in Perth 300'000+ people turn out for the Skyworks celebration until last year when the local council decides it is not going to do it any more. This isn't because of public opinion, it's a small number of people forcing others to conform to their minority view of the world.
Question: Tell me, when you are marching in your protest rally, raging against the horrible outcomes of colonisation, do you ever think of the hypocrisy of doing that while you are wearing clothes and footwear, walking on a road between buildings, having driven there in you car, waving banners with written language on them, using public address systems that run on electricity, probably stopping off sometime during the day to buy instantly available food and water before using a flushing toilet to relieve yourself while recording everything on your mobile phone to share with the world on the internet to get validation? All of which you wouldn't be able to do if the culture that was here for tens of thousands of years continued into the present day unchanged. Just saying...

@darrellernst5493. Many do live in their traditional way. But, they also want houses, running water, supermarket/convenient foods, $$ & health care. Also, cars/fuel, guns, mobile phones etc. So, they also need to 'earn money' rather than rely on government handouts.

You are a very good person

@T.G988…. Billions already pumped into aboriginal needs according to gov figures whats to show for this?…
@T.G988… Easy!,… Jacinta Price and Warren Mundine have explained the reasons for voting NO…
We’ve been here in Australia for 35 years and still experience blatant racism, especially the stigma put on us brown skin/dark skinned people. So I can ONLY imagine what our indigenous people would have been experiencing many centuries before us. Racism isn’t born, it IS BRED… by people who fear what they do not know and what they don’t WANT TO KNOW.. It is still strong in AUSTRALIA, not only out in the cities but strongly in remote communities. 😔
The racism here is disgraceful. Sorry to hear you experience racism.
The only city where it's a bit progressive and has less racism ( albeit , this does not mean NO racism) is Melbourne. My African and First Nations friends say this about living here in Melbourne, compared to Perth or Queensland.
I can't wait to leave Australia, it's a cold uncouth culture and it locks up asylum seekers, some have been locked up for 10 years. I don't know how they get away with it.
Aus promotes itself as a PC democracy meanwhile it locks up kids as young as 10, no other first world nation has such a low incarceration age.
If it's such a horrible, racist hell-hole, why have you stayed here for 35 years? You must have come from somewhere pretty horrendous to want to endure the day to day nightmare that you feel Australia is. The great thing about this country is you are free to leave any time you wish.

Yep the racism is on both sides, my hubby and I was walking across the road in Coffs hbr a couple of years ago a group of young aboriginal girls. Cursed us called us white f and c....was awful...so yes it is
@@BCl-dn4gn Most Australians have seen this behaviour from Aboriginals in their day to day lives but it's never reported on in the media. The only racism ever shown is the few times a year a Caucasian person is recorded on a mobile being racist. The media want to portray it as only occurring from one demographic. Fortunately, we all have the right to vote here and Australians saw through the overwhelmingly biased media coverage during the referendum and voted NO to the racist Voice proposal.
I was living near by to La Perouse in the early 70's & there is a small gaol built just off shore. The Aborigines of that area were locked in those damp horrid cells...just for being 'problematic'.

The commenter is clearly impressed with the documentary and found it to be very thought-provoking. They were surprised to learn that such atrocities were still being committed in "1st" world countries, and they enjoyed the no-holds-barred journalism of John Pilger. The commenter also makes an interesting point about the aboriginal peoples' relationship to the land, arguing that just because they did not own it in the same way that Europeans did does not mean that they did not have a right to it.
I agree with the commenter that this is a very important documentary that everyone should see. It is a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle for human rights, and it shines a light on the dark side of colonialism. I also appreciate the way that the documentary challenges our assumptions about the relationship between humans and the land. It is a timely and important film that everyone should watch.
Here are some additional thoughts on the documentary:
The documentary is well-researched and well-made. Pilger does a great job of presenting the facts in a clear and concise way, and he also does a good job of weaving in personal stories to bring the issue to life.
The documentary is very disturbing in some parts, but it is important to watch it because it shows the reality of what is happening to aboriginal peoples around the world.
The documentary is also hopeful in some parts, as it shows the resilience of the aboriginal peoples and their determination to fight for their rights.
Overall, I think this is a very important documentary that everyone should watch. It is a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle for human rights, and it shines a light on the dark side of colonialism.
55% of the Australian land-mass has been returned to Aboriginals as land-rights. If the modern, civilised society that is Australia is so horrible, then why aren't Aboriginals rushing to reject everything that came as a result of colonialism and return to their traditional way of life?
I watched this video report for the second time and it shocked and appalled me even more.
Well presented Every person in the World should know how Australia has treated and is treating it's people There's obviously media blocks Most people around the world are obvious to this abuse Abuse that sickens me to my soul
And the abuse of their children ...
Remember, Australia is just British people left on an island. But when something bad happens (Australians did it)
There's literally a ridiculous amount of privelidge afforded to them from free education and medicine to welfare and housing. How about them assuming some culpability for their impoverished estate?
@@Johnorekunow272 ruh roh, looks like someone never read any books about what really happened, or a book for that matter
such a shame, didn't know the extent of the blatant racism of the Australian system. As a didgeridoo player, I have tremendous respect for the culture of the oldest humans living on Earth.
I am so fed up with white supremacy and arrogance. And I am white and privileged. John Pilger will be missed. I am glad for The work he has done and shared with The world
On my travels i met an interesting woman who shared she used to be a social worker she was trained under oz fed govt to extract aboriginal children from their families. She refused to comply to extract the kids so they imprisoned her for 2 months before releasing her no charges... She thinks if her family did not push for her whereabouts she may never been released.
Keep fighting, the good fight and don't let anything, hold you back.

I love John Pilger, old school journalist with integrity. I'll always listen to what he has to say even if I don't always agree with what he is saying.
Thank you for this excellent program. As a South African I am aware of what Australians did and still do to there indigenious people YET you were one of the countries that severely oppossed South Africa during "apartheid" ( this word is an Afrikaans word). How could you dare, while getting away with your own "apartheid"?! The world says nothing about Australia but we as white South Africcans were crusified...typical Western hypocracy.
It is not The People on the continent, it is the foreign owned and operated 'leaders' that have infiltrated it. They are having another go at them again NOW...... A Referendum for a Govt controlled "Voice" for the first nations people. We all know how their 'voting' games work. SELECTED not ELECTED. Sad Days for Australia.
Sounds like a problem
They did well because Afrikaaners of South Africa have been proven to be the extremists of racism to a point that even other racists in the world find you people extremely unbearable to live amongst.
You sound like a victim
Did the tables really turned !
And Canada boycotted South Africa too- their First Nations people live in squalor and have high suicide rate too.
John is the God of journalism. Real stories.
Cultural Marxists love misery and racial division. Don't fall for the trap..
you know why these politicians will never say sorry because its an admission of guilt
Um they do and the whole country says sorry every year
Kevin Rudd said sorry to the indigenous peoples of this country don't you know that song from little things big things grow..... Anthony Albanese copping flak as well for his acknowledgement of indigenous peoples.....and they aren't just politicians brother they the prime minister's Of This country
This is amazing to watch. As a hlf cast makes things make more sense why I got lied to about my heritage for over 25 years I didn't know I was half cast it was like my mum was ashamed about her past an what it was really like back then. My kids now are imbracing our heritage with the local elders at her skopl an myself having feeds and getting my business shirts made from them soon. Amazing people ❤️
Let's be honest if you really are half caste and you couldn't tell your mum was aboriginal you probably less then half caste

Reading the comments, makes me wonder how the “Anglosphere” doesn’t realize that Canada, U.S., NZ, Australia and SA, have the same shared history because the type of colonialism that the Anglo Saxon Protestant man implemented was pretty straightforward. It was to eliminate, exterminate and annihilate anything that wasn’t him.
Too simplistic otherwise there would be no one in this vid.
The 5 eye countries USA UK Canada Australia NZ and Europe have successfully maintained and PRESERVED their Brutal inhumane colonial emperial western system that everyone in the western worlds get to enjoy benefit and prosper from except the Black and Brown peoples of the Earth!
BRICS Nations, Sovereign Countries and Nations are done with this evil deceitful western colonial system -
BRICS Nations are already trading in their own currencies and dismantling the US debt-based printed paper dollar that these deceitful western systems depend on!
Exactly.
If the "anglo saxons prodistant man" wanted to ahnilate indigenous people why are are they still here? LMAO clown 😂😂😂😂😂😂
If the aim was to "exterminate" Aborigines, there would be none left today. They did that successfully in Tasmania where that was the aim. Stop being melodramatic! 🙄
sad to see my people suffering in australia, love from Tamilnadu-INDIA
Omg,I dont think theres a word/words to describe the the evil treatment of these people.God be with them.❤
Doomed ringleader
18:00 proud of the past - "the corregated tin was newer." We lived in West Aus couple of years 1981ish. At Cragie Senor High School there was a couple of Abos. And where they sat - there was a wide circle around them as they never washed. Pilger does lay on the kindygarten accent a bit thick. I was told by uncle of Abos being set up in a house - they made a camp fire in middle of lounge and were using bits of the house as wood- I was told this around 1979. But -I had a friend in NZ who said he was over in Aus and was destitute - and Abos such as those huts took him in and were good to him when he really needed it.
It’s Aboriginal NOT Abo.

That this is occurring in this time and age is absolutely unbelievable!!!!! The original people here in the states don’t have it much better!!!! Until “we the people” stand up and together to demand this $hit stops right now, nothing will ever change!!!! It’s infuriating!!
Cheers
Aboriginals literally have more privileges and benifits here then white Aussies💀 please don't speak on stuff you know nothing off there's a reason my uncle who has wayyy more then enough to claim he's aboriginal doesn't you don't know why they have stereotypes all you forginer and immigrants don't you just think they're so peaceful
No matter what we say, or what who says, or what they say, At the End of the day the truth lies deep within each individual. The truth and original History will prevail. Having said this, we are all the same human beings and we are just a temporary visitor to Mother Earth. Unfortunately treating our neighbors in such a manner is so painful to see, no matter black or white. Everyone has emotions and feelings. Love all Serve all
God Bless YOU JP, great courage, truth undeniable -
I will share this with everyone I possibly can✨
Aborigines have lived for thousands of years. Nature has always provided for them, they were given a gift "The Dream World." But nature could not protect them from the minds of the greed, and now they live like animals, lost in this morden matrial world, forgotten. Shunted aside, robbed, and belittled of their rich knowledge of nature and life. People of Australia call Aborigines a menace to society because they are addicted to drugs and alcohol. Substances that were forced upon them, so they can be easily controlled by the minds of the greed.
With all the hatred, with all the cruelty the Aborigines endured, their hearts are still pure, after all Nature has chosen the Aborigines to be the guardians of "The Dream World." I am a firm believer of karama🥺🥹🙏
I stated "they live like animals" because of what I saw in this documentary, I meant no disrespect to the Aborigines of Australia💗💞
Aboriginals are like 1 of the most humble tribe people I know so sad they weren't giving the respect they deserved.
Try hanging around the front of Perth train station any evening...see how much "respect" you get. 🙄
As an Australian I’m ASHAMED with the way Aboriginals are being treated! 😢 How can our government allow this! I may be naive to all of what I have seen but change is needed ASAP! I’m speechless to things I have seen and my 💔 i believe more education is needed in schools to learn about the history and also to acknowledge that the aboriginal people are the first to walk our land ❤
Ok you're woke asf which either means you live in the city or are a white women and if you're neither then that's sad point is tis isn't still happening and a lot of town/rural Aboriginals aren't friendly and drink alot but the news just doesn't cover all the incidences even with alice springs the abc even blames whiye people for them acting like they do
I'm writing a essay about how social environment can shape representations in music, this documentary reminds me of the true evil all people are capable of and how, through skillful manipulation, they can win. Thank you for your hard work and dedication towards honest, reliable journalism
I feel so sorry. I did protest with the mob in Melbourne, and my good friend Kutcha Edwards gave me the biggest hug on free the sprites after not seeing each other for 12 years. If people could feel the love. No more of this. These are the people, not dirt.
This is so sad! We all need to reunite as Australian and say enough is enough. Fix this now.
Aboriginal activists want Aboriginals to be given priority over other Australians, like with the Voice.
@@petesmittyou didn't do well at school hey pete
@@petesmittPetey, did you know that we are the only western country in the world that does not acknowledge our Indigenous people in our constitution. The only one....
@@ShadowAussie
Who cares.. I don't; Australia was invaded by the British and the original inhabitants dispossessed; that's a fact of history and trying to discriminate against non Aboriginal Australians, to 'acknowledge' Aboriginals as being different or special, is regressive at best and could be construed as racism. Australians should be equal, with no special treatment for any racial/cultural/gender/minority group.
@@petesmitt You poor thing. You don't even know what discriminate means. This is why we can't have nice things.......
you take a load of building materials out there ready to build the next day ,and when the builders get there, the materials are either smashed or missing by daylight.
Yep, so you'd think people would realise after all these years, we can't make them like us, conform to our ways or GGF'd. What we are doing isn't working! Why are people so scared to let it change and maybe let them decide for themselves. The only reason to keep the status quo is if you want to continue with the white Australia policy and genocide by stealth...
BS
Mud brick housing is a part of solution.. but the government cant exploit or make money from it.
Why build tin roof housing in 40 degree heat 🤦
Thanks for bringing this more into the light ❤
Its so insane that this has been and to a too large extend still is reality. Thank you for making this documentary.
Our pleasure.
Hope the young Australians can now force their government to change laws and treat the aborigines fairly
Sad to say , never going to happen 😢 just like the American Indians white America does not want them and sees them as a blot on the landscape 😢
We can only hope.
They are. The protest movement is huge, it's been building for years.
I've been an activist for their cause and listened to their stories, histories, problems.
Great doc! The USA of the southern hemisphere!
It is disgraceful the way humans treat each other. When this documentary came out, I went to the premier launch in Sydney with my mates. Then I went south to get out of the city for a week with another mate, both of us white. The documentary was showing locally and me and my friend were treated like scum because we were not aboriginal. It was like we were responsible for the rich white British colonials that colonised the world. John Pilger's doco caused us to be threatened with violence and then kicked off a beach... two women alone.
I'm a first gen Australian, grew up poor with daily racism because my family were immigrants. Ironically, I was kicked off a beach as a kid back then too, because I was a 'wog' by white Aussies. Thanks John for a very sensationalist and emotionally provocative doco that was forgotten in a decade but still managed to do a bit of harm because from that day forward I no longer get involved in Aboriginal causes. Not my business.
BTW...According to Wikipedia, Forbes, IMDb & Various Online resources, British journalist John Pilger's net worth is $114 Million. John is a for-profit 'activist'
You propheted from what your people did to the Original people u r as guilty because u did nothing to stop the hate
In Australia we are about to hold e referendum, to either give the indigenous people a right to make recommendations to parliament or not.The Murdoch empire and the conservative sector of the population, including the alternate government are opposed.
Murdoch: Trump, Cameron, Abbott
Most First Nations tribes weren’t consulted about it. Many don’t support it.
It’s more complex than it seems. First Nations people have never ceded sovereignty.
Due to illegal changes made to the Aust constitution in 1973, a vote for the Voice means that they will cede their sovereignty.
After surviving many genocides; wars; massacres; destruction of Country, culture, languages etc, having their sovereignty stolen from them via a sneaky referendum is quite despicable.
@@catlifechannel3886 Agree
With good reason!
I’m Swiss, I have lived in Australia and dream to come back every single day. I loved it so much. But not this unfair way to treat humans. So sad. 😢😢😢
Never let the truth get in the way .
This well documented and researched documentary bought me to absolute tears, it’s so deeply disturbing and real.
The Australian Government who are mostly English descent have NO SHAME or emotional connection to our indigenous peoples. Makes me sad and truly mad to think that these ignorant politicians treated and are still treating our indigenous peoples and their communities.
The BIGGEST downfall of the Aboriginal peoples is they NEVER were educated because if they were, just like mentioned in the beginning of this documentary, the Governments we had and have today would NOT EXIST.
Many Prays 🙏 to the Aboriginal peoples and Elders past & present

Incredible documentary that I sadly watched only now, after I've been living in asutralia for 3 years after this documentary came out.
Thanks very much indeed for the video now I've known the reality in this part of Australia which hardly shows to the world, Great Thanks for your Documentary God be with You
i have been to rotnest island about 25 or more years ago.. thank God it was just a day visit and i didnt sleep in that place ! It is such a beautiful place tho! and those quokas ! I had no clue what the real history of the place was untill now!
To this day I have the deepest admiration and respect for the band Midnight Oil, who highlighted in song about these issues decades ago. The bureaucrats didn't want to know didn't want to hear, but us fans were educated like never before. A shout out to you Mr Peter Garrett!
the opening scene highlights Pilger's two-faced journalism
The ignorance displayed in the interviews is so disgusting. I try to be impartial because of context, but it is difficult to accept how evil and prejudice these people are
indigenous people of Australia are treated so poorly, by the Government hidden away in the outback
Aboriginal people deserve better than that.😢
Wow…thank you for this upload!
It’s so shameful, I wonder if the child abuse and violence was as bad then as now .
This actually happened in canada ! A mining company was allowed to spoil the drinking water that has killed indigenous and to this day still they have no water !
Disgusting human beings that can do this to other human beings. Im australian but I wouldnt dream of treating my fellow humans like that.
You were raised well, thank goodness, there are still good people around.

Thank you Sir (and staff) for this indispensable lesson in history, and present. Between this and Israel... It has been two very harsh lessons learnt in a few weeks, after some deeper research . A lot of love to the indigenous people of Australia, from Italy. White Australians? Just another result of the British Empire. And now we complain and turn into racism because 10k refuge seekers cross the Channel in search of a better life, happy to pick up those jobs nobody else wants to do, but that are important to maintain the comfortable way of life we are so used to...
Trying to watch it…..but stubborn tears won’t allow me to.
My father grew up in Kempsey, there were Aboriginal communities there that were 100% government funded. The families were given modest but modern houses to live in, my uncle worked as a builder and was constantly sent in there to fix these houses because the residents would destroy the homes to the point that it was more comfortable to sleep outside. That is not a government issue that is a personal responsibility issue.
when has the government ever taken any personal responsibility with any of the disgusting things they have done to all races of people and still currently doing to this day...
Some houses are riddled with cancer causing asbestos??😢 Just a question.
@@majorjohnathanlamey9918 and?
The 'personal responsibility issues' are linked to generational trauma due to colonisation and re-traumatisation.
