“In 1953, multiple bombs were fired in Emu Field which is 320 kilometres north of Maralinga which is situated in South Australia. I presume that you may not be aware of this event. The local aboriginal group, A__n__angu were affected dearly by this event. The A__n__angu walked barefoot, slept on the ground and had no clothing. The bombing left poisonous gases in the air and the A__n__angu people were oblivious to that. Why? England was given permission to take nuclear tests in the area. This is an event that isn’t highly known about, but it should be. Families were destroyed, diseases were spread and newborns became deformed or unhealthy and failed to live for long. We are sitting here. In Australia. Roaming other people’s land. We’re not getting poisoned or bombed. Those aborigines were treated like they didn’t even exist. We could sit here and think of it as history, or we could act and never let it happen again.”
