The event is primarily being organised to protest the
racist NT intervention into Aboriginal communities, and to fight against its
extension into other communities. In particular, local Aboriginal people are
concerned about Labor MP Peter Garrett’s remark on May 26, “We should be
introducing it [income management] here, in my electorate, in [the Sydney suburb of] La Perouse”.
The event aims to promote awareness of the continuing attempts by developers and the NSW government to take over the Redfern Block, one of the few Aboriginal-controlled housing projects in urban Australia.
