Personal Statement

I want the world to know the truth about what’s been done to us. A lot of white people think we had it good but I had a terrible life, I’m telling you. The people in the homes I was at and the police in Australia, they put me through hell. Kevin Rudd said sorry and he thinks that’s the end of it. He opened old wounds but nothing has been done since to rectify things.
