Aboriginal Council Evicting a White Town – References

Mintabie #Eviction #Discrimination

I look at the case of Mintabie and the eviction of an entire town. Looking at a recently published article from the ABC and a government report it seems like the residents are being discriminated against based on their race because they will need a permit to even access the land. Essentially the aboriginal authority can create an ethnic state and restrict public access to their territory.
