The concerted effort by the Australian Government in recent years to preserve many buildings that were built from convict labour demonstrates the value that our society has placed on retaining the bricks and mortar links to our historical origins. This was not always the case however as our convict beginnings…

It exists because white Australian public believe that Australia is a post-racial society and claim to be anti-discrimination while ignoring increased incarceration rates, deaths in custody, and lasting effects from political wrongs committed against indigenous Australians.
