Several of the clauses of the Stronger Futures bill are very worrying. It does away with recognizing any indigenous rights / rites of the children and forbids these children to participate in normal ceremonial practices for example Sorry Days when an elder or person of the community passes. These day's can go on for days.
If the child does not go to school even more restrictions are put in place. This legislation also leaves no place for any further home schooling of any children. Therefore excluding them from the option of learning both culturally and academically. This is Genocide. This type of control is set to be rolled out to all centrelink recipients.
