SHAME on you Jenny Macklin — Federal Indigenous Affairs Minister!

Human rights become difficult and complex only when denied!

You party of oppressors, suppressers, dispossessors and defectors from truth

SHAME on you Jenny Macklin — Indigenous Affairs Minister!

A party for the future cannot be built nor disguised with age-old lies

You party of non-consulters, assaulters, insulters and defaulters of rights

Your hollow words are diseased, no growth will spring from ring barked trees

When governments govern with racist law, who is it they REALLY govern for?
