Premier Barnett: Cease the closure of homeland communities

Common Grace is urging the Western Australian government to cease any decisions on the funding or closures of 150 Indigenous homeland communities.

Common Grace is urging the Western Australian government to cease any decisions on the funding or closures of 150 Indigenous homeland communities.

We want a full impact assessment and public consultation process, as the voices of those for whom these communities are their homes, must be heard.

We have a petition that Christian elders will deliver to the Premier here. Please add your voice.

#SOSBlakAustralia is organising a National Day of Community Rallies across Australia on May 1st.

We are inviting the Australian churches to stand alongside Aboriginal Australians in calling for the forced closure of Aboriginal communities to be stopped. Please consider attending a rally, why not invite a friend and bring a sign? You can find out about the over 70 rallies being organised here.
