Buried Truths
Respecting Huskisson’s Heritage
by
Shirley Fitzgerald
“This story has all the elements for a fine NETFLIX show – History, Community, Developers, Conflict, Police arrests, and Violence. A plucky historian and a researcher, the establishment of a community group. A mystical spiritual place, Indigenous history. It is very likely that this decision will be looked at very closely for a long time to come.
The land was gifted to the Anglican Church to tend to the spiritual guidance of the community and they decided to on-sell the land. It turns out this is a great way of transferring wealth from indigenous peoples across the world to the Church and then on-selling it to developers … but it was stolen in the first place. ”
