This is a speech from Stan Grant The Australian Dream. What is his message in this part of the speech?
The Australian Dream is rooted in racism. It is the very foundation of the dream. It is there at the birth of the nation. It is there in terra nullius. An empty land. A land for the taking. Sixty thousand years of occupation. A people who made the first seafaring journey in the history of mankind.......... None of it mattered because our rights were extinguished because we were not here according to British law.
Grant wants audiences to know that the values of the Australian Dream is different from reality because of the way the Aboriginal people were treated.
