not all Blak or Whyt


Emma Garlett writes that a mining company's heavy draw on groundwater is causing permanent damage to the natural environment. She cites people who live in the area and have already seen damage.
Her proposed "fix" is one-eyed and disingenuous.

Garlett's apparent hatred of whyt Australia blinds her to alternate views.

Yes blak Australians may live on and love the land. They may have a special connection due to their heritage.

Yet whyt Australians may also love their land.
Even people who live in a city we may want to protect and preserve the natural, cultural and historic environment.
Both blak and whyt Australians may want to protect the environment. For various reasons. Including love of our country.

Garlett's blak bias destroys the impact of her final sentence:
Our laws must consider the needs of all stakeholders.
Yes. All stakeholders. Blak and whyt.
