I keep hearing White people aren't native to Australia so they shouldn't care about immigration. They built the entire country up. Here's a good video from a native in her own words. https://t.co/GLr1su1CKi

Video Transcript AI Summary

I was born among the sand hills in my country. There were no white people. No white people. We slept without blankets. We wore no clothes, completely naked. We used to travel around and go hunting on foot. We'd catch large iguanas, bandicoots, blue tongue lizards, and possums. We'd eat every bit of these animals, even crush the bones. The first time I saw an airplane down near the stock route. We thought the white people might kill us. We hid in a wattle tree, stayed there overnight. My uncle was a stockman; he guided us to Balgo Mission. The priest gave us lollies. No. No flour. Later on, we traded bush tucker for flour. The Catholics were good and generous. They taught us little by little until we gradually learned English and understood it. We were baptized with holy water. No more sin.

We'd eat every bit of these animals, even crush the bones and eat them too. My father and mother would both go hunting. My sister and I would stay near the camp and hunt for small lizards. We'd track thorny devils following its tiny tracks, until we could find one feasting on ants. We would catch it and look around for more. Then we would cook and eat them and save some for our mother and father. Yeah. The first time I saw an airplane down near the stock route. Speaker 1: Dock route. Plan, come down.
