About this listen

Read in December 2021. In this episode, Noel revisits one of the most profound injustices in modern Australian history—the 1978 Queensland government takeover of the Aurukun Mission. This story traces the trajectory of a proud and self-governing Wik people, betrayed by the state, and forced into a legacy of alcoholism, violence, and despair.
