Australians against Aboriginal Racism and Forced Land Acquisition : The group of about 200 people converged on Roma Street in the CBD to bring attention to the forced removal of 14,000 Indigenous children from their families.About six per cent of the national Indigenous child population is in out-of-home care, more than ten times the non-Indigenous rate, the National Aboriginal Strategic Alliance to Bring the Children Home (NASA) reports. The Brisbane Sovereign Grannies Group (BSGG) and Grandmothers Against Removals (GAR) spoke at the rally and said the Stolen Generation is ‘continuing’. “Nothing has changed for over 170 years. They’re stealing our children, they’re stealing them from the mothers when they’re still in their hospital beds,” Aunty Pat Leavy, a senior member of the BSGG, said.
