Are we finally seeing action on Aboriginal water justice?   There’s a famous image from 1975 of Prime Minister Gough Whitlam pouring red earth into the hands of Gurindji leader, Vincent Lingiari, as a symbolic gesture of returning land back to the Gurindji people. It’s a powerful image and represents an important turning point in Australian land rights policy a point when the federal government finally started to acknowledge that this nation state has been built on stolen land and that it was past time for restitution. But something that really strikes me about this image on a symbolic level, particularly as an academic that has spent their whole career focused on water, is just how dry the earth is.
