Back Deck Rehearsal

'Sorry, Queen Barongaroo'records aust's former prime minister refusing to say 'sorry' to aboriginal custodians who were living in sustainable harmony for at least 50,000 years,while he eroded their self- determination,landrights,health,culture & enterprise & at the same time, accelerating the 200 years of rape & exploitation responsible for the greatest species extinction rate & irrepairable eco-damage(esp.uranium & coal mining,& old growth forest logging).Ironically, Queen Barangaroo was removed from her place of spirit,while governor phillip occupied it as aust's parliament house.She died during childbirth in white hands against her will,leaving her husband,Bennelong,to work on reconciliation,against her advice. he was taken to england for 2 years, returning as an alchoholic, unable to help his people.Today, Bennelong is known as prime-minister's residence, & Barangaroo, is an elite shopping/residential complex.Sad parallel to american history, & n.young's 'Pocahontas'.Like a t-shirt said....'this country has a black history'.
