Hello, my name's Geoffrey Shannon Gabula from Tennant Creek.
I want to talk about the atrocities done to Aboriginal people - past and recent.

In my grandfather's day, my father's father, they lived in the bush. 
My people are Walpari people - they lived in the Tanami.
And my grandfather was shot in Hanson Creek. The Coniston massacres, 
massacres happening all along the Coniston and Orlando Rivers
and Hanson Creek and there were bad things have happened after that.
Our kids and the women and all that were shot because of 
pastorals coming onto our land in the late 1920's and they just were very cruel.
