"Under the present laws, the removal of Aboriginal people from their land could have permanent ramifications."
—
The ‘Little Children are Sacred’ report was commissioned by the Australian government to falsely justify the recent Aboriginal Intervention in the Northern Territory. This A2/three poster series is a typographic response to prevalent and pervasive government rhetoric, raising the possibility that the stolen generation is simply entering a secondary, continuing phase. It highlights the ever-present, destructive narrative of Australia's relationship with its indigenous people, and visually references the alarmist, newspaper headline aesthetic of a (not-so) by-gone era.
