- Sacred land and official secrets 15.07.2005
- In the early 1970s, many Aboriginal people living in Sydney were homeless and there was a serious overcrowding of what housing did exist. With no permanent housing they constantly faced eviction and racial discrimination in the private rent market. As a result of this lack of affordable housing, a group of Aboriginal people squatted in empty terraces on Louis Street in Redfern, in December 1972.
