SETTLER COLONIAL POLICY

First Nations people in Australia face ongoing attempts of dispossession, oppression and, elimination by the settler state. These attempts often osculate between explicit and chaotic degradation of First Nations people and the day to day systemic and often bureaucratic decisions carried out through policies and processes that claim to be doing good. My small contribution to this area of inquiry examines the relationship between settler colonialism and social and development policy.
