The last of the three aboriginal girls who famously walked a thousand miles across Australia – to escape internment after being kidnapping by the government – has now died.
I cover their story in my second book, focusing on Molly Craig/Kelly, who made the journey twice, after the government abducted her once again. The second time, she walked back while carrying one of her daughters, Anna, on her back. Three months after making it back, the government kidnapped Anna again. She grew up being told she was an orphan, and only learned late in life that her mother was alive. Tragically, Molly died mere weeks before she and Anna were to be finally reunited.
The daughter left behind was Doris Doris Pilkington Garimara, who reunited with Molly 21 years after their separation. She wrote Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence about the escape (and manhunt for) Molly, Daisy, and Gracie.It was turned into a movie in 2002.
“This photo was taken one week before her death. She chose it for her obituary because as she said, “I look so good for someone almost dead!” Her brief time diagnosed with inoperable cancer gave her mere days to live.”
“A final message Ellen wanted to share was about the fat shaming she endured from the medical profession.
Over the past few years of feeling unwell she sought out medical intervention and no one offered any support or suggestions beyond weight loss.
Ellen’s dying wish was that women of size make her death matter by advocating strongly for their health and not accepting that fat is the only relevant health issue.”
Fatphobia is deadly.
Your fat hatred kills people.
People who are loved, people who are desperately missed.
This is utterly shameful and emblematic of the total lack of regard for indigenous Australians ingrained into the racist “justice” system of this shit country
Dungay died at the Long Bay jail mental health ward during a cell transfer after he refused to stop eating a packet of biscuits. Five immediate action team officers physically restrained him in the prone (face down) position and he was injected with a sedative by a Justice Health nurse.
In footage shown to the court and partly released to the public, Dungay said 12 times that he couldn’t breathe. An expert medical witness testified on Tuesday there were a number of points during the restraint when a medical professional could have recognised the warning signs of asphyxia and stopped the onset of what he believed was a fatal cardiac arrest.
