The Spin

Left narrative

Too many Indigenous children are being removed from their families and culture nationwide — changes are urgently needed in this sector. Australia must empower Aboriginal-controlled organizations, offer allowances and support for First Nations people to step forward to care for their kids, and take into consideration that colonization and past mistreatment still affect these cases.

Guardian

Right narrative

Race focus is exactly what has eroded Australia's foster system, even leading to Indigenous children being put back into dangerous situations under the veil of protecting Aboriginal cultural heritage. It would be absolutely disgraceful for the country not to revamp its approach regarding adoption. The safeguarding of children must come first.
