Eddie Albert fought in defence of Australia at a time when Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander vet
Eddie Albert fought in defence of Australia at a time when Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander veterans did not have equal access to the soldier-settler grants, amongst other exclusions and inequities. His descendant Trish Albert speaks with pride about the strength that Eddie found in his wartime contribution – and his strong sense that he had earned equality. Trish also speaks movingly of the people’s movement for recognition and urges all Australians to be part of putting this right. “I believe the Recognise campaign is a movement that we each need to be a part of,” she says. “We all need to stand up to make a difference.” -- source link
