'The Gate' begins with an excerpt from a speech made by Charles Perkins, who was a prominent Australian activist in the 1960's & 1970's -- he was responsible for 'The Freedom Rides' -- a protest movement that revealed for the first time the shameful discriminations suffered by Indigenous people in Walgett, and around Australia. This story acknowledges the struggle for social change for Indigenous Australia -- creating dialogue around the issues that effect young people today - such as teenage pregnancy, school attendance and lack of opportunities in remote and regional communities to name a few. But most of all, this song is an anthem for change -- a call to arms for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people around Australia, to 'stand up and be counted' -- take responsibility for change, and work together to create a positive future for all Australians. Thanks to Roslyn McGregor, James Pike, Anne Dennis, Tanya Coelho, Rob Holden, Walgett Local Aboriginal Lands Council, Susan Lawrence, Outback Arts, Walgett Shire Council and the Walgett community. We pay our respects to the Gamilaraay / Yuwaalaraay people - traditional owners of the country upon which this story was told. *Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are warned that photographs/videos may contain images of deceased persons, which may cause sadness or distress. STARRING Tyson Tyera Jones Marnia Khauri Margaret Sullivan Suzie West Monique Sullivan Allan Kennedy Dale Jones LYRICS Let's take a ride way back in time To 'The Gate' in 1965 My Kamileroi people lived a life In the shadow of cultural genocide No pride, no rights like a living hell Black warriors banned from the RSL Flora and fauna, break the spell Walgett mob got truth to tell Freedom fighters - freedom riders White students stood beside us Despite those laws that tried to divide us Still one people - blood unite us Past behind us - future ahead But we never be forgetting about the bloodshed bred Raise ya hands, shake a leg, One mob, one people. Nod your head. Time's right now to stand up and be counted Black fella, white fella, gunna get it together to do better Can you hear this listen when we shout it Black fella white fella. Blue, white, red, black and yella. Yo - Time passed, not much has changed In some ways things stayed the same Still have a hard time playin' the game Still get held back by fear and shame Kids having kids, think school's a joke No education, no job, no hope Rope gets tighter - gap gets wider Time to release that spirit inside ya Anyone can talk the talk It takes courage to walk the walk Coz this is a new age and the main attraction Close that gap, cause chain reaction Shoulder to shoulder, black and white See through the darkness, shine the light Takes understanding, knowledge and insight If you're with me, bounce on the track tonight Time's right now to stand up and be counted Black fella, white fella, gunna get it together to do better Can you hear this listen when we shout it Black fella, white fella.
