Thank you Colac Herald.
Why is it acceptible to photograph and publicate the remains as if they are part of a freak show? Propped up and on full display for the viewing public. This same question was asked when the Barongarook Creek remains were disturbed during construction works. Would it be deemed acceptible to publish images of remains dug up in the Colac cemetary? Of course not! I find the pictures to be grossly inapropriate and a sad reflection on how Aboriginal remains can be treated with such indignity and dis-regard for their human worth. For my human worth.
At the time of publishing the photographs the Colac Herald believed the images depicted a possible murder. The Colac Herald has removed the photographs from its website in the wake of evidence suggesting the remains are those of an Aboriginal person from a burial site. – Online editor
