small suburban church in the service is conducted by a pastor of sri lankan origin. here they pray to god and ask him to protect the country's borders ah, on following the national elections, aster daniel nie leah and his congregation are in 7th heaven. the conservatives have just won a large majority, and the new prime minister is a devout christian, and an advocate of stricter immigration controls. these of visio, as i said, the one again, prime with a man of god. the pastor is 1st and foremost, a politician. he has founded

a party to defend a christian australia in the face of what he calls a muslim invasion today. all 307, his dad islam is growing. why is it because people are struggling to judge and texas. i've been sold and they have gone into mosque all over europe. we see the rest. you get the message did was a standing go to watch. if you don't watch a new destination, this did the enemy office does it with that says i'm gotten this, not his style. i'm going to this. have you go to come against that attack right now? glad for something to have been offered schooling. daniel nie leah was persecuted in sri lanka for belonging to a christian minority and sought refuge in australia 22 years ago. he soon became an ardent nationalist. he says he's not against the presence of different ethnic groups, but claims is long, is incompatible with the values of his adopted nation. the pastor is conducting

a religious war world. this is wally with his love gone ranita northeast. and their consent was supposed to been cut off the same isn't as well as this in that regard with my skin color was an advantage for me. i thought a thing i would have found upon to have body to satirize upholstery on the split up of us who deck a false mind to god's lisa and keep australian australia. he has made his skin color the banner of his own unrestrained opinion. since the early 2 thousands, he's appeared on many television programs, huddling his anti islam message. we have a choice nation of what's rally a read again, follow the code on how to follow. you saw me shabby a law and be placing this nation, all follow the bible, and be a free and democratic society. every most is potentia. please for edison

to breed. unfortunately destitute, shall who oppose to mos looting, thus, be personally felt that there was no need for mo, most who abused in australia. i despite pastor ny leah and his message, there are now several 100 mosques in australia. most of australia's 600000 muslims live in sidney or more precisely in la camber, a suburb of the city, the largest mosque and australia is here. oh, during ramadan, it can accommodate a 10000 people a night. but more recently, prayers have been tinge with fear. friday prayers are coming to an end at the la tampa mosque. ah mont, and australian of lebanese heritage, ensures the safety of the congregation. boy, how are you? how's it going?

good. good. we're praying here tonight. yeah. whose you father was then i come here every night i got on was on love. some household hoffman has called upon australian politicians to put a stop to the stigmatization of muslims. we hope that it would open the eyes and minds of people in the hearts to steer away from any defensive language. and that can lead to acts that people willing to act upon these while acts. everyone has their own agenda and sometimes they play into that rhetoric for the sake of the political gains. ah, and unfortunately sometimes they just got overboard. in the face of such hatred, some muslims have decided to act with a few kilometers from downtown sydney and association is working to dismantle that cliches that have become synonymous with the muslim community. founded by sure,

and australian of lebanese origin, this citizens initiative group comes to the aid of the impoverished ha. i was born in the country. my parents came here in i, you gotta make me choke on. my parents came here in the seventy's. and um i came from a once home country, the fact that i was allowed in a to be born in a public hospital for free. i went to a public school for free arm. you know, i was able to have my children. australia gave us so much, i wanted me and the muslims that have migrated to his country upon his country to give back to this beautiful country cottage trail like serves parents, many of australia's muslims arrived in the 1970s. but for them and subsequent generations, integration remains difficult. dealing with prejudice is part of every day life for

show. many times, many times i've been told to go back to my country ash. and i love because i said on this is my country. i was born here. oh, where do you want me to go? we got to grocery shopping. we got a lot of people say a very racist remark out loud. like i don't blow us up. all you terrorists? oh sama! what we're hoping that we break in that barrier and reducing his them a phobia in this country. steve is a christian. he became a volunteer for the association a year ago before that he too was prejudiced against muslims. i want you to think what, what about a 9 understand that not old on no christians, a better a positive example that counters the slogans of

a racist minority. the christ church attack was perpetrated by brenton tarrant, a white australian supremacist. his actions were unanimously condemned by all political parties in australia. public outrage has since forced the most radical extremists to keep a low profile. we have an appointment in melbourne with a man who knew the terrorist. tom sewell is the founder of a small, far right extremist group, called the lad's society, as he's being closely monitored by intelligent services. sewell asked to meet us in the street, didn't choose the place by chance. well, if you look around, you'll see that there's not so many australians. if you had a family home, how would you feel about all these people living in your basement? like it was some share house, you know, before i was born,

this was the white working class. you know, and now while we've been almost the only white people in this entire sub, you know, so it shows that the colonization is almost complete. the authorities have been watching the group since christ church sewell had actually tried to recruit brandt and terence several years ago, i had conversations with him online because i noticed that he displayed similar beliefs to us. he didn't want to be involved in what we're doing. and he said that he was moving to new zealand, and that was the last communication that i had with him. this was several years ago . the government considers that enough of an association that we're to be treated as terrorist. we have to keep our meetings and locations secret. this is where the lad society usually meets. in this video, the organization is presented as an ordinary private sports club for men only. in reality, it's a secret society with very clear political objectives. so

we need to searing what they call the great replacement sewell and his group dream of an all white state. our goal is to create an ethno state. our goal is to create what australia used to be, and we need to organize ourselves so that we have our own parallel institutions, our own land around cities. so that when the conflict does come, when the geopolitical instability does come, we're safe and preserved. and we have all of our things already in place to create a new nation, like soule, the australian, far right aspires to create in apartheid state based on racial segregation. although australia has never actually seen such extremes, whites and indigenous australians have lived a part for years. the district of red vern and sydney is home to indigenous and migrant communities. it has long grappled with poverty, crime, and drugs. it's also experienced police violence and riots.

the streets of redfern became a bloody battlefield on the 14th of february, 2004, a 17 year old aboriginal boy had died earlier that afternoon. he was impaled on a fence, leading police on his bike. hundreds of protesters took to the streets, armed with paving stones and molotov cocktails. they battled officers all night long. the situation in redfern has improved in recent years. partly thanks to the efforts of shane phillips, one of its community leaders. this former boxer collects his protege at 5 in the morning 3 times a week. he believes discipline will keep them on the straight and narrow. musk is going to be a slave to 7 got in the morning. if kids have to be up fourish 3 a to be picked up at 1 o'clock. we want them to learn about the strength of lp. one

of the long routine and discipline and focus and doing this early in the morning. lots of government, graham's also the progress driven by deficit to what's wrong of athletes. our program is designed by us and it's driven by strength as what these kids with many of them have a police record. the hope is that mutual respect and resilience will prevent relapse. it james joined the program a week ago, but 21 year old has just served a 2 year sentence for robbery. atmosphere

with dissipated types of model from outside and with a a few years ago. police and indigenous youngsters would regularly clash in redfern . so to ease tensions, shane invited the chief of police to put gloves on. superintendent andrew holland and his men now come every week to train with local youngsters. with

crime has dropped 70 per cent in redfern since 2010. sidney's. former slum is slowly getting back on its feet, while many indigenous people struggled to find a place in society, others have achieved success. miriam corolla is a prime example daughter of an aboriginal mother and an english father. she has become a household name as a journalist, how long miriam presents the t v news for a b c,

one of the biggest australian broadcasters. her program is regularly watched by more than 1000000 australians. i so pinch myself when i think about what i do and where i am, can have an idea of what you want to do. but sometimes you might be reluctant to give it a go, so it's always nice to think that you can help people understand that it's not impossible. it is still unusual to see average people on t. v. craig, her director, has worked for a b, c for 20 years, but he has rarely worked with native australia these days. we are seeing a little more diversity. miriam is still very much an exception known it is getting better and certainly it's getting better in the media as opposed to say drama for instance, which is still very much typical. more to strive to look. miriam is

a respected journalist to day, but her career has been an uphill struggle. if i hadn't this person need even to find that discrimination at school, bullying, racism and things like that. i wouldn't have gone on to finish high school because i wouldn't have gone on to universe city. and without those things, then my options for even having a career was being really, really limited. censor, divorce. miriam has been raising her 6 year old son alone. he like his mother is growing up between 2 cultures. his father is a white australian, and i mean, he knows he's aboriginal, it was quite funny. and it just shows how innocent children are because he was asked about it last year. he said, yes, i'm average. no, my dad's aboriginal and you in studies background in irish, in german. so it's quite fair with blue eyes and everything. i just all,

it's funny why it's kind of cure because he doesn't associate with a particular appearance. miriam grew up in the 1970s. in those days, it was uncommon to see mixed couples in australia. for a long time, she grappled with her own identity. hi, this is me with my sister, my mom will little little little little. this is my mom when she was go for a long come, i really struggled with this idea of i'm not accepted by mainstream society, but am i really aboriginal because, you know, i am highly educated. i've been to universe fee a work in the media. you know, i don't leave necessarily in a community such and those sorts of things that people typically associated weeping . i'm personal. i'm not necessarily fitting that box. but some united times gone on . we realize that, you know, you can be aboriginal and all the rest miriam hopes her

story will inspire other young, aboriginal people. how people a think what you and she's optimistic about the future stores there? no, we still have extraordinary problems. we've in our economic disadvantage, we'd incarceration and we have one of the world's worst rights of youth suicide in indigenous communities. i'm sorry, it goes to show that it's something very wrong. do i have heart? yeah, i do. yeah. already my life is a world away from that of my mom and my grandmother. i'm able to have drains and great sized goals and i think for my son, even more say so. yeah, there is heart. we'll see how he gary, ah, miriam grew up in sidney. a large urban area full of opportunities. but the further you get from the big cities, it's a totally different picture,

primarily in the north of the continent. over 4000 kilometers from sydney beyond the australian bush and the wild plains lies darwin. it's the capital of the northern territory. the country's most northerly state darwin is the drop off point for native australians hoop left the bush and come to the city. often without work or a place to stay hundreds and up on the streets. there looked after by an aid organization called lira key, a nation after the regions largest tribe kyle and his partner patrol the streets every day. i guess come in from the communities and sometimes it you know, they come here which will 1st city area. well, my wallclear over there. yeah. morning. what or how

i rather well, thank you mark you nation. you ok on the streets that i want to get it in just for the $1.50 that my money bob will come back in a bus more better for you taking it back to the wagon with us. the organization can only offer emergency health. it doesn't have the means to provide shelter for all of the cities homeless. we've been here. we've really, since he's been years in down when the days over kyle and his partner head back to their base in the early morning, another leora key a team takes over its mission

is to find those who spent the night in custody and bring them back to a safe place. good morning with soon as we start taking them away, we'll come and pick you up and then take your friend, deborah. i'm just i put you out bra. kevin has been doing this for 20 years. will he's watched his community gradually deteriorate some of them bad drugs now that i've come here like arson, stop law, that some of them now taking that stuff to in this part of to for them to can i get back to normal or what month with the ones that are being taken away from what it was still running away from well clear screens.

a rests are most often made for the public consumption of drugs or alcohol. and most of those are native australians that we are ready to go. critics say the darwin, police unfairly target aboriginal people with drugs, alcohol, misery in darwin. many aboriginal people seem to be lost between 2 worlds between their own and the one imposed on them by white settlers colonizing their lands. in the late 18th century,

the new arrivals from britain tried to eradicate the aboriginal people. first, they used weapons, then they organized a breed out policy. for decades, ruling powers tried to sometimes quite literally whiten the black population. aboriginal children were also forcefully taken from their parents, placed in convents or foster families. they were taught to live like good little white children. this practice continued until the early 1970 s. more than 100000 children are believed to have suffered this fate. these young victims are called the stolen generation and history is repeating itself. why do we want hundreds of people take to the streets of sydney to protest the actions of the authorities? they're demanding their children back. why don't we want? why don't we? why?

today, aboriginal children are 10 times more likely to be removed from their families than white children. half of them are placed in institutions or in white families, far away from their own community. hazel collins is a victim of such forced removals. why do we, why she organized this demonstration outside the regional parliament? this aboriginal grandmother is battling what she considers to be cultural genocide . we have more clearly sitting up they did. c hiding do us as this. c now jim table, what is best for us? how we should live? well then moss: i go ah thank goodwood ever. you paid the land that are going to go a not like us through our children. why that they call jo. tiger,

why they heritage takes them to be something that they're not ah, like thousands of other aboriginal families, hazel hollands has been separated from her grandchildren. one of them, ryan was placed with different white families. why? i hoping he'd never mind. i guys are audio or lima mobile adam. originally my mom had everything kinda well and it was a happy kid until then. now they come in to fight you from region. are everyone you know it was a complete join nottingham through them not. i mean, they later are very hard for them because they're growing up non non engaging warriors. aboriginal, they do repair differently. we. they are non just just mom and dad. but

as a community i died right? that got all the children grow up, losing their identity that i know they're relying. busy where they come from, how long did you stolen? in just 10 years, the number of aboriginal children placed in foster families has doubled to 18000 across the country. to get a better understanding of the reality. behind these figures we're meeting a mother who's been separated from her children for 6 years. she lives in new castle. a coastal town northeast of sydney were not allowed to show her face that forbidden by australian law. her anonymity preserves the identity of her children. so they pitches of my youngest son,

and this is one of my daughters when, when she lived with me. and this is my daughter, the actual father was taken. the very last contact that i had with the full kids. it sort of makes me sad because even though my daughter's quite happy if the last memory that i had to say my kids together, i and i know that they were happy to say me and i, when they did say me, her children were all taken away from her because at the time she had a drug problem that was 6 years ago. now she leads to normal life as a job and a house. yet she still forbidden any contact with her children. my children live 20 minutes from me up the road. so i know where my children live, i know what school like i go to. so the system will not let me see. my children will not let me speak to my children on the phone. they have completely, ostracize me from my children's life completely. the foster care's had convinced

the children that i'm afraid to them. so this is the image that my children have of me, even though i work in child protection. i'm a social worker. so you know, a lot of completely turn my life around and it has major no answer difference. like many aboriginal mothers, you know, she was herself removed from her family as a child none of my mother's children were removed. we were all separated in the system. we all ended up with addiction problems, all ended up with incarceration problems as children removed. so the cycle has not been broken, just put under a different policy and called a different name. but it's the same generational genocide practices happening. and basically we have no decision making power in this country at all. so we are completely vulnerable to these institutions to exploit our rights. she could very

well lose her children forever. their foster families have started adoption proceeding. a law was passed in 2018, allowing them to do so after 5 years of custody and denying the mother and opportunity to appeal i ah, what's making the headlines and what's behind them? dw news africa. the show that the issues have been the continent. life is slowly getting back to normal. yeah. where on the streets to give you in the reports on the inside our correspond with on the ground reporting from across the continent. all the trend stuff, my talk to you in the 90 minutes on
