Aletha Penrith speaks at rally in Melbourne to mark 2nd anniversary of NT intervention

Rallies were held across Australia on Saturday 20 June to mark the 2nd anniversary of the NT Intervention. Around 200 attended a rally at the State Library in Melbourne, and a large proportion then marched or otherwise made their way to Trades Hall for further discussions and planning. Among the speakers was Aletha Penrith from Redfern, Sydney. Others included Gary Foley and Valerie Martin, whose speeches have already been posted on this site.

Aletha's speech is given here in full as to content, but a few seconds have been cut here and there from pauses in order to keep within the 10-minute limit set by YouTube.

I love Aletha Penrith. She speaks the truth and is so funny.
