Discrimination (Apartheid) against Natives............... 1963 in WA !!!!

’Western Australians (and Australians in general) like to think of themselves as ‘fair-minded’, egalitarian and tolerant with a proud history of racial diversity. It is curious how we have managed to obliterate our real history with this white nationalist myth-making.This is the South West of Western Australia sheep and farming town of Gnowangerup in August 1963. There was what they called a ‘colour bar’ is most areas of the town.Following a complaint from Noongars Lloyd Eades and Richard Nundle Superintendent K.T. Johnson investigated and reported Aboriginal (Noongar) people were banned from entering shops and here at the local Gnowangerup Memorial Hall, where they played movies on a Saturday night, they had a cordoned off area called the ‘Native Section.’ It consisted of 52 ‘wooden’ seats in an area separate from the 250 seat ‘White section’ with ‘comfortable folding leather type of seat.’More Noongars standing outside wanted to attend but the ‘Native section’ was full even though there were loads of vacant seats in most of the ‘whites section.’ Mrs Kanzler, who ran the evening refused to let anymore Noongars in and certainly wouldn’t let them sit in the ‘white section.’ The Superintendent who made the complaint and supported the Noongars noted that all the excluded held full time jobs in the town.Most towns in the south West had a similar setup.

This is Apartheid in Western Australia in 1963.Source: SROWA. AU WA S47- cons1525 24-02/20 Gnowangerup - Native matters.
