In Australia and the Northern Territory in this day and age, I am as a non indigenous person out of place wherever I go and wherever I am.

This discomfort has grown on me because the focus of government and the priorities of organisations is increasingly directed at First Nations people, then our plethora of arrivals from overseas – the rest of us who were in place, have been shunted into the third class category.

I have come to feel out of place in the country in which I was born.
