Patty Mundine: ‘I am from Baryulgil, where the asbestos mine is. Weekends we used to be up in the mines playing in the asbestos the dust and whatever. The problem I got now is my lungs: I can’t breathe. I only have a quarter of a lung on the left-hand side. I am on oxygen day and night, 24 hours. The thing is, because we’re Aboriginals, I feel we are left out of everything and doctors don’t want to recognise it … I have me little cries every day. So it doesn’t [get better], you know. I do it every day.’
