A redevelopment program — also known as “Cemetery Renewal” — is ongoing at Karrakatta Cemetery. This process involves the mass removal of headstones and plot markers to make way for new graves.
The government agency responsible, the Metropolitan Cemeteries Board, claims that redevelopment is “dignified” and “respectful” — but we think these photos prove otherwise.
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. … And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth.”
