SBS Living Black: WA Tent Embassy Protests Native Title Deal
http://www.sbs.com.au/yourlanguage/aboriginal/highlight/page/id/203583/t...
16 Feb 12: "Nyoongar resistance to a proposed native title deal covering the Perth area, is continuing to grow. A new Tent Ambassy on Heirrison Island was set up to protest the touted one billion dollar deal. The government's package would put 500-million dollars into a trust fund and 500-million into an education fund - no cash. ... For elders like Uncle Richard Wilkes, surrending his custodianship of his land is unthinkable, and the proposed deal will not provide the benefits the government claims it will." Michelle Lovegrove

Michael Anderson backs Nyoongar Embassy in Perth
http://indymedia.org.au/2012/02/19/michael-anderson-backs-nyoongar-embas...
19 Feb 12: "The last surviving co-founder of the Aboriginal Embassy in Canberra has expressed his support for the Nyoongar Embassy encampment set up on Heirisson Island in Perth a few days ago and now under threat of eviction.
Michael Anderson, leader of the Euahlayi tribe, endorses the call by Robert Eggington, spokesman of the Nyoongar Embassy, that it’s the Perth City Council that should "move on".
State, Territory and federal governments should now be seeking legal advice on the true nature of the Aboriginal sovereignty claim as it will not be going away, Anderson writes in a media release.
"Our assertion of sovereignty over this continent is real and legally just. It is in English Law, and the English and the Australians have no choice but to deal with it in a mature and just manner," he argues."

Dave Suter of Occupy Perth condemned the "ongoing land grabs by the State Government in the south-west".
"Occupy Perth supports the Noongar embassy and stand with them against the institutionalised racism of the state toward Aboriginal people.""

http://tracker.org.au/2012/02/noongar-tent-embassy-remains-defiant/
20 Feb 12: "Protesters at an Aboriginal tent embassy in Perth have vowed to defy authorities following an early morning police raid that led to angry scenes when vehicles and tents were removed.

Socialist Alliance Western Australia: Nyoongar Tent Embassy defies police eviction
http://socialistallianceperth.blogspot.com.au/2012/02/nyoongar-tent-emba...
19 Feb 12: "Over fifty police and half a dozen council rangers moved in to try to evict the Nyoongar Tent Embassy before 6:30am this morning (January 19). Police marched in in force ("an armed military operation") and went tent to tent to force people to pack up. This move was an outrageous attack on Aboriginal sovereignty, on the right to protest and on common decency. Shame on Barnett who was invited personally to come down to the Embassy to discuss the issues involved. Instead of taking up the offer, he sent in the police. In the circumstances, people in the Embassy decided to take down tents and remove vehicles. However the Embassy remains strong and shows no signs of giving up. It is still important for people to come down to the Embassy to give support."

It was an early morning appearance while there is no-one on staff at The West Australian, however the call out went to news media, with Channel Ten and The Australian having arrived. ...

20 Feb 12: "PROTESTERS are free to remain on Heirisson Island as long as they aren't breaking any rules, the City of Perth said today.

It's understood protesters packed down tents and removed cars from the site to comply with a City of Perth order but jostled with police officers and jeered them with chants of 'shame, shame' in the process. Members of the group are currently meeting on the site to determine their next move."

The deal, which would prevent any further claims, includes parcels of land and a trust fund believed to be worth a total of about $1 billion."

http://www.smh.com.au/wa-news/no-special-treatment-for-protesters-police...
19 Feb 12: "Police have dismissed suggestions that the Noongar protesters who set up camp at Heirisson Island were being given special treatment.

Protesters ignored the notice and remained on the island until police and rangers took action and made them remove the vehicles and camping gear at 6am yesterday."

http://www.greenleft.org.au/node/50054
17 Feb 12: "A Nyoongar Tent Embassy was established on Perth’s Heirisson Island on February 12 after the state government proposed to extinguish Nyoongar native title. The protesters made an urgent call for support after Perth City Council made its second threat to close the embassy down on February 17. Many of those taking a leading role in the Embassy are local Aboriginal activists recently returned from the 40-year commemoration of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy in Canberra. Many Nyoongars have been outraged by WA premier Colin Barnett’s plans to make a $1 billion deal with the South West Aboriginal Land and Sea Council (SWALSC)." Chris Jenkins, Perth

They are calling it the Noongar tent embassy and have vowed to stay there until a better deal is reached."
Green Left: WA gov't deal to extinguish native title provokes protest
http://www.greenleft.org.au/node/50002
12 Feb 12: "Supporters of a proposed deal between Nyoongar people and the WA state government say that it has the potential to "close the gap" between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people. Yet opponents say the deal is no good. The state government has proposed a deal that would put $60 million a year for 10 years into a trust fund. After the 10 years, the government says this "future fund", would be used to develop "economic opportunities" for Aboriginal people. ... local Aboriginal activists protested outside the February 8 meeting at which the proposed deal was put to representatives of the Nyoongar land claim." Alex Bainbridge, Perth

In scenes reminiscent of angry protests in Canberra on Australia Day, Mr Barnett was forced to remain inside for more than 30 minutes after the meeting ended due to security concerns."
9 News: WA tent embassy mirrors Canberra
http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=8416200
8 Feb 12: "In a move mirroring Canberra, activists have established an Aboriginal tent embassy outside the grounds of Western Australia's parliament. ... Soon after the premier was escorted by security guards to his car amid angry scenes, the protesters turned their attention to a grass area outside Parliament House, erecting a two-man tent with an Aboriginal flag and a placard reading "Nyoongar Tent Embassy". Noongar Aboriginal activist Marianne Mackay, who was at the recent Australia Day protest in Canberra, said the tent was a precursor to establishing a permanent site."

ancestral creators, where connection to country

of self and community. At the other extreme, the
legacies of incursion and assimilation are a
'living hell'. The in-between is uneasy, lined

http://www.asgmwp.net/ElimattaWinter2011.pdf
Winter 2011: "The Intervention is yet another example of the appalling treatment the Aboriginal People of Australia have been subjected to in such a short period of time compared to thousands of years of survival. Sinem Saban and Rev. Dr Gondarra supported by the Yolngu people and cinematographer, Damien Curtis, have created a sensitive and realistic view of the plight of those who wish to live a more traditional life in their homelands and of those who appear to be dispossessed."

Summer 2010: "Local resident and journalist, Jeff McMullen introduced "Our Generation", the film by Sinem Saban and Damien Curtis which we were there to see. The film explored in depth the Federal Government Intervention into Aboriginal Communities in the Northern Territory. Jeff had told us that the film’s producers were not having any success in having the film shown on government or commercial media outlets and they were having to screen it in local community halls to show the community at large just what was involved in the Intervention. It is basically a war on Aboriginal culture. The dispossession of the Aboriginal people is simply continuing in a new guise." Carol Gerrard
