Koori Mail: Frontier wars remembered on ANZAC Day
[scroll down page] http://www.koorimail.com/index.php
25 Apr 12: "A SMALL contingent of Aboriginal people and supporters marched outside the Australian War Memorial in Canberra this morning to commemorate those killed during Australia's frontier wars. Although not officially part of the ANZAC Day Parade, the group led by Canberra Aboriginal Tent Embassy co-founder Michael Anderson brought up the rear of the parade, flanked by police. Mr Anderson said it was time that wider Australia faced up to its history of Aboriginal massacres, and recognised the Aboriginal people who not only fought for their own country during the colonial invasion but also for Australia in every major conflict overseas."

Lest We Forget the Frontier Wars
- Anzac Day march in Canberra
Michael Anderson said "Last year we started
Lest We Forget the Frontier Wars by joining on behind the
Anzac Day march in Canberra and we received enormous
support from the public at this time.
Now we need to keep it going.
We have commenced a process to highlight the wars fought on
Australian soil since 1788, when our country was taken by
superior force, at gunpoint, and those who stood in the way
were shot.
What we need to do now is to keep identifying that there
has been warfare; that blood has been spilt on the wattle;
and there is an ongoing war of attrition against Aboriginal
Peoples to this day. ...
Joining the Anzac march is NOT a protest.
It is a remembering of the wars and the losses of those
who suffered."

The Wire: Indigenous Australians mark Anzac Day in their own ways
Produced by Tim Roxburgh

24 Apr 12: "Julia Gillard will be commemorating ANZAC day at Gallipoli, but there are some chapters of our war history much closer to home that some indigenous Australians will be trying to draw attention to. Scholars like Professor Mick Dodson say that the contribution of Indigenous war veterans hasn’t been sufficiently recognized. Other groups will be commemorating wars and massacres that aren’t traditionally remembered at ANZAC day - the conflicts that occurred during white settlement.

Koori Mail: Honouring our diggers
[scroll down page] http://www.koorimail.com/index.php
25 Apr 12: "ABOUT 500 people gathered in the Sydney suburb of Redfern this afternoon for the annual Black Diggers march. The crowd comprised of war veterans, their families and friends, community leaders and politicians commemorated the contribution of Aboriginal servicemen and women. Pastor Ray Minniecon told the Koori Mail the march was about ensuring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander diggers got the respect they deserved. "They fought in every war and they're our black warriors but a lot of them didn't get the benefits of other diggers," Pastor Minniecon said. "We want to make sure history does not repeat itself. We want to make sure all our warriors are recognised in this country.""

http://treatyrepublic.net/content/50-aboriginal-trackers-left-behind-aft...
"Between 1899 and 1902, fifty Aboriginal black trackers were summonsed by the British forces in South Africa to join the Boer war effort. Griffith University's Indigenous research fellow, Dr Dale Kerwin said that the black trackers came from all over the country but very little else is known about them. He claims they were left behind at the end of the war in 1902 because they were denied re-entry into Australia under the Immigration Protection Act, known as the White Australian Policy."

23 Apr 12: "Media statement by Ray Jackson, Indigenous Social Justice Association
On Tuesday April 24 at 1.30pm we will be holding a rally outside the NSW Parliament House to protest the violence and abuse of the NSW police as exampled by the circumstances at Kings Cross and five police-related deaths in custody so far this year already. ...
The April 22 shooting of two Aboriginal teenagers in a stolen car at Kings Cross focuses the mind on just how violent are the NSW Police Force and the police in the rest of this country.
I do not condone car theft (and yes I have suffered having my car stolen) or any other crime for that matter but I certainly would argue that the crime is hardly a hanging offence.
The allegedly stolen car had six young Aborigines, aged between 13 and 24, inside of it when the police drew their guns and fired through the windscreen. Why couldn't they shoot the tyres out? ... "

24 Apr 12: "Today several hundred people rallied at the NSW Parliament House in response to the dramatic police shooting at people in a stolen car. Two people are in hospital after they were shot by police in the allegedly stolen car as they drove through the busy main drag of Kings Cross on Saturday night. Mobile phone footage shows police punching a 17 year old in the face while he is lying face down on the ground, immediately after being dragged from the car. In the footage, the teenager is bleeding from gunshot wounds. Today the Indigenous Social Justice Association called for an independent investigation into the police actions.

23 Apr 12: "A race-based approach to solving the problems in our indigenous communities is doomed to failure. OF ALL the lies that underpinned racial segregation in America and apartheid in South Africa, ''separate but equal'' was one of the biggest. Today, indigenous Australians suffer terrible inequities, but this nation formally separates the provision of basic government services as a means of ''bridging the gap''. I believe this separation - and the political and bureaucratic paternalism it embodies - is a factor in the decades-long failure to deliver anything that remotely resembles equality for indigenous Australians."
