Human Rights Day Rally demands justice for Kumentjaye Briscoe
IRAG: http://rollbacktheintervention.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/mr-human-righ...
6 Dec 12: "The family of Kwementjaye Briscoe, a young Aboriginal man killed in custody in the Alice Springs watch house on January 5 this year, will rally alongside supporters on Human Rights Day to demand justice and that charges be laid against police officers responsible for his death.
Kwementjaye Briscoe was taken into custody for public drinking on January 4. CCTV footage shown at the coronial investigation shows police officers assaulting Briscoe before leaving him bleeding and unconscious, lying face down in a cell where it was later concluded he died of positional asphyxiation.
A petition calling for the Department of Public Prosecutions to lay charges against the police officers has received more than 30,000 signatures and will be presented to the Chief Minister’s office to mark the anniversary of Briscoe’s death. ...
The Human Rights Day rally starts at 4pm on December 10th on the Alice Springs court house lawns."

Petition by Trisha Morton Thomas, Alice Springs, Australia

"On 4 January 2012, my nephew T. Daniels Briscoe died in police custody. ... The Coroner’s findings are, in our view, sufficient for the Director of Public Prosecutions to investigate and pursue charges for negligent manslaughter. On behalf of our family and community, I’m asking for charges to be laid against police for what was done and for real changes to be implemented, rather than empty words. Please sign the petition, and encourage everyone you know to help and lend their support."

Stop the Intervention Collective Sydney: NT Aboriginal Elder calls for repeal of 'Stronger Futures' at Sydney Human Rights Day forum
http://stoptheintervention.org/facts/press-releases/nt-aboriginal-elder-...
5 Dec 12: "Stop the Intervention Collective Sydney (STICS) is holding a forum this Thursday night, December 6 to mark the United Nations' Human Rights Day. Speakers will also reflect on the twenty year anniversary of Paul Keating's famous "Redfern Speech", which recognised the horrific impact of colonisation on Aboriginal people.
The forum, starting 6:30pm at the Tom Mann Theatre (136 Chalmers St, Surry Hills), follows the release of a comprehensive evaluation of the income management system last week which provides clear evidence of ongoing and systematic discrimination against Aboriginal people.
Rosalie Kunoth-Monks OAM, a senior Aboriginal Elder from the Utopia homelands in Central Australia, will address the forum, demanding the repeal of "Stronger Futures" legislation. These laws continue the imposition of the Northern Territory Intervention for a further ten years.
Mrs Kunoth-Monks says that the NT Intervention is a return to the colonial-style policies Keating spoke against, and has done enormous damage to her community.
"What this is about is our survival. We have been traumatised by the NT Intervention. The decision to continue with these policies under 'Stronger Futures' for a further ten years must be immediately reversed." ... "

In his stirring December 10, 1992 address on Aboriginal injustice, Mr Keating called on non-Aboriginal Australians to open their hearts and recognise they had dispossessed Aboriginal people and smashed their way of life. On Thursday, Rosalie Kunoth-Monks, an Aboriginal elder from the Utopia homelands, will reflect on the former prime minister’s words and the passage of time at a Sydney Human Rights forum."

6 Dec 12: "Media Release: Say No to Government Income Management - Not in Bankstown Not Anywhere. ...
A campaign coalition including Aboriginal leaders from the Northern Territory, major trade unions and community organisations will hold a press conference in Paul Keating Park, Bankstown on Friday to respond to moves by the Commonwealth government to further expand the income management scheme.
The press conference will be addressed by Rosalie Kunoth-Monks, a senior Aboriginal Elder from Utopia in Central Australia. Her grand-daughter Amelia Kunoth-Monks has lived on income management and is preparing a complaint to the Human Rights Commission saying the scheme is discriminatory.
Also speaking is Steve Turner from the Public Sector Association (PSA), representing child protection workers who are refusing to place people on income management. He will be supported by Unions NSW deputy secretary Adam Kerslake.
Last week the Commonwealth released a comprehensive evaluation of income management in the Northern Territory which found overwhelming evidence the system is discriminatory and no strong evidence the program had improved lives when applied compulsorily.
Despite this, the government is pressing ahead with plans to force new categories of people onto the scheme. ... "

Can Jenny Macklin please explain why she continues to fund, and even expand, compulsory income management? It has again been evaluated as offering little evidence of benefits, but her latest media release on an initial commissioned research project failed to report something crucial: the many doubts the project itself expressed about the value of income management."
