To Whom it May Concern,

Thank you so much for the opportunity to write you regarding the Aboriginal Tent Embassy's 40th anniversary. Congratulations, and may you enjoy much success in 2012.

I am writing on behalf of the Occupy movement in Adelaide to request that we may attempt to launch a nationwide solidarity action with the Tent Embassy, and erect our tents on the 26th of January in the various Occupy Chapters of Australia, in order to show our commitment to the need for the Aboriginal people's voices to be heard. Our chapter, here in Adelaide, will work with the Aboriginal community here, but we would also like to have your blessing to launch this solidarity action on the day.

If we have your permission to go ahead with the solidarity action, could you please let us know anything that you would like for us to do or promote specifically on that day, in addition to highlighting the need for Aboriginal Sovereignty here in Australia?

I appreciate your time so much, and I look forward to hearing back from you. Again- I wish you much success this year.

Respectfully,
Claudine Harrington- Occupy Adelaide

27 Jan 12; Protest at the 'Lobby Resturant'. The security guards reef gillard down the steps she is semi clad at the base of the steps and shoved un-dignified into the rear seat of her car. Only the cops can be blamed for that man-handling. Meantime Abbott is seen grinning like a cheshire cat at the top of the steps before the hurried decent. Coporations are reknown for setting the cat amongst the pigeons and this time is no different. It was another media stunt to paint a hell of a bad picture of the Indigenous. I know personally and first hand what ABBOTT was responsible for on the 'convoy of no conscience' - it was his campaign and nothing more - all the deals had been done in regards to that cause BEFORE they all left for Canberra. The proof came via a trucking body document... The media got caught out in that mess also just like they will now. Tell it as it is NOT what you want them to here. STOP lying to the people. The Corporations were established without any referendum and i have the proof of that also. I am tired of being lied to - cheated out of Justice at every turn. 2012 will be the year.

threats to "burn your shit tents down and beat the shit out of every scum bag there" as well as other vile language.

To you and other slaggers and abusers, if the language used is insulting or discriminatory, or we infer that you've posted with malicious intent, then we hide your post. It is part of moderation duties. We don't accept shit, or we'd just get more shit.

If slaggers, abusers, discriminators see they can post personal attacks or sidetrack discussion on a continuing basis, they will continue to do so. So we hide any posts we consider abusive or inflammatory.

Indymedia.org.au is not a free for all discussion site, comments should meet the editorial policies. If they do not meet these standards, we hide them. It may piss off a few posters like yourself but the savvy ones will learn to argue with more considered content.

Here is the editorial policy: http://www.indymedia.org.au/editorialpolicy

Bottom line: It's our project, we run it like we want to. If you don't like it, lump it.
