The (German) Society for Threatened Peoples is planning an event in Berlin to support Australian Aborigines. We want to take Queen Elizabeth’s visit to our capital from 23 to 26 June as an opportunity to address her, the head of the Commonwealth, with an appeal to support the rights of Australian Aborigines. At the moment we are collecting statements of the Queen about this topic and are hoping for your support.

Delivering the “Mother of All Insults” on Mother’s Day Treasurer Joe Hockey and Prime Minister Tony Abbott announced they would take up to $11,500 from nearly 80,000 Australian families.
