The Aboriginal Political Party (APP)
has been born in South Australia and it
has based its first principle on fighting
injustice.

Leading the way are APP executive
officers, Kaurna Elder, Lynette Crocker and
Dr Dylan Coleman, the 2011 recipient of
the Queensland Premier’s David Unaipon
Indigenous Literary Award.

On February 19, the 176th South Australian
Letters Patent commemoration was held by
the APP.

Stratfor hires former U.S. government agents, and bribes insiders and journalists (possibly in contravention to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act).

ALSWA Media Statement
6 March 2012

The Aboriginal Legal Service of Western Australia (ALSWA) has slammed the WA State Government’s offer of up to $2000.00 to Aboriginal workers whose past wages were stolen by the state.

“This is a slap in the face and a cruel and heartless offer which offends the very notion of recompense,” said ALSWA CEO Adjunct Professor Dennis Eggington.

UK government conspiracy to cover up paedophilia / UK cabinet admits to have blocked lawsuit against Pope / Raelians organise protests worldwide in front of UK embassies

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 06/03/2012 - 4:37pm

All this stems from a lawsuit the Movement filed against the Pope during his visit to the UK in September 2010, alleging covering up paedophilia within the church as well as Crimes Against Humanity for the Vatican's telling millions of Africans that condoms do not stop the transmission of AIDS.

The Prime Minister has publicly said that she values Mr Carr’s advice and that she has often consulted him on a range of issues.

Is there a recent issue in Australian politics, which has been more reported to death, bored and offended us more than Kevin udd’s planned comeback as Prime Minister? How many times has the media reported Kevin Rudd’s renewed leadership ambitions and the fact he was convinced he was a better PM than Julia Gillard?
