Two of Nyoongar Tent Embassy's stalwarts had not been to the Embassy for more than a week. Dumbartung Aboriginal Corporation's Robert Eggington and John Pell were in Perth city on planning duties for the March 28 Stolen Wages march and rally when Mr Eggington was urged on by a spiritual sense and looked at Mr Pell, "Johnny, lets go to the Embassy."

What constitutes "saving a language?" To scholars it may mean making sure it is well-documented. But to the people whose languages are disappearing, a language isn't saved unless people are speaking it again.
A leading American expert in language revitalisation programs around the world, Leanne Hinton, will be giving a talk about that in Canberra on 28 March. All are welcome to attend. Please register your attendance on http://reclaimingindigenouslanguages.eventbrite.com/.

Forest Rescue Australia (FRA) has heightened its protest actions halting Warrup logging on an almost daily basis - however at the price of arrests. A Forest Products Commission (FPC) spokeswoman confirmed that protestors had entered work areas on three separate days in the last ten days and on two occasions had locked themselves on to two logging machines while work continued in other parts of the operation.
On Monday 19, FRA protestors entered the Warrup logging area and one protestor managed to lock himself on to a logging machine for 15 hours.
Fighting Ferguson's Dump
Natalie Wasley
In February 2010, Resources Minister Martin Ferguson introduced the National Radioactive Waste Management Bill into the House of Representatives, saying it represented "a responsible and long overdue approach for an issue that impacts on all Australian communities".
The legislation names Muckaty, 120 kilometres north of Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory, as the only site to remain under active consideration for a national nuclear waste dump.
Nyoongar Tent Embassy has sent a call out for supporters to assist at Heirisson Island (Mattagarup).
Apparently 100 police have arrived at the Embassy and with news media piling in.
Talkback radio is piling heaps of pressure for government, council and police action to close it down. However just as many people have been calling into the talkback programs supporting and arguing on behalf of the right of the Embassy.
Premier Colin Barnett has publicly said that action 'will be taken' and that the Embassy has gone off 'for long enough'. He wants not tents, and campers sleeping over.

The Doreen Mackman motion upheld by the Bridgetown-Greenbushes council asking the Forest Products Commission (FPC) to preserve forest settings around the tramway through the Warrup has been considered by the FPC.
