“They took my boy’s body away. I wanted to go with my son. They left us behind. They didn’t care to listen.”
“They just looked at us. They flew off, right in our faces.”
“They left us behind.”
“They just left us,” said mother, Gwen Sturt.

Larry Pickering's website has gone down. In the past when this has happened he has claimed it was hacked. He's been offered police protection. Some have described his cartoons as 'vulgar' and 'tasteless'. Julia Gillard was particulary incensed by some of them. Below is a small copy of the cartoon that has caused him to receive death threats. Should he have published it? Is it too provocative? Should we all display a Mohammed cartoon in our front window? They can't kill all of us, after all. Or, is it the time to be silent?
A preamble by Ray Jackson, Indigenous Social Justice Association president and then a statement from the Freedom Movement about the Sit-In at Canberra. There are three lead up forums - Adelaide (today), Sydney (Sunday) and Brisbane (Tuesday) before the January 26th Sit-In.
