Parliamentary sources speak about Aboriginal Australia - I have published this in the hope "that it is not too late"

Submitted by Gerry Georgatos on Sun, 13/05/2012 - 12:34pm

As the government’s chances of re-election appear in tatters, some of their parliamentarians and Cabinet ministers believe that not all hope is lost, and some, as if in living up to the notion that politics is a calling, believe that in the year they have left in government that much can be achieved for the people of Australia, including Aboriginal peoples, according to two parliamentarians who spoke in confidence to The National Indigenous Times.

The Australian prison system has failed; warehouses of illness & death. Bring on Bastoy for starters

Submitted by Gerry Georgatos on Tue, 08/05/2012 - 11:30pm

Gerry Georgatos
If you want to know the hearts and minds of a nation, of its consciousness, of its legislators, then day and night look into our prisons.

The two century old modern day prison experiment is failing, that is if we look at the spiralling incarceration rates, adult and youth, and if we look at re-offending rates, the recidivism.

My PhD research argues that people who enter the prison experience, who are incarcerated for relatively short or long terms leave the prison experience worse than they came in.

Control bill pushed to target Aboriginal peoples and to erode civil liberties

Submitted by Gerry Georgatos on Sun, 06/05/2012 - 4:09pm

Gerry Georgatos
Australia-wide Aboriginal organisations, communities and rights advocates are more than just apprehensive of the consolidated push by State and Territory governments for the introduction of Criminal Association Control Bills better known as anti-association laws – in Western Australia, the Criminal Organisation Bill 2012 appears that it will be passed and within days.

A renters rights movement is gathering momentum in Western Australia with its first impetus surprisingly from the state's South West, and in particular from the Blackwood Valley.
