CLIMATE of DEATH - justice denied means more will die, by Gerry Georgatos (courtesy of the National Indigenous Times - nit.com.au)
"We have to get rid of racist cops. I don't want to dwell on the past but I have grown up bitter," said Nyungar Elder Ben Taylor. Mr Taylor is on the mark when he says, "They have been killing our people for two hundred years."

Freedom Not Fear is an international movement opposing unnecessary and disproportionate government surveillance measures.
An event will be held in Sydney this Saturday, 15th September 2012 as part of this international effort.
EFA supports Freedom Not Fear and encourages members and supporters in Sydney to attend this event.
Where: Hyde Park Sydney. North end on grass near the fountain.
Date & Time: Saturday 15, September, 2012. 12pm Midday.
In the weeks preceding the NSW council elections, some anarchists and anti authoritarians in Sydney mounted a campaign against the coerced ritual of voting.
A couple thousand posters and stickers were pasted on walls, bins, electricity boxes, telephone booths, and bus shelters mostly throughout the electorates of Ashfield, Leichardt, Marrickville, Rockdale, Hurstville and Sydney city.
Low lying politician signs from every party were torn down, numerous high ones were hit with paint bombs and at least 20 anti voting slogans were sprayed across walls, mostly throughout the inner west.
