Media Release

LAS VEGAS, July 2 – Rael, spiritual leader of the Raelian Movement, today commended a German court’s recent ruling that the circumcision of young boys for religious reasons amounts to bodily harm.

“Circumcision for men, like clitoral excision in females, constitutes sexual mutilation and should be forbidden,” Rael said. It is a position he has taken for years. He also favours a Norwegian political party that is currently seeking a ban on circumcision in Norway.

Let us remember Galang and Hei Ling Chau and other regional camps - and who stood up for asylum seekers fleeing the 'killing fields' and persecution

Submitted by Gerry Georgatos on Sun, 01/07/2012 - 11:22am

Let us honestly remind ourselves of the 1970s and 1980s in how we treated and resettled our Asylum Seekers, and who really stood up for them however let us not revise the past in some Camelot like myth as is happening by some and by others too young to remember, and by people ignorant of Galang and Hei Ling Chau and other like regional camps.

The hysteria around Asylum Seekers is deplorable and the result of perceptual modifications.

"Stronger Futures legislation will cause great suffering in our hearts"

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Wed, 27/06/2012 - 12:32pm

MEDIA RELEASE (27.6.2012)by the Yolngu Nations Assembly and the Alyawaar Nation

Should this Stronger Futures legislation pass through the Senate and become law, it will be a day of mourning for all Aboriginal peoples. This legislation will be the cause of great suffering in our hearts.

For those of us living in the Northern Territory the anguish of the past five years of Intervention has been almost unbearable. Many have simply given up hope. We have been burying people who can no longer live with the pain and despair.
