Submitted by crooka on Fri, 23/07/2010 - 5:13pm

On Saturday 10th of July ‘Rock Against Racism’ was held at Trades hall, the night was held on the last day of NADOC week. The concert consisted of live music and comedians with proceeds going to the Aboriginal Genocide Centre. A highlight of the night was indigenous music legend Archie Roach accompanied by Dave Arden and his soulful set combined with the hip shaking up-beat songs of Dan Sultan and Scott Wilson. The night was full of talk of land rights, treaty the N.T intervention along with the need of Aboriginal recognition in the Australian constitution.

No mention in Gillard's address of first Australians and owners of this country

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sat, 26/06/2010 - 1:58pm

By Richard Downs, spokesperson for Alyawarr people and organiser for the
July gathering of elders and leaders:

"In Julia Gillard's address to the nation, there was no mention of the
first Australians and owners of this country on the way forward.

"She did mention how wonderfully the previous PM Kevin Rudd's apology
to the first Australians was given. Little does she know this has all
been a farce and now gone by the way side, blown across all directions
with the wind.

"Until the new PM acknowledges the racism and discrimination policy
