News has just been received from Mr John Henriksen and Ms Tracey Castro Whare that the President of the UN General Assembly has appointed the Ambassador of Mexico and Mr John Henriksen to conduct consultations for the World Conference on Indigenous Peoples, on his behalf.
The idea of the worldwide Children's Revolution on May Day is for the women and children in the environmental movement to lead the marches all over the earth, and show that the World Revolution is peaceful and will save humanity from being driven to extinction by the burning of fossil fuels.

Last week the Donnybrook-Bridgetown Mail reported that on Good Friday, Bridgetown was plastered with graffiti alleging one of the town's most prominent citizens is a paedophile.
'Warning to Parents' was painted in large letters and then alleged a noteworthy individual in a position of trust was a paedophile.
The Donnybrook-Bridgetown Mail received calls from three individuals about the graffiti. One photo of the graffiti and the accusations, smack right across Coronation Street, was forwarded by a Bridgetown resident to the Donnybrook-Bridgetown Mail.

It is not surprising that some States are looking to avoid reference to
'Indigenous Peoples' in the outcome document being drafted for the
forthcoming Rio +20 conference (to be held in June 2012). Apparently

Australia’s former Foreign Affairs minister Gareth Evans was shocked and surprised at having his appalling historical record brought back into the light. But what is amazing, is that it is so rarely mentioned.
A couple of weeks ago Evans was accused of “supporting atrocities” in East Timor when he was foreign affairs minister.
The accusation came from Stephen Zunes, Professor of Politics at the University of San Francisco.
He was visiting Melbourne and called a spade a spade during a public forum with poor Gareth in attendance.
IndyMedia has received a message from Lyn May of the Peace Tent Embassy on Heirrison Island in Perth that they are "getting a bad reputation from the media".
She asked us to show "that we are a peaceful camp fighting for social justice and no alcohol or fighting is allowed".
"Of course because of our location sometimes homeless and ill people come to our camp for food and warmth, and might make a bit of swearing and noise, but they are not a part of the Peace Embassy group.

Children as young as seven are enduring 16-hour days and beatings to produce the cocoa that major companies use to make chocolate. And only days before Easter, these companies are desperately competing with each other to maximise profits.
It’s their most lucrative holiday period -- but their profits will come from modern day child slavery. And while every other major chocolate company has already taken steps to ensure their cocoa isn’t harvested by children, Lindt and Ferrero continue to put massive profits ahead of basic child welfare.
