How a King's Seal could change land rights in South Australia

In 1836 King William IV recognised the continued rights to land for Aboriginal people in South Australia's founding document, the Letters Patent. It was the first ever recognition of Aboriginal rights granted in Australia's colonial history. But the promise of legal entitlement to the land was never kept. Now a new documentary is telling the story of the King’s Letters Patent and the struggle to have those land rights recognised.

A Sad Day For Nimbin

I woke up this morning to a phonecall from a neighbor who told me about a fire having burnt down some Nimbin icons, the "Rainbow Cafe", "The Nimbin Museum", and some adjacent building.
Coming into town today I saw a big hole in the front of the main street with smoldering remnants, a lot of police and fire brigade, and other "officials".

Check the media links with photos, some videos and an audio interview of Jenny Dowel, Mayor of Lismore commenting on the event.

Give Peace A Chance

‘Give Peace a Chance? ’

A noble sentiment; unfortunately war is a vital element of world-economics and profit from armament export sales is essential to economic success.

A successful armaments-producing nation leans heavily on an income-dependency from export. And the armament’s industry produces lots more than Swiss Army Knives.

More police powers are needed to stop people driving cars

More police powers are needed to stop people driving cars, currently if a car is speeding the police have the right to pull the car over, also random breath tests give the police the right to pull a car over. However the police should have the right to pull a car over to ask some basic questions like what do you do for work & this information should be passed on to the bureau of statistics, the government has the right to know what its citizens do for work & this applies to people who drive cars all over Australia.

Why Australia should not become the world's nuclear waste dump

Former prime minister Bob Hawke is urging Australia to become the world's nuclear waste dump. But he has little hope of succeeding.

Hawke said Australia could end the disadvantage endured by its Indigenous population by opening up traditional lands as dumping sites for nuclear waste from around the world. This would "finally eliminate these disgraceful gaps in well-being and lifetime opportunities”, Hawke said — an echo of his grandiose claim in 1987 that, "By 1990, no Australian child will be living in poverty."

When we look around the present conditions of war against each other and the environment, one could not imagine that an act conceived in 1694 in London would be central to these present day issues.

One Third Of The World's Population Die In Police Custody

One third of the world's population die in police custody, the majority of these people are people with so called mental illness, note they can not scientifically prove that mental illness exists, in other words its a pseudoscience & in reality mental health is more about eugenics & population control by murdering people through forced incarceration & the forced consumption of drugs.

An appeal from Australian Jews to the Australian Jewish community

Over 165 Australians of Jewish identity and background have signed an Open Letter (below) calling on their fellow Jews to break their silence on the onslaught on Gaza by Israel. Among the signatories are actress Miriam Margolyes, union leader Kim Sattler and writers Sara Dowse, Antony Loewenstein and Susan Varga.
Vivienne Porzsolt of Jews against the Occupation, which organised the Open Letter, said ‘Silence is consent and as Jews, we must oppose atrocities taken in our name. Our public stand demonstrates that many Jews reject the brutal occupation of the Palestinians by Israel.

Andrew Forrest tells us what to do but is this welfare reform or a land grab?

By National Indigenous Times columnist, Dr Woolombi (Marcus) Waters - http://nit.com.au/ “While all their mouths talk (and say) the right (thing), I do not understand why nothing is done. I have heard talk and talk but nothing is done. Good words do not last long unless they amount to something. I believe much trouble and blood would be saved if we opened our hearts more. It does not take many words to speak the truth.” (Hinmaton Yalatkit, Nez Percé Native American: 1877)

Is global warming causing droughts in Australia

Is global warming causing droughts in Australia ?

Many Australian towns are dying due to many years of drought, yet even though Australia & many other developed & under developed countries around the world are signatory's to Agenda 21 we still have not met our renewable energy targets. Yet some countries like Germany have done well to have one third of their economy powered by renewable energy.

And the Band Played I Should Be So Lucky!

While the Abbevillian Abbott government continues its "emergency Budget" onslaught upon the powerless, the disenfranchised and the unemployed, the flags are out, brass buffed and sphincters braced to commemorate the centenary of the First World War.

In his speech on Monday (4 August) our pretentious, asinine prime minister declared the "sacrifice" of millions was "in a good cause".

We will restore accountability and improve transparency measures to be more accountable to you" - Liberal Party website

Something exciting has just happened in the last couple of hours.

After a huge response from all sections of the community, the Government has backtracked on changes to section 18c of the Racial Discrimination Act, dropping their changes that would water down protections against racial vilification.

So many of you have been involved in voicing your opposition to these changes and today you’ve won. Whether you simply shared a Facebook graphic, made a submission to the enquiry or attended a rally against these changes — thank you.
