Occupy Melbourne's Indigenous Working Group serves an eviction to Melbourne City Council and Lord Mayor Robert Doyle. In response to the violent attack on the democratic right to protest, including the brutal attack on several Indigenous activists, we invite the 99% to join us in this action to defend our human rights and cultural dignity.
Occupy Melbourne Protest: Indigenous Working Group "Evict Robert Doyle"
12.30pm, Thursd...ay, 17 November 2011
City Square (marching over the road to Town Hall)
On the 21st of Octocber Robert Doyle (Mad nero) and his vicious troops, stripped us of our identity and our cultural beliefs.
He Treated our Indigenous flag with no respect (tearing it and throwing in the mud, having it being raked up and thrown into a dumpster). It was taken to one of many city landfills and as all should know the Aboriginal flag represents us from all nations of Kamerra as the people and TRUE owners of this land. We invite you to join us, brothers and sisters, to show Doyle that this was racist and unacceptable behaviour considering we were all peacefull protestors fighting with dignity and compassion, only to be stripped of our human rights and cultural dignity.
We are DEMANDING a National Treaty with the whole of Kamerra Nation.
Let's recognise the true sovereigns of this Land. Let's STOP the racist NT Intervention.
