 Redfern
riot: All clippings + background
'We
give notice to the Australian government both State and Federal that the continual
denial of basic human rights and on-going POLICE HARASSMENT against Aboriginal
people have not been addressed in this country. This is evidenced by the DEATH
of a young boy.'

Aborigines: Their future welfare
Reprinted from The Times, August 8, 1922.
"Mrs. Bates is not the only one who is concerned with the welfare of the aborigine.
It is a problem which is becoming increasingly difficult to the authorities." |
A cruel
case of absurd historical denial
To deny the existence of evidence of
a 19th century crime might seem merely mischievous. However, to speak of Aboriginal
testimony about their 20th century suffering as "false memorysyndrome"
and "confabulation" is something else again. | Human
Rights in Contemporary Australia
Despite its rather grand title, this
presentation will be a relatively modest attempt to set out the key challenges
for human rights in Australia as I see them at the outset of my term as Human
Rights Commissioner. Let us begin with a quick survey of the state of human rights
internationally and in Australia today. | John
Howard: The dispiriting face of Middle Australia
Many people, particularly
outside Australia, make the mistake of underestimating Howard. He has scant charisma
and no commanding presence; his eyebrows are unruly, his voice an irritating whine.
Visitors seduced by images of a diverse, progressive nation are startled to find
it run by a grey man who belongs in the 1950s. | Money
that's black and white and spent all over
The dollars may appear black,
but there are plenty of "grey" areas. Not all native title dollars are
being used to Aboriginal advantage. | Max
Dupain, Olive Cotton and the Aboriginal Tent Embassy: A Three Dog Night
Some
men spoke of pinstriped blacks in well paid jobs, too cozy to remember the real
struggles. How money compromised the bravest of men. They told me that the new
Parliament House land site is a traditional sacred birth site for Aboriginal women,
and how important sacred land is for them.The birth of a child had meaning for
these Aboriginal people, and me, but that significance was overridden by government
bureaucrats and developers. | | media

Support
the Stolen
Wages campaign. From 1904 to 1987, the Queensland Government withheld
or underpaid wages earned by Aboriginal workers; a fraction has been offered as
a settlement. Your
assistance would be greatly appreciated.
