In an article by Guy Rundle about the Little Children Are Sacred report that has motivated Howard to do his illegal molestation of the Aboriginal Nation turns out to be completely fucking flawed! This is a piece of an article by Guy Rundle, of which the whole thing is printed at this particular website along with links to the study.
"The Inquiry was not told many stories concerning intra-familial child sexual abuse. However, given the experiences of the community mentioned above, and noting the findings in other Australian jurisdictions, it is safe to assume that it is more prevalent than was identified in consultations. Also, given the parlous state of many communities, it may be on the increase. (p.63)
Got that? There was no evidence so we decided it was happening anyway. And was on the increase!"
I haven't even read the whole thing, yet, but I got this from an article on an Australian Indy media. Howard's doing a fucking land grab.
"Two issues specifically - mining companies have applied for more exploration permits in the Northern Territory, the Jabiluka uranium mining operations at Kakadu have already hit the media because of the mining company's applications to the Government to significantly expand its operations, including establishing new mines at Coronation Hill, and another critical issue - nuclear waste. The Howard Government has already mooted that nuclear waste should be dumped in the Northern Territory, on Aboriginal lands. Aboriginal traditional owners are absolutely opposed to this. We have a long history of deaths and illness from radiation, from the atomic tests at Woomera in the 1950s to the current high incidences of carcinomas in the community at Kakadu near the Jabiluka site. The main obstacle to the Federal Government's desired expansion of mining operations in the Northern Territory and nuclear waste dumping is, of course, the Aboriginal people who have occupancy of, and rights under the common law to, their traditional lands."
In the immortal words of Mother Jones when she was at a Union meeting when they found out the cavalry, I mean the national guard was sent to attack them..."LET'S GET 'EM BOYS!" She was the only one who confronted them, and the only one arrested.
LET'S GET THESE MOTHER FUCKERS, FOLKS!
