Myself I dont think that any religious symbology should have to be copyrighted, it should be up to the upholders of the religious creed to register their symbols with the govt. who then should install the laws needed to prevent non believers from making commercial profit from it. One only has to go to paddys market to see christian 'artifacts' being sold, they are cheaply made junk made by atheists in china -hardly religious at all.

The thing is nobody would give two hoots if something offended us.
Our largest city of Auckland currently has plans for a multi-billion dollar tunnel system which will help reduce the terribly congested traffic. Just one small hitch. The Maori claim that the proposed building site is haunted. A massive project is now in limbo over something so ridiculous.

I would not want that spirit outside of an Art Studio because from what I have been told is a malevolent spirit. An Aboriginal Artist has the same sculpture, done by an authentic tribesman in his home - he told me about the spirit! That is, the peice of work, is charge for the purpose of protection of the bearer. Like a plug, the fine-tuned quantum, plugs into the power point (source/spirit world) and transmits energy to this dimension. Vesna Tinodi had no business painting this spirit!

I wonder what power/charge a white person would place into say a gaurdian spirit of a fairie, angel, or the ilk?

On the eve of the Bangarra Dance Theatre's world premiere of its latest show, the artistic director says he is worried Indigenous Australians are being held back by a culture of guilt in non-Indigenous Australia.

Stephen Page is celebrating his 20th anniversary with the company and he says it has been a time of reflection for him and his composer brother, David Page.

His new show, ID, includes a sought-after mix of traditional music and dance with a unique contemporary style and is set to premiere in Brisbane tonight.

Stephen Page says he has been exploring what it means to be Aboriginal in the 21st century. ID was inspired by people re-connecting with traditional culture.

The Brisbane-born choreographer is an outspoken member of Australia's artistic community and says years of blame-shifting are crippling the potential of many Indigenous Australians.

Stephen Page says he is convinced chances of true reconciliation are slim until Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians are prepared to leave the past in the past.

"It's always going to be like oil and water and I just think both voices are going to have to be heard," he said.

Reconciliation - the action of restoring harmony! How do you restore harmony?

Answer: By having a healthy racial image!

OK..lets give them what they want. Take away housing,welfare,education, medical...all free by the way. Give them some remote patch of land and hey! they are happy, all at one with the land. I get to keep more of my tax dollars and they can find dreamtime. A win win situation.

Strange but it doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere - Aurukun is an aboriginal community. I have a youtube video (unrelated to the story) featuring KangKang fights.

Aurukun, on Cape York, under siege as children run riot

Children as young as eight are running riot at Aurukun, with the small community of 1200 people calling out for help to stem a rising tide of vandalism, violence and family dysfunction.



Aurukun residents want the State and Federal governments to help stop a group of out-of-control youths, who in the space of 48 hours have caused up to $100,000 worth of damage to the community pool and broke into the police compound, where they stole a car and drove off by smashing through a set of security gates.

Police yesterday confirmed a small group of young people broke into the police compound about 5am
yesterday.

Once inside, they broke into a car and smashed through the compound’s locked gates before dumping the car nearby.

It is understood it was the third attempt to break into the car that night.
Many government and agency workers secure their vehicles at the police compound overnight for fear the cars will be stolen.
One community member said, "No car is safe in Aurukun".
Cape York Insp Bruce Kuhn said the compound break-in was linked to a vandalism rampage at the community swimming pool on Sunday, where the Aurukun Council estimates up to $100,000 worth of damage was done.
The damage was so extensive the council was expected to close the pool indefinitely.
An Aurukun resident, who asked not to be named, said the all-night rampages of young people were making life unbearable in the small community.

Indigenous stars to grill footy racists

• Aaron Langmaid
• From: Herald Sun

Racists could front a tribunal led by some of the greatest Aborigines to have played the game.
Under the radical proposal, footballers or spectators accused of vilification would be grilled by the panel of former indigenous stars.
Hawks forward Cyril Rioli also wants heftier fines and increased security at games to stop the ugly incidents.
The proposal follows the alleged racial abuse of former St Kilda player Allan Murray in a suburban clash at the weekend.

Sounds just like a modern day witch trial.

Obviously those charged with the heinous crime of racism will have no right to argue their case, they will just have to grab their ankles and take it, all the while grovelling slavishly to their aborginal masters.

I wonder if any abos have ever called any one a 'white kaaaaaarnt' and if so, will they have to front a panel of white people?

Gosh, Oz has really digressed.

Was not that long ago when abos were not even considered citizens. Now they have tribunals where they can judge us.

I would find it terribly difficult to keep a straight face if I heard someone talking about Aboriginals being equal.

Don't get me wrong, I don't wish aboriginals any harm. They should be left alone and unharassed in their natural environment as all people should be.

Now this trial gig is a bit strange. It could only turn out bad for the aboriginals in the end. Stay separate aboriginals, you will be better off.

Separation means freedom

And then someone say that all kids are beautiful
He sure was not looking in these images ...

Yep , how times had changed
Liberals/jews succeded to make a movement oposite than law of evolution ...
But this will not last ...
Every act against nature is doomed to failure in advance ...

Cyril, is that an abbo name..?

just one more example why pro-sports are so horrible,
the main goal is to turn nonwhites into heroes.

Plus the added insanity of making it illegal to dislike anyone..
unless they are White of course, then its mandatory
esp. for Whites themselves and the
nonwhites who also hate us.

Bush garden now a wasteland

The bush food garden at Amata earlier this year.




THIS is the market garden hailed by Premier Mike Rann in 2008 as an achievement for improving APY Land life.

Just three years later, the garden sits dead and weed infested because a lack of recurrent funding to pay for a supervisor.

People involved in managing the Amata bush garden say the project failed because there was no one to oversee its running, and warn that a new market garden project spruiked by the State Government would meet the same fate.
The warning comes as the Government struggles to defend a new food security program for the state's Aboriginal lands after The Advertiser revealed the Red Cross was sending food aid to the region.
The revelation has prompted calls from welfare groups and indigen- ous leaders for a voluntary income management scheme to ensure people do not go hungry. Mike Quarmby from Desert Pride, the horticultural organisation that helped manage the Amata bush garden, says the State Government's new market gardens in Railway Bore and Watarru were similar to dozens of unsuccessful projects tried before.
"It will fall over by Christmas unless they have adequate supervision and maintenance," said Mr Quarmby, who has had 40 years' experience as a regional horticulturalist.
In 2008, Premier Mike Rann singled out the Amata garden as an example of the Government's good work on the Lands. "There are bush-tucker food projects, with native market gardens established in Mimili and Amata that are tended by the local people, improving diet and stimulating economic development," he said.Aboriginal Affairs Minister Grace Portolesi, who faces a no-confidence motion in Parliament this week for the Government's handling of the portfolio, defended the new vegetable gardens.
