Outrage as Australia abolishes 'failed' Aboriginal council
http://news.independent.co.uk/world/australasia/story.jsp?story=511871
By Kathy Marks in Sydney
16 April 2004
The Australian government angered the Aboriginal population yesterday
by announcing plans to abolish an elected commission set up to give
them control of their own affairs.
Legislation will be introduced next month to scrap the Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander Commission (Atsic), effective immediately. The
Prime Minister, John Howard, said: "We believe very strongly that the
experiment in elected representation for indigenous people has been a
failure." The institution would not be replaced, he said.

the needs of the Aborigines to the sidelines, with few complaints from
his white constituency.

Outrage as Australia abolishes 'failed' Aboriginal council
http://news.independent.co.uk/world/australasia/story.jsp?story=511871
The gov will listen to appointed "advisors". If they are as
"independent" and "fearless" as the intelligence analysts who advised
the gov that there were WMDs in Iraq (other then those analysts
who have since lost their jobs that is and hats off to those brave
people) then the indigenous people are going to be screwed again and
again.

I think that the dismantling of ATSIC is only the second sensible thing that
the Howard government has done in all it's time in office. (The first was
the gun laws) Of course the only reason they did it was because Labour had
already promised to do it and looked like winning them votes. ATSIC had
become a corrupt and useless beurocrasy, filling the pockets of a select few
who are about as aboriginal as I am. I used to have an indigenous friend
who worked for ATSIC and she used to tell me stunning stories about how
corrupt and dishonest the whole hierarchy of the commission was. She told
me 6 years ago that the entire organization should have been scrapped and
started from scratch, but that no-one dared speak out for fear of being
sacked or persecuted. Of course what it will be replaced with will just be
another attempt by Howard to add a few more strings to his personal puppet
show. Can you believe that whole thing about making Richard Alston the head
of Telstra? If they get voted in again, this entire stupid fucking country
deserves everything it gets!!!

I always wondered if Alston (and perhaps other agents in the Howard government)
was involved in the "disappearance" of Australian internet free-speech activist
Bernadette Taylor several years ago.

Yeah...well, my trusty .177 air rifle that worked really well got
crushed by the aussie government and I never got compensated for
it....and it had cost me 199 bucks or something when I bought it. So
basically, they robbed me of my air rifle. I don't mind gun laws
actually, but when they took my gun without reimbursing me...then
that's what I call robbery.

I hope you'll forgive me for taking this even farther off
topic. Keep in mind that this is coming from a rural American
who grew up in an environment in which firearms were found in
every home and virtually everyone, male and female, learned to
shoot and hunt at an early age; where I live the same is still
pretty much the rule. Firearm violence seems to me to be
pretty rare here. I know of only one shooting in this county
of just under 8,000 residents since 1977. I know of two
others in which county residents were involved, one in which
two locals were killed, the other in which a local man shot
his boss and several other people, that took place elsewhere.
I remember reading about the Tasmanian incident some years ago
in misc.rural, but I have to admit the details have slipped my
mind. The discussion of the aftermath tended to have an
American NRA bias suggesting that if we weren't careful the
government would come and confiscate our guns just like they
were doing in Australia, and the next thing we knew we'd be
saluting a guy with a funny brush under his nose. The NRA,
like most extremist groups or individuals, doesn't take great
care to recognize differing points of view in anything like a
respectful manner, so I tended to disregard their rants.
The above, however, gave me pause. Was the air rifle
confiscated? Or was it some kind of voluntary program? Are
private individuals prohibited from owning firearms? Or are
they required to meet some qualifications?

Hardly surprising when everyone is too terrified to do anything unless they
get shot. It's like the nuclear build up during the cold war...both sides
making more and more weapons so the other is too scared to make the first
move. It prevented war didn't it? Therefore it must be a good thing to
pack your country with enough weapons to wipe out the world 6 times over. I
remember a story on some current affairs show many years ago about a small,
redneck, KKK stronghold, southern town in the U.S. where everyone carried
guns and they boasted about how they never had any crime...that was until
the day a black man moved into town. He faced terrible persecution and
threats but stayed strong and determined to stay....until the night when he
was shot 20 times from a dozen different guns and his house was burned down.
Still....one gun crime shows how law abiding it keeps people...as long as
you ain't a n*gg*r!!!

I guess I can't complain; I asked for that. You managed to
include a pretty good selection of anti-American stereotypes
in a relatively short paragraph. Still, I'm curious. Has
your government confiscated all weapons right down to air
rifles? In a country such as yours with so many deadly
animals and so much open space, such a move seems
counterproductive. As to violence against other people, the
philosophy that those bent upon attacking their peers will be
prevented from doing so if law abiding people are disarmed
doesn't seem reasonable to me, though the attitude is shared
by many urban Americans. Feel free to resume your attack.

Outrage as Australia abolishes 'failed' Aboriginal council
http://news.independent.co.uk/world/australasia/story.jsp?story=511871
The gov will listen to appointed "advisors". If they are as
"independent" and "fearless" as the intelligence analysts who advised
the gov that there were WMDs in Iraq (other then those analysts
who have since lost their jobs that is and hats off to those brave
people) then the indigenous people are going to be screwed again and
again.
I think that the dismantling of ATSIC is only the second sensible thing
that
the Howard government has done in all it's time in office. (The first
was
the gun laws) Of course the only reason they did it was because Labour
had
already promised to do it and looked like winning them votes. ATSIC had
become a corrupt and useless beurocrasy, filling the pockets of a select
few
who are about as aboriginal as I am. I used to have an indigenous
friend
who worked for ATSIC and she used to tell me stunning stories about how
corrupt and dishonest the whole hierarchy of the commission was. She
told
me 6 years ago that the entire organization should have been scrapped
and
started from scratch, but that no-one dared speak out for fear of being
sacked or persecuted. Of course what it will be replaced with will just
be
another attempt by Howard to add a few more strings to his personal
puppet
show. Can you believe that whole thing about making Richard Alston the
head
of Telstra? If they get voted in again, this entire stupid fucking
country
deserves everything it gets!!!
Yeah...well, my trusty .177 air rifle that worked really well got
crushed by the aussie government and I never got compensated for
it....and it had cost me 199 bucks or something when I bought it. So
basically, they robbed me of my air rifle. I don't mind gun laws
actually, but when they took my gun without reimbursing me...then
that's what I call robbery.
Kenny L.
Well that's wrong. Why not? You should kick up a ***** storm for that!
Yeah....I think so! I doubt that the aussie government would want to
see a repeat of what happened in Tasmania which led to the gun laws.
But you know...if governments start to rob folks of things...then who
knows what kind of things could accidently happen in future.

Yeah...well, my trusty .177 air rifle that worked really well
got
crushed by the aussie government and I never got compensated
for
it....and it had cost me 199 bucks or something when I bought
it.
So
basically, they robbed me of my air rifle. I don't mind gun
laws
actually, but when they took my gun without reimbursing
me...then
that's what I call robbery.
A bb gun was confiscated and destroyed!!!!!!!? Watch out for
the
banning of slingshots.
...and pea shooters.
rocks...spit wads.....
And don't forget paper clips and rubber bands, as well as thumbtacks,
which you could put on somebody's chair.
...duct tape since you could pull someone's hair.....
While they're probably no longer fashionable, let us not forget
cigarette
loads.
And for the women, those long nails are definitely out.
The claws that refreshes....
It's shredding time!.....
Territorial markings....
Santa Claws is coming...
Dependent Claws
Subordinate Claws?
Escape Claws?
