These little diaries are little snippets of whats going on in Australia. They are background information to past and further diairies from yours truly ;)
They provide background information, for activists, expats, those interested in human rights, indigenous rights (should be the same as the former), those who are outraged, and people who might play "the strawman game" of "not enough information" as comment to these dairies.....
Ignorance is NOT an excuse
Once again, i refer to the documentary

Dear friends of ISJA – Melb
We’d like to alert you to three very important campaigns which we ask
you to support.
(1) Mr Ward Campaign
We have been collaborating with the WA Deaths in Custody Watch
Committee. The group, which is working closely with the Ward Family,
launched a formal petition for WA residents to sign. They have now
launch a formal national petition which we urge you to collect
signatures on and circulate to all of your networks (please see the
message below). We ask you to note that this formal petition is for
Australian Citizens to sign and only original signatures are
acceptable. The deadline is 30 September.
ISJA – Melb has also developed an open letter style petition to the WA
Premier which anyone in the world can sign. The WA campaign supports
the circulation of this petition too. However, from now until the end
September we will focus our efforts on the formal petition. However,
if you would like a copy of the petition to the WA Premier to send to
friends overseas, please get in touch and we will send you a copy.
(2) Listen up ALP – Hands off Tangentyere!
The residents of the Alice Springs town camps have fought for many
decades to keep their land. The town campers’ organisation, the
Tangentyere Council, has worked hard with a tiny budget to maintain
housing and supply other basic services such as running water.
Now the Federal Indigenous Affairs Minister, Jenny Macklin, is
threatening to compulsorily acquire the town camps in early August.
People will pay rent to the NT Government, which has a record of
failing to maintain housing and of evicting Aboriginal families on
trivial grounds – such as lighting a fire to cook kangaroo in the back
yard, or having "too many" family members staying in overcrowded
housing.
The Minister claims that this measure is to provide housing. But in
the two years since the start of the Northern Territory Intervention,
not one house has been built for Aboriginal families in the Northern
Territory. This attack is one more step in stealing Aboriginal land
and sidelining Aboriginal organisations.
Ahead of the ALP national conference at the end of July, rally against
this racist land grab.
Jenny Macklin no way! Tangentyere here to stay!
Rally - 12 noon, Wednesday July 29
ALP headquarters, 360 King St West Melbourne
(near corner of Walsh St, just north of Flagstaff Gardens)
Called by the Melbourne Anti-Intervention Collective and supported by
ISJA – Melb
(3) We support Cop Watch!
Melbourne now has its own Cop Watch group and they are looking for
people keen to get involved.
Please see the attached flier. The next Cop Watch meeting is Monday 20
July at Solidarity Salon, 580 Sydney Road, Brunswick.
Plus Cop Watch is hold its first training day on Saturday 1 August.
And, of course, don’t forget the next ISJA – Melb meeting. It’s on
Wednesday 5 August, 6:30 pm at Solidarity Salon, 580 Sydney Road,
Brunswick.
Please help get the word out.
In solidarity
Alison Thorne – for ISJA Melb

Dear Friends,
Please find attached a petition to the House of Representatives in
relation to the death in custody of Mr. Ward who died of heatstroke in
inhumane and avoidable circumstances in January 2008 in Western
Australia. The focus of this petition is the fact that the treatment
of Mr. Ward violated Australia's obligations under the International
Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the Convention Against Torture
and Other Forms of Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or
Punishment, and the Convention of the Elimination of Racial
Discrimination, and that these violations need to be remedied and
their recurrence prevented.
Your assistance in distributing this petition and assisting with
getting thousands of signatures and organising for completed ones to
be returned to me by 30th September 2009 is greatly appreciated by the
Deaths in Custody Watch Committee of Western Australia INC, Mr. Ward's
family and community and, people across Australia.
Kind regards,
