I don't post here often either - in fact I never have! This is under my
husband's name but he is down at Kumarangk and has been for the last week
and a half since they started to build THAT bridge. I am tempted to say a
few words re Laurie's comments but it seems pointless to me to continue
using this forum which, it is my understanding is for information re:
indigenous and other related issues and educated debate ABOUT THOSE
ISSUES, not attacks on each other.
What I do want to tell you is that there is a call for solidarity and
practical help from the Ngarrindjeri community down at Kumarangk. THey are
asking us to give all the time we can to be present at the site - there is
NO bridge as yet! There is a big weekend planned for November 20 21. We
are invited to be present there the whole of the weekend or any part we can
make it. There will be a flyer sent out soon but I just wanted to let you
know some information to tell as MANY people as you can to keep that weekend
free. If you are coming from interstate - we can set up accomodation from
here and as I said there is camping at Ngarrindjeri Pulgi on the island,
available for the whole week end.
This will be on the flyer: post it as many places as you can
cheers
Annette Flanagan
