[recoznet2] Environment Minister to brief Collins on Jabiluka
Environment Minister to brief Collins on Jabiluka Another step will be taken this week in resolving conflicts between the Federal Government and traditional owners of the Jabiluka uranium mine site in the Northern Territory. The mine is surrounded by the World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park. Federal Environment Minister Robert Hill and the Mirrar people agreed to work on several proposals while they were in Paris earlier this month for a World Heritage Committee meeting. Former Territory senator Bob Collins says Senator Hill will brief him fully this week on what has been agreed to and what implications the proposals will have on the work he is doing. Mr Collins is heading the committee that is implementing the recommendations of the Kakadu Region Impact Study, carried out to determine the impact of uranium mining on the region. __ Get your free Australian email account at http://www.start.com.au/ --- RecOzNet2 has a page @ http://www.green.net.au/recoznet2 and is archived at http://www.mail-archive.com/ To unsubscribe from this list, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED], and in the body of the message, include the words:unsubscribe announce or click here mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=unsubscribe%20announce This posting is provided to the individual members of this group without permission from the copyright owner for purposes of criticism, comment, scholarship and research under the "fair use" provisions of the Federal copyright laws and it may not be distributed further without permission of the copyright owner, except for "fair use."

[recoznet2] Answer to my letter
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thank-you for your email expressing your friends concerns about mandatory sentencing in the Northern Territory. I have forwarded your email to the authorities and thank-you again for your concerns. Yours sincerely, Liz Harkin Northern Territory Holiday Centre. ^^^ My message: July 26, 1999 To Whom It May Concern, I have been asked by a friend of mine in the Netherlands, Eric Hennekam, to convey his utter disgust with your mandatory sentencing laws. Mr Hennekam will be here, with his family, for the Sydney 2000 Olympics and since he has seen many photos of Australia he was planning on visiting other places as well. One of these places was the Northern Territory but then he found out about your mandatory sentencing laws and the terrible effect these are having on Indigenous Australians. He and his family are very impressed by Indigenous culture and art but they do no wish to support in any way a regime that harms them. Also, Mr Hennekam's three children are teenagers and he is afraid that through a misunderstanding or lack of language skills, his children might be inadvertently in danger of these laws. He is also aware that there are no interpreters provided in the NT courts. Mr Hennekam is coming with a large group of friends and acquaintances (this is how they always travel) and has informed all of them why he does not want to visit the Northern Territory and so, the NT is now off the itinerary. My personal observation to you is that it might well be that your mandatory sentencing laws are costing you a lot more than you realise for some minor property thefts.

[recoznet2] Can anyone help Helen?
I am posting this for Helen in case someone can help her with her second request. I will take care of the articles. Trudy Hey Trudy, How are you? Firstly, I will tell you that I am the girl looking for clippings on racial discrimination for an assignment. Well I dont really know what articles I need but I am thinking along the lines of anything to do with how racial discrimination effects the people involved. If theres anything that you can find on what people/society are doing to help the victims or to prevent this from continuing, may I please have that also? Also, if its not too much trouble, if you know anyone else I can get info from (via e-mail, phone call or a letter) could you please let me know? I really appreciate what you are doing for me. Thanks a lot again, Helen. __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
