[recoznet2] Tent embassy raises international awareness of Indigenous issues
ABC News Mon, 2 Oct 2000 16:07 AEDT Tent embassy raises international awareness of Indigenous issues Organisers of the temporary Aboriginal tent embassy in inner Sydney say their protest has raised international awareness of the problems faced by Australia's Indigenous people. The embassy has occupied Victoria Park at Camperdown since the middle of July. Residents staged a series of Corroborees during the Olympics to highlight the call for Aboriginal rights. They are planning a closing ceremony this weekend and embassy founder Isabelle Coe says the protest has been a great success. "It's certainly put the treatment of Aboriginal people in the spotlight," she said. "We've talked to international media, we've taken them to Redfern, we've taken them to all other parts but they've also had a chance to talk to other people from all round the country right here in Victoria Park. © 1999 Australian Broadcasting Corporation -- ** 'Click' to protect the rainforest: Make the Rainforest Site your homepage! http://www.therainforestsite.com/ ** -- 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] Tent embassy to stay during Games
The Daily Telegraph Tent embassy to stay during Games 24aug00 AN ABORIGINAL tent embassy at Sydney's Victoria Park is likely to remain for the Olympic Games after South Sydney council brokered a peace deal with the protesters. Protest leader Isabelle Coe signed a deal with the council late yesterday, which enables her to stay at the inner-city site during the Games. Under the deal, the tent embassy protesters will be required to not allow any vehicles in Victoria Park, Chippendale, and to use portable toilets. As well, they must supervise the "sacred fire" at all times and accept responsibility for all people in the embassy. The protesters have also agreed not to make noise between dusk and dawn, unless they first notify the council. The council last week successfully sought a court injunction against the one-month-old embassy, which now has about 25 tents. Despite the court move, there was growing evidence that some councillors were likely to allow the tent embassy to remain beyond the Games by putting the issue to a vote. Some councillors were concerned about the image of police dragging away Aboriginal protesters before the world's media. -- ** 'Click' to protect the rainforest: Make the Rainforest Site your homepage! http://www.therainforestsite.com/ ** -- 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] Tent Embassy gets reprieve
Looks like South Sydney Council did a Colin Dunkley! Trudy *** Tent Embassy gets reprieve by Colonel Panic 1:43am Wed Aug 23 '00 The Aboriginal Tent Embassy in Victoria Park seems set to stay during the Olympics following last-minute discussions with Police and South Sydney Council prior to the midday injunction deadline today. Embassy representatives met with Police and South Sydney Council to discuss the Tent Embassy. Ten of the eleven demands made by Council were negotiated away leaving only the issue of the number of tents in Victoria Park outstanding. This issue will continue to be negotiated as South Sydney Council becomes more willing to talk. Numbers are vital for the Embassy's cause and security, ensuring that enough people are on-site to handle any redneck rampages and ensure maximum visibility for the campaign. More cynical minds than I would point out that Council and Police may have been reminded that an eviction would result in enormous publicity for the Embassy, particularly considering the large numbers of foreign and local media milling around today. As always, things may change rapidly as the Olympics approach and pressure from other politicians comes into play. Sign onto the Tent Embassy Alert centre to be notified of any eviction as soon as it happens through email or your mobile phone by clicking on the link below. Support is still needed. If you can, get down to the Embassy and camp out. Otherwise drop in and show your support. Donations, monetary, material and motivational, are always appreciated. -- Rev Simon RumbleIt seemed the world was divided into good [EMAIL PROTECTED]and bad people.

[recoznet2] Tent Embassy allegedly
ABC News Sat, 3 Jun 2000 13:46 AEST Tent Embassy allegedly attacked Representatives from the Aboriginal Tent Embassy, outside Old Parliament House in Canberra, allege they have been the target of malicious crime. Spokesman Michael Wever claims there have been two seperate attacks on the embassy this week, during which windows were smashed, protest signs pulled down and sacred objects removed. The Australian Federal Police has confirmed officers attended a disturbance at the embassy last night, with only minor damage noted in their records. But Mr Wever says those residing at the tent embassy fear for their saftey. "Rocks are being thrown through the window and things are being trashed around here," he said. "The signs are being pulled down and there's some anger out there in the community about Aboriginal affairs right now." © 1999 Australian Broadcasting Corporation -- ** 'Click' to protect the rainforest: Make the Rainforest Site your homepage! http://www.therainforestsite.com/ ** -- 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] Tent Embassy
The Sydney Morning Herald (print edition) Small 'fill in' article: Tent Embassy The Federal Government has admitted it plans to close the Aboriginal Tent Embassy after years of attempts to remove the structure that for many has become a symbol of the indigenous struggle. Mr Michael Anderson, a founder of the makeshift embassy, set in 1972 to fight for land rights, said the move to close the heritage-listed site would initiate a complete "breakdown in race relations" and "rip the guts out of Aboriginal people".

Re: [recoznet2] Tent Embassy eviction!
What a classic! "The Authority" has always ignored , 'dispersed', removed First peoples. I wonder if the NCA spokeswoman can see the irony of locating herself in a "public health standpoint "in order to silence protest that is requesting Govrnment to address many issues, not the least of which is 'health' . The "Authority" no doubt see the coming millenium celebrations as just another reason to continue the denial of Indigenous reality in this land . All the more reason to support/attend visible protest during a period of international media scrutiny directed at the Olympics, Millenium celebrations ect. -Original Message- From: Trudy and Rod Bray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: RecOzNet2 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Saturday, 7 August 1999 10:35 Subject: [recoznet2] Tent Embassy eviction! >The Daily Telegraph > > Aboriginal Tent Embassy eviction > > 7aug99 > > ABORIGINAL protesters have been served an eviction notice to > dismantle their Tent Embassy outside Old Parliament House. > > The National Capital Authority says Australian Federal Police will be > ordered to drag away the ramshackle buses and lean-tos that make > up the embassy if protesters do not. > > The notice was served under the Trespass on Commonwealth Land > Ordinance.

[recoznet2] Tent Embassy eviction!
The Daily Telegraph Aboriginal Tent Embassy eviction 7aug99 ABORIGINAL protesters have been served an eviction notice to dismantle their Tent Embassy outside Old Parliament House. The National Capital Authority says Australian Federal Police will be ordered to drag away the ramshackle buses and lean-tos that make up the embassy if protesters do not. The notice was served under the Trespass on Commonwealth Land Ordinance. Protesters can be prosecuted and fined $550. "We've been trying to hold discussions and negotiations with the group of protesters to find a conciliatory solution," a spokeswoman for the NCA said. "But they haven't responded to our requests, so we've served them with a notice to either meet with us to discuss the removal of the illegal structures and vehicles dumped there or to do it themselves. "It's a serious problem for the Authority, both for our duty of care and from a public health standpoint. "We have the authority to request the AFP remove the structures if they don't comply."

[Fwd: [recoznet2] Tent embassy protest flares again]
Monday, February 15, 1999 Tent embassy protest flares again Aboriginal tent embassy protesters today lit another fire on the lawns outside New Parliament House after federal Reconciliation Minister Philip Ruddock cancelled a meeting with the group. The protesters moved back up the hill from Old Parliament House this morning after Mr Ruddock cancelled the meeting, saying it had become a publicity stunt. They rejected an offer to meet Mr Ruddock in his office, saying there would be no meeting in Parliament House. "We want to meet with them on neutral ground," said embassy spokesman Michael Anderson. "We should not be forced into and we won't be forced into meeting with their terms. We're not about compromising. If they want us to compromise then they have to meet us halfway." A spokesman for Mr Ruddock said the decision to scrap the meeting was taken last Friday on the grounds that it was going to become nothing more than a publicity event. The protest began outside New Parliament House last week following speculation the Government was considering moving the tent embassy from its site opposite Old Parliament House. The protesters agreed to move back down the hill last Friday after senior Liberal Senator Bill Heffernan personally arranged for the return of 211 ceremonial spears confiscated by police on Wednesday night. Police also extinguished a ceremonial fire lit on the lawns. Senator Heffernan met embassy representatives today and was handed a submission for Prime Minister John Howard. - AAP This material is subject to copyright and any unauthorised use, copying or mirroring is --- RecOzNet2 has a page @ http://www.green.net.au/recoznet2 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."

I have generally found the BBC's man in sydney odd to put it mildly in what he considers news from australia. there's a large slice of appeal to a domestic english audience that doesn't like aussies! but his coverage of aboriginal issues hasn't been bad. coverage in the papers that I see is extremely erratic. haven't seen anything in the british press about bonner, the embassy or constitution. there is very very rarely anything of interest in the american press. paul > > Trudy > > 1734 GMT February 10 1999 CANBERRA Aboriginal elders > planted 211 spear-like sticks into the front lawns of Australia s > Parliament House Wednesday to mark their suffering since > FOX News --- Protest Sticks Planted Outside Parliament 12 31 p m > ET > >Europeanhttp://www.foxnews.com/js_index.sml?content=/etcetera/wires/0210/e_rt_0210_3.sml > > * > > Yahoo Ireland & UK --- - - Yahoo!
