As Howard steps up his chilling plans to occupy the Northern Territories, activists acround Aotearoa are standing up in solidarity with the Aboriginal resistance to this new wave of oppression.
[ Solidarity Statement ]
"John Howard's seizure of indigenous land for five years has been labelled a backdoor way for the Government to force Aborigines to sign up to 99-year leases for private home ownership."
[ Read More ]
"Under the cynical guise of protecting indigenous children from sexual abuse, the Howard government announced on Thursday a“national emergency plan to take control of dozens of Aboriginal communities throughout the Northern Territory and impose virtual martial law conditions. Over coming weeks, police and troops will flood into as many as 60 towns and camps to enforce a series of draconian measures.
Welfare and family payments will be halved, with the seized portions transferred to food and clothing vouchers. All payments will be cut off if children fail to attend school, or are considered“at risk”. Forced labour will be imposed, via“work for the dole”programs, to“clean up”communities."

"A series of direct and chilling parallels exists between the Howard government's police-military takeover of Aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory (NT) of Australia and its military interventions in the Solomon Islands and other neighbouring South Pacific states." [ Read More: WSWS ]

Re: Resistance is Existance: Aotearoa stands in solidarity against Australian Racism
The purpose of the meeting is to organise a public demonstration on the 14th of july in solidarity with indigenous peoples of the northern territories of australia and any other peoples affected by jon howard's racist attacks and his white supremacist regime. And to discuss further actions and on-going solidarity.
Please forward this to anyone you think would like to come to the meeting.
Indigenous communities in Australia have called for a national day of action to Stop the Genocide on July 14 check out
uriohau.blogspot.com/ or bloggreen.wordpress.com/2007/06/28/stop-the-genocide/ and a call out for international solidarity has gone out.
Are you involved with any groups that would be willing to join the call to end the persecution of the Aboriginal people and sign their name to this day of action? Is there anything you can do in your community to raise awareness of the travesty of justice happening here at this time?
Thanks. mark

Can someone who was there do a write up?
Direct action shut downs Auckland [Australian] consulate
"Black and WHite
Unite and Fight
for ABoriginal
Land Rights!"
"Get thr troops out now,
get the troops out now,
Get the TROOPS, OUT, NOW! inside occupation of "
very good speeches from all the groups in support-
Julz and Joe from SW, Martin Hirst, Lecturer in Media studies at AUT, Jared from Workers Party, Jim Gladwin from Citizens against Privatisation, and statement read out from Kulin Nations in occupation that broke through police lines.
Awesome Aboriginal flags and banners, organisers have pledged more direct action in weeks to come.
Comrade Tane Feary arrested- big posse went up and did a polics station picket that saw him released after an hour. Tane, a victim of police brutality, charged with assualting a cop. Heaps of people have filled out police complaint forms and this case will be fought- heaps of witnesses saw him strangled as protest broke through.
No white media covered the event. Maori TV was there and will be showing it tonight at 11pm. Niu FM, Auckland's Pasifika radio station, also covered the protest live. Video and pictures to follow from protesters soon. Check out www.unityaotearoa.blogspot.com or www.indymedia.org.nz
Hope this inspires comrades in Australia to take direct action. Also australian embassies throughout the world should get the same treatment.
Aboriginal Australia has been invaded.
Aotearoa has stepped up to the Front Line.

Re: Resistance is Existance: Aotearoa stands in solidarity against Australian Racism
Date: 2 July 2007
Auckland 6am: There's growing support for Aboriginal communities after moves by the Australian Government to clamp down on what it says is a major problem of the abuse of children..
Trade unions and anti-racist groups will protest outside the Austalian Consulate in Auckland today....
And Green Party MP, Metiria Turei, says it shouldn't stop there. (listen)
Australian prime minister John Howard has announced a series of radical steps in response to what he says is a damning report on child abuse in indigenous territories.
Howard's introducing a ban on sales of alcohol and pornography, enforced by the military if need be, and welfare payments conditional on children attending school.
Part of the plan is to take control of Aboriginal land to improve property and public housing, paying compensation where necessary.
But Solidarity Union Secretary, Joe Carolan, says it's heavy handed and racist. (listen)
Medical camps have been set-up where it's believed voluneteer doctors will examine about 23,000 aboriginal children under the age of 16.
But Aboriginal health experts have told media that the medical checks are "highly inappropriate" and culturally insensitive.

Word from the Kulin Nations
First, some news from Aotearoa. Yesterday there was an occupation of the
Australian Consulate in Auckland against the invasion of Aboriginal lands
and in solidarity with Indigenous brothers and sisters facing John Howard's
racist attacks. Well done to our friends in Auckland for the excellent
solidarity!
Word has it that a solidarity action is also planned outside Australia House
in London on 14 July ..... so it is now an international day of action!
Re: Resistance is Existance: Aotearoa stands in solidarity against Australian Racism
Would also like to thank my friend Craig from Maori TV and his lovely assistant for getting the footage and making a copy available for me to take over to Australia with me tomorrow.
Good luck to the Wellington crew for your event.
Thanks again to everybosy who came along and also to those who sent their wishes and support.
Kia kaha,
Julz

Re: Resistance is Existence: Aotearoa stands in solidarity against Australian Racism
The little sub-campaigns the govt have been doing are astonishing. Theyve just banned Kava for aboriginal people, despite its use as a safe alternative to alcohol (It was actually imported by the previous labor govt years ago in an anti alcohol campaign).
The conservative campaign here is bizare. How the *fuck* are a bunch of 18yo jar head soldiers supposed to solve deep social despair issues. Nobody denies theres problems in the towns and long grass communitys. But the govt yet again fails to see the real picture.
The govt bans grog for blacks and not whites
The govt bans porn for blacks and not whites
The govt bans kava for blacks and not whites
The govt removes the aboriginal communitys right to exclude people it sees as trouble makes
shuts down the medical centres
talks about selling the land to mining companys
..... and then wonders why aboriginal people are having self esteem problems.
