Indigenous Justice Rides 2010!
In July, people will be travelling from NSW and Qld on a trip to Alice Springs to attend a convergence for Aboriginal rights. Aboriginal communities in the NT are fighting to defend their land, law and culture against racist policies and government land grabs.
The Justice Rides are about exposing the realities of life under the NT intervention, and supporting Aboriginal people's fight for justice.
Indigenous and non-Indigenous people will travel together and demand:
- End the intervention: Aboriginal control of Aboriginal affairs
- Reinstate the Racial Discrimination Act: Abolish income management
- Real jobs and real wages: No Basics Card scam
- Stop black deaths in custody
- End uranium mining on Aborigianl land: full land rights now
Along the way, the buses will be stopping at a number of significant places where Aboriginal communities have been involved in long land rights struggles against mining corporations and racist state and federal governments. This includes Mutawintji, Ampilatwatja and Roxby Downs.

Stop Israeli terror: condemn the attacks! Lift the siege!

condemns the outrageous, illegal and murderous attack by the Israeli

Force on the civilian flotilla carrying aid to Gaza.
Israel's assault kills twice. The theft of urgently needed humanitarian aid that was destined for the starving people of Gaza and the murder of up to 19 innocent people by the Israeli commandos is inexcusable.
