[csaa-forum] FW: MEDIA RELEASE: John Howard admits Aboriginal land grab intent

[John Tebbutt]

Jessica Martiniello¹s thesis on the Œland grab¹ behind the smoke screen of
Œindigenous children overboard¹ [ie yes children did go overboard but family
were always there to assist and were not the ones who Œthrew¹ them] gains
even more credence from the analysis below. For reports on Howard¹s cynical
role in Canadian indigenous politics see:

John Howard admits Aboriginal land grab intent

Media Release
Friday June 29, 2007 9:15am WST
For immediate Release
No Embargoes

"Prime Minister John Howard has this morning admitted, in response to
questions by Neil Mitchell on Southern Cross radio, that "if" it comes to
taking lands away from Aboriginal communities and Aboriginal people, he will
adequately compensate them", WA Rights group Project SafeCom said this
morning.

"The Prime Minister's comments, given in his usual, passive, non-denial
style in which he makes an initial admission, using his frequently used
'policy by stealth' methodology, have outed Mr Howard's true political
intent of the dramatic 'invasion' of the army against the backdrop of health
and community workers into Aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory,
with the otherwise valid agenda of creating safety for especially the
children in those communities," spokesman Jack H Smit said.

"It is now abundantly clear, what many pundits have suspected during the
last week," Mr Smit said. "The taking away of lands from Aboriginal people,
and given those lands over to commercial interests and mining companies, was
always Mr Howard's intent."

"We know, from the now confirmed departure of the Canadian Stephen Harper
government from Canada's previous long-standing commitment to the UN
Convention on the Rights of Indigenous people, and confirmed influencing of
Canada by Mr Howard in this Canadian decision, where Mr Howard stands in
relation to the Rights of Indigenous People," Mr Smit said.

"Now we also know what his intent is for Australian Indigenous people." Mr
Smit concluded.
