[Jon Stratton]

   Hi Kiley and everybody,
     This is perhaps a good moment to announce that Aileen Moreton-Robinson's new edited collection called _Sovereign Subjects: Indigenous Sovereignty Matters_ is in the process of being published by Allen & Unwin.  It was due out in September but I have just been told that it will be launched on July 12th.  Hopefully, this means that the book will be generally available then.  I have just received an advance copy so it is definately around.

Mark and others,

I think we should all be a little wary of the assumption that everyone on this list is non-indigenous or has not themselves come from a violent and dispossessed background. Debating which approach seems to be the least intrusive and precarious means nothing when these basic assumptions are underlying your whole argument. Some of us are undoubtedly directly affected by these new governmental measures and not so easily able to distance ourselves enough to pick it apart so abstractly. I feel sick in the stomach to think that many of our families escaped persecution somewhere else to have to now endure watching others endure the same slow descent As I stated to you privately Mark, to witness my niece feeling distinguished as a potential bad parent because she is aboriginal is particularly emotional. Noel Pearson is surely not the only indigenous voice worth listening too. I for one would like to hear a female voice, someone like aileen moreton-robinson perhaps?
