We are calling for a global boycott of tourism to Australia. Their has been an accusation by the Howard government of Australia that their is childhood sexual abuse happening amongst the Aborigines in the Northern Territory.
"JOHN Howard will seize control of Aboriginal land in the Northern Territory, banning alcohol and pornography and using the military to attack the "national emergency" of alcohol-fueled sexual abuse of children." The key words one must pay attention to is "...will seize control of Aboriginal land..." Just like the Iraq war, it turns out that this land grab is actually based on a LIE! In an article by Guy Rundle about the "Little Children Are Sacred" that has started this land grab by the ultra elite of Australia and their corporate owners, foreign and domestic, it is PROVEN that this theft of land and dignity is based on an assumption. "The Inquiry was not told many stories concerning intra-familial child sexual abuse. However, given the experiences of the community mentioned above, and noting the findings in other Australian jurisdictions, it is safe to assume that it is more prevalent than was identified in consultations. Also, given the perilous state of many communities, it may be on the increase." (p.63) It turns out that this is, indeed, a land grab on behalf of the Australian government as is indicated by this Indy Media article. "Two issues specifically - mining companies have applied for more exploration permits in the Northern Territory, the Jabiluka uranium mining operations at Kakadu have already hit the media because of the mining company's applications to the Government to significantly expand its operations, including establishing new mines at Coronation Hill, and another critical issue - nuclear waste. The Howard Government has already mooted that nuclear waste should be dumped in the Northern Territory, on Aboriginal lands. Aboriginal traditional owners are absolutely opposed to this. We have a long history of deaths and illness from radiation, from the atomic tests at Woomera in the 1950s to the current high incidences of carcinomas in the community at Kakadu near the Jabiluka site. The main obstacle to the Federal Government's desired expansion of mining operations in the Northern Territory and nuclear waste dumping is, of course, the Aboriginal people who have occupancy of, and rights under the common law to, their traditional lands." Because of these lies, the impending land grab, and the immediate threat of state sanctioned sexual abuse by the PM of Australia, John Howard, we are calling for a GLOBAL BOYCOTT of tourism to Australia. Please spread this information far and wide and help considering or suggesting other actions that may help us in stopping the illegal activities of the PM of Australia, John Howard, upon the Aboriginal peoples of this nation.
