don it was not a petition - u were not presented with any petition at yr meeting!!!!! have u lost the submission? if not read it again and u will see 'sending me alone' refered to going to yr meeting - nothing at all to do with my private email to someone else - which u have read and responded to what was sent to yr 'what now for nsw aborigines' meeting was not off topic - read it!!! many at the meeting insisted that ray read it out - finally, at nearly the end of the meeting - ray called for a vote from the floor because of pressure from those gathered - u and ray were the only two who didn't want it read out as the show of hands revealed - u both blocked it to the last - so much for yr claims to democractic process - it was begrudgingly read out with contempt and sarcasm and slights about anarchist web spaces ... rather than focusing on what was said in the submission if u think what happened at yr meeting was democratic - then there is not much hope for democracy - the only hint of democracy was when the audience pressured for it to be read and i call this courage, not democracy which would have required no pressure there is solid proof (video) of what happened at yr 'public' meeting, and the agro and silencing that abounded - anyone who wasn't there and feels that they now need some tangible 'evidence' let me know and i will try to find the video - if u weren't there that is a contribution for a tape, copying and mailing it would be appreciated as i am not funded, or send a blank video (vhs) to PO Box 1 Eora Country (Annandale NSW) 2038 with stamped addressed envelope and allow time to locate it (have to find the person) then copy it my post to this list about the grandmothers' petition has nothing to do with the isja - isja is just one org that wont support it - not because they doubt me i think as isja didn't support an active postion on the block before meeting me again individuals interested can send their individual contact and affiliation details which will be forwarded on - if anyone wants to put this invitation into a newsletter - go ahead - would be please to get lots of people who are interested in the ISSUES that affect daily life on the block for u personally don - i am happy to meet u on the block for discussion - let me know when u are available - spare the list the details please and advise me directly can we discuss on this list, issues that have been raised on the block? the reasons that isja is not supporting the block would be a good start - i don't mean because of division (individuals) within the group - i mean the reasons in relation to the issues and non support cheerless susanne ------------------------------------------------------- RecOzNet2 has a page @ http://www.green.net.au/recoznet2 and is archived at http://www.mail-archive.com/ To unsubscribe from this list, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED], and in the body of the message, include the words: unsubscribe announce or click here mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=unsubscribe%20announce This posting is provided to the individual members of this group without permission from the copyright owner for purposes of criticism, comment, scholarship and research under the "fair use" provisions of the Federal copyright laws and it may not be distributed further without permission of the copyright owner, except for "fair use."
