I am reposting the main rules for this list as they appear on the
website as a reminder of the purpose of the list and the attitude
expected of the participants.
The referendum affected all of us - Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal
Australians - and was therefore a legitimate topic for discussion.
At this point, however, I think we have reached the point where nothing
of value can be added to the discussion while bitterness and
recrimination abounds. I therefore suggest we drop the subject and
concentrate on other matters.
The Ngarrindjeri community at Kumarangk needs all the help we can give
and Bruce will shortly be calling for a Spring campaign against
mandatory sentencing in the NT. These are just two of many issues that
need our attention.

*While all members have a dedicated aim of working for reconciliation
and justice for Aboriginal Australians, there are
bound to be many different viewpoints on how to attain these goals.
Members are encouraged to discuss and debate
vigorously but in language that respects the viewpoint and humanity of
others.
*Any personal disagreements which go outside the boundaries outlined
above, should be kept private. If any member is
found to be harassing others on the list - even privately - that member
may be asked to leave the list.
*Members are encouraged to take part in discussions and debates. If you
only feel comfortable contributing one line on
an occasional basis then, please, do contribute that. We need ideas,
education, information, inspiration as well as support
for lobbying and other activist projects.
*Although some discussion of off topic issues is encouraged please do
not post items irrelevant to the purpose of the list.
