a treaty with Australia's Indigenous peoples. Candles will be lit for
justice and peace advocating an Indigenous treaty on Friday 6 June,
2003, and every following first Friday of the month throughout 2003.
Walkers can gather with candles at Government House from 6.45.PM for a

beliefs, lands and waters, to stop any nuclear waste dump on traditional
lands, and from affecting the environment via a Treaty & Bill of
Rights."
Candle Light Walks are held in Adelaide at Genocide Corner in front of
Government House on the first Friday of the month. These walks express
the concern of those who wish justice for Indigenous peoples. There's an
opportunity to listen to Ngarrindjeri, and other Indigenous Elders speak
on issues affecting their people.
The microphone remains open for anyone to offer their thoughts on
current issues, to sing a song, or to share stories of struggle. Please
feel free to attend, and show support for a Treaty with Indigenous
people, a Bill of Rights, justice and peace, as well as opposition to
any nuclear dump in South Australia.
Another monthly Candle Light Walk is to begin in Sydney, and soon Candle
Light Walks in other States may follow. Don't worry if it will just be a
small group of you to start with as Vincent Lingiari said: "from
little things big things grow" ! Respect Indigenous people's traditional
land and waters. Light a candle and walk for justice and peace. Join the
Indigenous call for a TREATY.
Respect Indigenous rights. Recognise Ngarrindjeri culture and spiritual
beliefs. Look after the Coorong and its wildlife. Protect this unique
Australian wetland. Look after Lake Eyre. Conserve this unique cultural
environment. Protect its cattle and tourist industries.
NO SOUTH AUSTRALIAN NUCLEAR WASTE DUMP

LL:AA: URGENT support for ABC needed
URGENT- ABC needs the support of those who value ABC scrutiny on important public matters. 4Corners program re Woomera Please read below and send this email on to others who appreciate the ABC's role in scrutinising government, investigating and bringing full information to the public, and who understand that government interference with the independence of the ABC is an affront to democracy. Then send an email and/or phone to give your feedback on the program: Send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a copy to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 9626 1699 and ask to leave a message on the General Comments Line There appears to be a concerted campaign being run to stop programs providing information about asylum seekers. After the 4Corners program on Woomera, apparently the ABC has been inundated with negative comments demanding that the ABC stop showing these biased programs. It would some people are unhappy that the ABC had access to the footage it used. As always, those who appreciate what the program exposed are not the ones who are contacting the ABC. So pls, get cracking in support of the ABC's efforts. And phone/write to the media to oppose the current Government assault on the ABC's independence. -- -- Leftlink - Australia's Broad Left Mailing List mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archived at http://www.cat.org.au/lists/leftlink/ Sponsored by Melbourne's New International Bookshop Sub: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsub: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
