Clean-Up Provokes Ugly Scenes at Tent Embassy
Clean-up provokes ugly scenes at tent embassy Richard Briggs & Kirsten Lawson Canberra Times 31 October 2002 The Aboriginal Tent Embassy was the scene of a dramatic confrontation yesterday after a rival Aboriginal group burned down a humpy and extinguished the ceremonial fire. Later, police used a metal detector in an attempt to locate a coat of arms taken from Old Parliament House in January and said to be buried under the ceremonial fire. But Detective-Sergeant Peter Budworth said a thorough search had failed to unearth the missing coat of arms. The confrontation came as the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission said it was considering a national conference to settle the embassy's future. Police and the fire brigade were called to the scene early yesterday after local Aboriginal leader Matilda House and supporters went to the site to 'clean up', with the intention of removing all structures except the two sheds that comprised the original embassy. The group burned down a central humpy, extinguished the ceremonial fire and began dismantling tents before police negotiators arrived and, late in the day, persuaded them to leave. This morning, the Supreme Court will hear an application from tent embassy representative Jannette Phillips for an injunction to stop Ms House and others damaging the embassy. Yesterday's was the latest in a series of confrontations at the embassy as the Government has hardened its attitude to what it insists is illegal camping there. The National Capital Authority said it was not involved yesterday, but admitted it had provided large bins and a tow truck requested by Ms House to help her clean-up. -

2013 Northern Rivers Annual Report
ANNUAL REPORT 2013 The names on our ID badges say Northern Rivers, Parsons or Northeast, but that’s not who we work for. All of us, 1,225 strong, work for you. Whether you’re a child in trouble, a parent in need or a member of the community, we are united in our passion, our commitment and our vow: We live and work every day and every night to keep helping you make this world a better place. The names on our ID badges say Northern Rivers, Parsons or Northeast, but that’s not who we work for. All of us, 1,225 strong, work for you. Whether you’re a child in trouble, a parent in need or a member of the community, we are united in our passion, our commitment and our vow: We live and work every day and every night to keep helping you make this world a better place. OUR FAMily he average person on the street would probably agree with the sentiment that “every child deserves a chance.” Well, we’re Tnot the average person on the street. We hold ourselves to a higher standard. And we believe that the children and families of our cities and towns deserve a whole lot more than just “a chance.” We believe that each child and each family deserves every chance at health, happiness, safety and stability. Childhood is such a precious gift, and it represents limitless potential. So why is it that children of abuse, neglect and poverty become objects of mistrust, fear and even scorn by so many members of society? We could tell you at length about how Northern Rivers Family Services represents a new way to help children and families, how we connect them more efficiently and effectively with the programs and services they need. -
National Sorry Day 2017 National Sorry Day - History
School of Mathematics and Statistics National Sorry Day 2017 National Sorry Day - history National Sorry Day is held on 26 May each year to acknowledge and recognise members of the Stolen Generations, and to remember and commemorate the mistreatment of the country's Indigenous population. 1 National Sorry Day has been observed in Australia since 1998. The first National Sorry Day was held one year after the tabling of the report Bringing them Home (May 1997). The Bringing them Home report acknowledged that: 'Indigenous children have been forcibly separated from their families and communities since the very first days of the European occupation of Australia' by governments and missionaries. The report was the result of an inquiry by the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission into the removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families. The children who were removed came to be known as the Stolen Generations. National Sorry Day - politics The 1997 Bringing Them Home report recommended that the Prime Minister apologise to the Stolen Generation. Then-PM John Howard refused to do so. A popular movement to celebrate “Sorry Day” evolved in the absence of formal political recognition from the government. Apology in 2008 On 13 February 2008, then- Prime Minister Kevin Rudd moved a motion of Apology to the Indigenous Australian “To the stolen generations, I say the following: as Prime Minister of Stolen Generation. Australia, I am sorry. On behalf of the government of Australia, I am sorry. On behalf of the parliament of Kevin Rudd became the first Australia, I am sorry. -

Stretch RAP July 2017
Stretch Reconciliation Action Plan July 2017-September 2020 Acknowledgement of Traditional Owners The City of Whittlesea recognises the rich Aboriginal heritage of this country and acknowledges the Wurundjeri Willum Clan as the Traditional Owners of this place. About 50,000 years before colonisation, a diversity of Wurundjeri people, families and communities managed the land that the City of Whittlesea now occupies. Throughout this time the Plenty River and other local natural features provided an abundance of flora and fauna as both a source of food and shelter. The Wurundjeri Willum clan is part of the Wurundjeri tribe and Woi Wurrung language group: one of the many language groups that make-up the Kulin Nation. The people of the Kulin Nation were both Waang (the Australian Raven) and Bunjil (wedge-tail eagle – the creator) people who shared the same religion and language, and lived in what is now metropolitan and greater Melbourne. The pre-colonial legacy of the Wurundjeri people can still be seen today as the Whittlesea area is home to a number of protected and sacred ‘scarred’ trees. These trees were used for making bark canoes or as boundary markers for distinct tribal groups. Today the scarred river-red gum trees serve as a reminder that Aboriginal people have always been, and will always be, central to the social, economic and cultural prosperity of the City of Whittlesea. Throughout this document, the term ‘Aboriginal’ is taken to include people of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander descent. ‘Aboriginal’ is used in preference to ‘Indigenous’, ‘First Nations’, and ‘Koori’. Message from the Mayor As the Mayor of the City of Whittlesea I am very proud to present Council’s Stretch Reconciliation Action Plan (2017-2020). -
NRRT July Update 2013
NORTHERN RIVERS RAIL TRAIL An Awesome R ide 01 NRRT Update July 2013 A COMMUNITY ASSET FOR LOCALS AND VISITORS TO CONNECT AND EXPLORE THE REGION Thank you for supporting this v ery exciting and fun campaign. It has taken some time to get organised but we are now well and truly underway and gaining some serious momentum. The Northern Rivers Rail Trial association is now a formally registered incorporation. Our aim is to build a unique community partnership in the NSW, Northern Rivers Region. Background… The NSW Government suspended rail serv ices on the Casino to Murwillumbah line in 2004. The recently released NSW Government’s Casino to Murwillumbah transport study declares that returning the rail serv ice is not viable for the foreseeable future. In May, the not for profit Northern Rivers Rail Trail Association Inc was formed by a Steering Committee comprising local business philanthropists known as the Sourdough group, community volunteers, local councillors and people working in the tourist industry. The group came together with a common v ision of conv erting the disused railway line from Casino to Murwillumbah into a rail trail, rather than allowing this valuable community asset to continue to go to waste. The Northern Rivers Rail Trail Inc Steering committee Pat Grier AM President Ian Oelrichs OAM Deputy President Cameron Arnold Via Byron John Bennett Community Dr James Cowley Sourdough Cr Sol Ibrahim Byron Council Pat Knight Tweed Council Mitch Lowe Lismore Council Steve Martin Secretary Marie Lawton Treasurer & Supporter Liaison For further information or to be on our mailing list please contact Marie Lawton [email protected] or 0434 552 283 2 Where is it? What is it? A rail trail is a combined bicycle and walking trail developed in a rail corridor using the rail infrastructure as appropriate.
