PHOTO ESSAY: Tent Embassy anniversary (what the media didn't show)

Are you trying to say that he actually wanted it torn down. That is not the case. His sentiments were that it reason for its beginnings have changed and that the world should move on. There is a difference.

Looks like a well run peacefull protest to me but the right wing media particuarly the Gobels/Murdock press will always foster devisive lies to try to divide and conquer us.

I am an indigenous man and a retired secondary teacher. I twice visited the tent embassy in the late 1970's I was young, angry and had a bachelor of education degree . The Australia wider Community was a very different society. It was widely feared and hoped that my precious Aboriginal people were "dying race" . Almost four decades after 27th/May1967 Aboriginal people were still in social,political, and economic shackles. In 2012 it is "the same old same old as was since 26th/January/1788. Everything has changed; but absolutely not much has changed. Each succesive Commonwealth Government has for the most part like the Indigenous Native Americacn saying "White man speaks with a forked tongue" . The Gillard Goverment readily spings to mind. "Blackfullas" don't know who to trust . I do not necessarily trust Tony Abbott but he is different in as much as he spends lot of his own personal time in remote communities helping indigenous chilren. I was taught by Catholic Nuns and Priests and my Father always referred to himself as a Socialist. Before we promote the ALP to sainthood how about we scutinise a little history. ALP inflates it's claim as reformist .The dole ,sickness benifits , child endowment , austudy and abstudy were legislated by the Liberal goverments as far back as Menzies. In conclusion I personally think that whatever we think of Tony Abbott he did not "badmouth" Aboriginals or demand the removal of the Tent Embassy .........Wongatha man, Milangka skin .Somewhere East of Kalgoorlie Western Australia. I have finished speaking
