The National Sorry Day Committee presents its credentials as the long established premier National Advocate for the Stolen Generations.
We are making a national statement to the Australian people.
There is now a real danger of the creation by the Howard government of another Stolen Generation.
I have just spent the morning trying to locate my 5yr old son, under the care of the Department of Child Safety. It appears they lost him awhile also today.
I left work to be home before 11am for our contact visit this morning. By 11:25am, I began ringing to search for my son and the CSO bringing him.
Good News at Last!
The Opposition Party have submitted a formal request to the Crime & Misconduct Commission to have the Department of Child Safety investigated under a Royal Commission Inquiry. This report was submitted Friday 15th June, 2007.
WE ARE MAKING PROGRESS.......!!!
It looks as though we have completed Phase 1 of our justice with DoCS.
The Opposition Party, on Friday 15th June 2007, submitted a formal request to CMC to have DoCS investigated under a Royal Commission Inquiry.
To everybody suffering through their own torture at the cruel hands of the DoCS, I wish you well in your ventures and hope to be staying in touch with further announcements, get-togethers and support. Keep sending your stories to the Ombudsman, CMC, Director-General, etc. Have one master copy of your 'Brief Summary' handy to email or send at any time and never, ever stop.

In just days, the leaders of the thirteen most powerful, most polluting countries on earth are meeting in Germany for the G8+5 summit. Climate change is at the top of the agenda--partly because so many of us fought to get it there. But at the last minute, the US government is flatly refusing any serious action against global warming.
A farmers organisation in Paraguay has asked for urgent international help to try and prevent the eviction of and possible violence against a group of young landless farmers in Pariri Province, and to protest against charges brought against the leader of their organisation, MAP for trying to peacefully support farmers whose lands are being taken over by large soya plantations.

A 32 year old woman dies in Sderot from a Hamas missile in Gaza. Israel launches a brief helicopter attack and then nothing. Meanwhile, 78% of the public wants of a ground attack to snuff out he rockets. The government forgets to announce, "Why should we? We've got the Arabs in civil wars in Gaza and Lebanon now. They'll do the dirty work for us."
The 2007 Middle East War has erupted into half-blossom and this time, our soldiers aren't at risk...so far.
