Western Australia’s deplorable pace of change is glacial Submitted by Gerry Georgatos on Tue, 22/09/2015 - 10:02am By Gerry Georgatos - courtesy of The Stringer - http://thestringer.com.au/ - Last year I founded a campaign to urge of the implementation of the Custody Notification Service (CNS) across the nation but without delay in Western Australia and the Northern Territory. In meeting Federal Ministers and State Governments I implored the wisdom of this move – in reference to the saving of lives. In NSW, the CNS has led to zero lives lost of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islanders detained in police watch houses – since 1998.Geography:AustraliaPromotion:Feature Read more about When will they implement the CNS?

The statistical narrative is startling and indicts the nation but there continues an effective silence.Geography:AustraliaPromotion:Feature Read more about Do not play with people’s lives – Climate of death247 reads It is not like me to cry - our children should not see suicide as the solution Submitted by Gerry Georgatos on Tue, 22/09/2015 - 9:50am By Gerry Georgatos - courtesy of The Stringer - http://thestringer.com.au/ - 18 years young, Phillinka died on October 18 last year. At the time, at her anguished mother’s request I wrote of the loss of Phillinka and of so many others in the Kimberley. I am once again in the Kimberley – surrounded by the most pristine nature and by the loss of so many young lives.Geography:AustraliaPromotion:Feature Read more about It is not like me to cry - our children should not see suicide as the solution300 reads 1 in 6 jail rate and 1 in 3 suicide rate are tools of the oppressor – institutionalised racism Submitted by Gerry Georgatos on Tue, 22/09/2015 - 9:44am By Gerry Georgatos - courtesy of The Stringer - http://thestringer.com.au/ - Globally, the impacts of colonialism have seen a widening divide between the First Peoples of lands they once inhabited effectively uninterrupted for tens of thousands of years and the new dominant populations who at most are only hundreds of years old. The dominance of these new populations, whether they are the majority or the minority, has been delivered on the back of ruthless oppressor/oppressed dichotomies.Geography:AustraliaPromotion:Feature Read more about 1 in 6 jail rate and 1 in 3 suicide rate are tools of the oppressor – institutionalised racism220 reads By Gerry Georgatos - courtesy of The Stringer - http://thestringer.com.au/ - The presumption that Australia’s modernist racist past is being whittled away has long been a fallacy and every once and a while shows its hand. The modern Australian nation arrived on the back of invasion, apartheid, genocidal policies – justified by the worst forms of racisms. The invaders continued on as oppressors and wrapped racist narratives around the dispossessed and oppressed.Geography:AustraliaPromotion:Feature Read more about The makeup of Australia’s parliaments is racist250 reads The following was written by the now deceased predator back in 2001.

All these organisations whether the Salvation Army, Mission Australia and the Council of Social Services are stating It is getting harder to provide for them. They do not have enough to go around. Australia is in the grip of increasing hardships. The poor are getting poorer. The homeless have no chance. But I have been heartened by a campaign by that veteran social justice fighter, Gerry Georgatos – a campaign for homeless friendly precincts. Geography:AustraliaPromotion:FeatureKeywords:homeless Read more about Veteran campaigner half way to homeless friendly precincts1 comment1057 reads Pro-Palestinian activists shut down Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems, on anniversary of Israel’s ‘Protective Edge’ assault on GAZA Submitted by Karun on Mon, 06/07/2015 - 11:55am At 8am members of the Melbourne Palestine Action Coalition (MPAC) shut down the headquarters of Israeli arms manufacturer, ELBIT SYSTEMS, at 235 Ingles St Port Melbourne to mark the first anniversary of the 2014 Israeli ‘Protective Edge’ assault on Gaza.
