2013 Australia – Significant Aboriginal Dates in Aboriginal History
15 04 2013Monday 15th April 2013
Today is the 22nd Anniversary of the 1991 Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody
National Archives of Australia Fact Sheet 112
The Royal Commission produced a number of reports, including individual reports for each death investigated. These were presented separately as they were completed. The Commission also produced an Interim Report, which was presented on 21 December 1988. The final report, signed on 15 April 1991, made 339 recommendations, mainly concerned with procedures for persons in custody, liaison with Aboriginal groups, police education and improved accessibility to information. Many of the reports are available on the website of the Australasian Legal Information Institute.

2013 Australia – Significant Aboriginal Dates in Aboriginal History
5 04 2013Friday 5th April 2013
Today is the 16th Anniversary of the Bringing them home: The ‘Stolen Children’ Report (1997) highlighting the attrocities of the Stolen Generations
Human Rights Commission ‘Bringing Them Home’ Report
Comprehensively tracing the past laws, practices and policies affecting the lives of Indigenous peoples is crucial to Australia’s understanding of its history.
Society cannot simply block out a chapter of its history; it cannot deny the facts of its past, however differently these may be interpreted. Inevitably, the void would be filled with lies or with conflicting, confusing versions of the past. A nation’s unity depends on a shared identity, which in turn depends largely on a shared memory. The truth also brings a measure of healthy social catharsis and helps to prevent the past from reoccurring.

The Recommendations:
http://www.humanrights.gov.au/social_justice/bth_report/report/appendices_9.html
We are calling on people all around Australia and overseas to use the power of the pen to write strong worded letters to every politician you know.
Politicians do not take any notice of telephone calls or emails so we encourage you all to write expressing the disgust you personally feel regarding the current removal of Aboriginal children from their Mothers, families and communities.
Your letters will accompany thousands of other letters as we launch a new campaign to stop this practice that continues to take away our children and destroy our culture.
When you write your letter please send us a copy at lateralloveaustralia@bigpond.com, post them on Facebook to our pages https://www.facebook.com/brian.butler.549. and https://www.facebook.com/groups/178619712271513/
Stay strong and optimistic!
Yours in the fight for Unity through Lateral Love & Spirit of Care,
Brian Butler & The Lateral Love Team
