australia Day; A Call for Its Banning

[Peter Lucas]

To many right thinking folk, both Aboriginal and even some spiritualy
devoid whites, the day will never be seen as a national day of
celebration. It is a

true day of shame and emabaressment. The landing at Sidney Cove marks
the beginning of rape, unnecessary and brutal deaths, and the
continuing struggle for

survival by Aboriginal people in Sidney and around 'australia'.

The Centenery in 1888 was a proud celebration of british and
australian acheivement. Aboriginal people boycotted the celebratary
events but their abscence

went unnoticed by mainstream aussies. By 1938 though, Aboriginal
people in Sidney were becoming more organised in their political
activities. Bill Ferguson

organised the first meeting of the Aborigines Progressive Association
in 1937 in preparation for an event to mark the 150th anniversary of
the british

arrival. Ferguson, William Cooper (leader of Victoria's australian
Aboriginal League) and Margaret Tucker organised "A Day of Mourning
and Protest" and a

conference for January 26, 1938. This event was held in the Australian
Hall at 150 Elizabeth Street after they were refused use of Sidney
Town Hall. The

meeting was the first Aboriginal civil rights gathering and was a
major step towards redressing the wrongs of history against Aboriginal
people. Leaflets

advised that "Aborigines and persons of Aboriginal blood only are
invited to attend" the Day of Mourning and Protest Conference at
Australian Hall on 26

January 1938. It attracted some 1000 Aboriginal men and women and was
the culmination of ten years of action by Aboriginal people against
the policies of the

NSW Aborigines Protection Board.

AND WE WISH TO CELERBRATE THIS SHAMEFUL EVENTS??!
