Black GST Supporters Snubbed in Wellington

On Wednesday the 15th of March about 25 people gathered outside the Australian High Commission in Wellington to support the Black GST's Stolenwealth Games campaign in Melbourne, Australia. The group requested to meet with the High Commissioner to present him the demands of the Black GST but he refused their request so the gift was attached to the gate and the Australian flag was burned.

"The High Commissioner's inability to meet with a group of Black GST supporters today is indicative of the way Australia has ignored the plight of the Aboriginal people's whose land they live upon," said spokesperson Jakob Otter. "We reiterate that we are opposed to all festivities that celebrate the extension of any empire, and affirm our solidarity with the Aboriginal people of Australia and those peoples across the globe, including here in Aotearoa, who have paid such a massive cost for these games to exist."

PODCAST: The Blather #13 [Ratbag Radio]

PODCAST: The Blather #13 [Ratbag Radio]
by Doctor Robert Wednesday March 15, 2006 at 12:34 PM
ratbagradio@yahoo.com.au

The Blather talks to our very own genetic designer (who makes a special appearance just to be on the show); chews the fat with a singer in a rock and roll band; tells Tasmanians how they should vote at their upcoming poll;defines what it means to be Aus-tral-ian (yet again!) and says a very very dirty word.
28 mins 33 secs / 13.07 MB / 64 kbps / 44 kHz

Yes it's another edition of The Blather -- naughtier than its ever been...and sounding better than it has!

With something for everyone: (especially Tasmanians of that ilk) and enough satirical jabbering to poke your ear out.


Musical guests: Andorra.

Boring

Yes, I'm sure burning a flag outside his front gate will make him change his mind and heighten public awareness of your 'problem'.

Imbecile.

Please go out and buy a nice pair of incontinence pads so you can crack the shits with everyone and everything wherever you are and whenever you want.

That appears to be what you're best at.

I'm with Mick on this one. Fuck da critics of our country. If people don't like it, they can leave or live as their ancestors did.

No clothes, no alcohol, no TV, no tobacco etc. no bought food. Just nice cold water, fresh air, plants and animals for dinner. Yummy.

Fuck da critics.

What utter filth, that scum should be shot for burning the wonderful flag of our nation, this should be illegal, stolenwealth games? I'm sure the aboriginals would have had something more civilised...
