Baganan’s August Message

Hello and hi to everyone out there

There are some interesting and informative happenings in the newsletter

Beyond blue has made a break through and has now contacts all over the nation which is good to hear as people don’t usually want anything to do with anyone in that condition but there is a network of people who know what its all about so if you feel that you cant be understood because your beyond blue then give them a call.

Racism in Townsville article shows that things are still going on in the deep north nothing has changed as us mob who grew up there can tell you ,and when you see teenagers getting run down on the streets and left to die . My symphthey goes out to their parents and brothers, sisters and all the family of these children. That should never have happened and in the 21st century when race relations has supposed to have come all long way we still see this happening.

I was privileged to have meet up with the parents and family of one of the racial hit and run victims in Townsville and see how much strength they have to go on despite this horrible thing that claimed the life of their loved one. They are asking people to help in any way they can so that this doesn’t happen to anymore Aboriginals in Townsville.
We have seen a lot of people fall victim to racism over the past 30 years let alone the 200 years.
No wonder the palm island court case is changed to Brisbane as the defendants risk being hit and run in Townsville before they get to court

“Out of the box” housing report includes ecological housing for extended families and answers some of the too hard basket questions of where and how to house everyone. There needs to be more home grown vegetables and bush tucker to be planted around these houses so that they can enhance the landscape and be more self sufficient and be healthy. And water tanks too!

Sometimes the white bureaucrats need to ask the Murries (Qld. Aboriginal people - ed.) how to do things because the bureaucrats don’t understand and they never will understand what it is to be Aboriginal because they are not Aboriginal.

Murries need a glimpse of what life was like without or before the “Qld Act” and mission system (Qld.’s laws that made all Aboriginal people wards of the state - ed.) , then we can let our spirit be free. Murries haven’t been able to dream because the mission system dictated to us what we can and can’t do. But we are not under the Qld act and mission system any more so we should embrace prosperity, peace and healing.

see ya soon
