Deadline passes to remove Indigenous camp. :

"The deadline has passed for a group of Aboriginal protesters camping in Melbourne's King's Domain to dismantle their shelters.

The group set up a protest camp during the Commonwealth Games as part of a campaign for Indigenous rights."

These people are part of the oldest race on the planet and the way the news portrayed them was really distasteful. They are quietly spoken. They have stopped people from interfering with their rituals as we stop people from messing with our gala performances. They use sticks to hold up and one was asking a woman not to proceed and it was made to sound like it was awful. He was not aggressive and his hooded top ("hooded man") was a normal windcheater top. I cannot stand it when we treat them with such impunity. Compared with the Villawood protestors these aborigines are just quietly doing what they think is right. We don't treat white people like this. The man with the crotcheted hat was simply and quietly explaining their resons for being there. They are just being tribal. They are allowed to be. They live here and it is their land as well. A bit of repsect and some realistic negotiations on their own turf in their own manner would mean so much. I cannot believe how incapable we are of adapting to the needs of their culture... and the truth is, they are far less demanding than we are. Pushy, pushy, push, push, push.
