Dear Networkers -Set out below is some of the coverage of the visit of Professor James Anaya on his arrival in Australia. Australian Associated Press - aap - had their news item picked up by all manner of media from metro media to regional tv stations.
This blog is receiving quite a number of visits from people coming from Google searches in Australia and overseas. Clearly, there is a great deal of interest in Professor Anaya's visit. Could we substitute the word hope, do you think? It seems to me, dear Networkers, that a great deal of hope is attached to Professor Anaya's visit - hope that some sort of sense, compassion, consultation will capture and tame this beast commonly known as The Intervention.
Hopefully, Professor Anaya is able to discern the signs of failed public policy and that Kevin Rudd, Jenny Macklin, and Paul Henderson will face the reality of the consequences of their actions and inactions.
Welcome to UN Special Rapporteur, Professor James Anaya - by Jenny Macklin, Minister for Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs at the National Museum of Australia, 090817

This blog does not take Anonymous comments. Experience shows that comments cluttered with "Anonymous" are boring and people don't know whether "Anonymous" is one person or many. This is not a decision about freedom of speech. It is a decision about boring or unwillingness to be known by even a pseudonym.
