Breaking news about 8 new World Heritage sights confirms how intensely nationalistic we are still by the universal failure to mention sites other than our own. The Age, the Herald Sun, ABC On Line, the Brisbane Times, The Sydney Morning Herald, the Adelaide Advertiser all crow about the Opera House achieving the accolade, praise John Utzon the architect and mention the global icons (the Pyramids, etc etc) and other Australian sites already on the list.

But I had to go to the Phillipine Star to discover the other sites who had got up. From the built environment welcome Japan's Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine site on the southwest of Honshu Island in Japan .Then there is the Parthian Fortresses of Nisa in Turkmenistan; Samarra City in Iraq from the 9th century; and the mixed cultural site from Lope-Okanda in Gabon.

Last but not least that wonderful citadel, Shah Jahan's Red Fort in Delhi, built for the great Mogul 'King of the World' who had built the Taj Mahal over the tomb of his wife, Mumtaz.

Re: Howard Challenged on Aboriginal Policy

Of course, this new policy is a reaction to a problem that has been around for a long time. It can be seen as a great vote-catcher and has been well-written, well-delivered and carefully choreographed to appeal to the social conscience of well-meaning Australians. I hope that the Australians who most need the help of the politicians and policies of our country are not ignored in the race for parliamentary seats for the "I'm the best!" contestants for adolescent behaviour - Robin Crowley

               ********************************

Re: Howard Challenged on Aboriginal Policy

I fully support the statements by the former minister for aboriginal affairs in the Whitlam government. There were many positive directions for education and self determination which have been reversed by the Howard government. e.g ATSIC, University training for Aboriginal nurses and the threat of nuclear waste being deposited on Aboriginal land - Hazel Wilson

Re: Howard Challenged on Aboriginal Policy

We were very impressed with this article written by Les Johnson. It made a lot of sense and seems a much better approach to improve the lives of our aboriginal people, which is so long overdue - Rob Eldridge and Tom Shenfield Byron Bay NSW

Re: Howard Challenged on Aboriginal Policy

Thanks for the insight from an old hand. It reminds us that things just go around in circles and Howard is thrilled to be invading the failed state of the outback, on the grounds he is eradicating self destructive weapons of mass destructions, designed & pushed by western entrepreneurs. A tragedy disguised as a mission of mercy - Verity

Great article! Really enjoyed the Scarface breakdown and the insights into Pauly Shore's amazing career ;-7 - 4WT

Re: Strings Attached

Loved this satirical piece. Pissed myself over Uncle Tom Pierson and Bral Mough's new paternalism being branded "radicalism". But why stop with the "Blackfellas" - all dole bludgers should be fined when they hit the piss or when their kids truant. Maybe we should bring back the lash. . . - Peter Greenland
