Images may distress

This page is presented (appropriately) as evidence of the disrespect and bias against Aboriginal people and activists in the Northern Territory - hosted by the Oz (Australian) indymedia network - (apart from the adelaide imc) - which continues to exclude Aboriginal people and censor dissent

It is also evidence of the ugly bias that has seen Australia's first indymedia collective to include Aboriginal people - attacked and marginalised in the lowest way - by a network supposedly created to empower marginalised people

NZ imc have since removed the offending images and articles - but continue to host the same attitudes of bias against the darwin collective - as well as censoring any debate about that bias

No network on the www hosts years of hate and misinformation against Australian activists apart from the Oz indymedia network. Nor does any site resort to tactics such as these to attack Australian activists

Why are we permitting these anti-activist sites to remain broadcasting their misinformation 24/7...

...when they censor any dissent about this singular misuse of indymedia on their sites and imc lists?

This is one page of the hundreds hosted on the Oz indymedia network aimed at discrediting activists in the Northern Territory and destroying their independent media collective there

This action is necessitated by the censorship of any criticism of the Oz Indymedia network (even on imc lists) - an incredibly hypocritical stance by a network that has defended the years of hate posts and misinformation they host against activists, with an appeal to the principles of'Open Publishing'

7th oct 06

For reasonsthey were unable to explain NZ indymedia saw fit to host these hate/race comments (and others) - until the darwin collective took direct action to have them removed - it is just one of the many hate/race articles posted on Oz (Australian) imc sites for years - in order to attack and destroy an independent media collective comprised of Aboriginal people and anti-racism activists in the Northern Territory

The original article was posted to refute attacks (all over the Oz imc) by someone sympathetic to the DIMC - not Mick

The images used to insult and distress the darwin imc were taken from http://onemiledam.tripod.com and included a dead Aboriginal friend who committed suicide - NZ continue to censor any criticism of their bias against the Darwin collective

We do not believe these demonstrably biased collectives have any right to interfere in the Darwin collective's affairs

This is a recent 'proposal' from someone else who has never met me - identified as a "racist" by our Aboriginal members and other collective members - Andrew (melbourne indymedia) certainly acted in an 'ignorant' manner

"Any collective wishing to call itself Darwin Indymedia would therefore require, as part of it's constitution, to exclude this individual (mick lambe) and would automatically forfeit it's place as an IMC if he were ever to become a member." [1] - proposal by Andrew Lowenthal

Obviously I take this personally and will not tolerate the existence of a network that uses such ugly, racist tactics to enforce its will as well as excluding Aboriginal people from the Oz network

Brisbane indymedia is gone thanks to autocratic interference from the people who have dehosted the DIMC twice and wiped hundreds of darwin indymedia's articles from the www

Concentration of media is a real problem in this country and two regions in Australia which are essentially US bases are excluded from the world wide indymedia network they supported and joined in good faith as autonomous entities - this is worrisome

The historical domination of Melbourne and Sydney over debate in regions far removed from them in Australia is not something that means much in cyberspace - if the available forums are open, unbiased and prepared to accept the diversity they claim to embrace

The DIMC were working out of One Mile Dam Aboriginal communitywhen the race/hate campaign to destroy our collective began on sydney indymedia

Indymedia and the demise of dialogue
16 Apr 2006

"Mick Lambe (the bully who runs this site: dimc.axxs.org) which by the way is NOT an official
Indymedia website, will hide any posts which attempt to challenge his self-imposed authority."


"Mick Lambe will delete all posts which challenge his self-imposed authority."



- time for clarification
Mick Lambe deletes anything on this website that challenges his dictatorial domain

by Indymedia Watcher


1. Mick Lambe (the bully who runs this site: dimc.axxs.org) which by the way is NOT an official
Indymedia website, will hide any posts which attempt to challenge his self-imposed authority.

_______________

Then why would you post them?

_______________

2. Mick Lambe is currently slandering anyone who dissents against his power of editorial control.

_______________

This is untrue.
________________________________________


3. Mick Lambe suffers from an inability to see the world in real terms.

this is also untrue from what we as a collective have seen.

a. If you were to disagree with any tiny thiny he says, then you are a racist.

If somthing is racist then Mick calls it as racist.

b. This coming from a man who is as white as a bag of ice - a man with a long history of
repeated violence and abuse. He is a hostile and dangerous man. And he pretends to be part of a collective.

______________________


Tit-for-tat accusations are unsubstantiated and we as a collective have no time for this.

_______________

4. Mick Lambe talks like there is a "we" involved. But there is not. It is only Mick who controls this site.

Mick is our Indymedia liason person. It is expected that his profile will be larger than ours.

____________________________

5. Here's a list of recent comments to this site:
http://dimc.axxs.org/index.php?action=admincomments

There you can see a list of posts that Mick Lambe has DELETED (which goes against every
indymedia protocol). But you can't access them because he has denied you public access to any dissent.

However here is a list of hidden posts:
http://dimc.axxs.org/index.php?action=setnewswire&newswire=127

--------------------------------

You can read the hiddens by hitting the 'show hidden' button. The deleted have been deleted for good cause.

_________________________________

6. Mick Lambe is the sole editor of this site. This is not a recognised Indymedia site.
There is NO EDITORIAL POLICY. There is NO EDITORIAL COLLECTIVE.

This is not an indymedia site.

_______________

There is more than one editor of the site.

-------------------------

7. Mick Lambe will delete all posts which challenge his self-imposed authority.
a. Mick Lambe is not a member of any recognised Indymedia community.

We currently dont have an indymedia domain.

b. All Indymedia sites MUST have an editorial policy. This site does not have an editorial policy.
This site is NOT in any way a member of the global Indymedia network.

- We have an Editorial policy.

hope that helps

Re: Indymedia and the demise of dialogue

the fact that this clown Mick or other people supporting him spend all their time posting
longwinded and incomprehansible rants, kinda proves he is a nutcase if you ask me

I'm pretty sure none of us give a shit. could the editors just delete all this crap?

 

Yeah injustice is cool
17 Apr 2006
NZ imc are backing people they know to be liars. That impacts innocent people.

Why can't they explain that decision?

 

Injustice is

Getting slashed by a beer bottle.

Never call the cops, no matter how many women get slashed or bashed. - Mick Lambe

Note the insensitive, repetitive, spam that NAP use?

Show some respect for Aboriginal people.

And Mick Lambe who is "family" to many Aboriginal people.

Never call the cops

You never call the cops on family!

Whats a few bruises and black eyes amongst family.

Never call the cops.

 

NZ are condoning racist spam
17 Apr 2006
Your bias and lack of respect for Aboriginal people shines through.

No-one cares about what happens on Aboriginal communities - except people like Mick

The implication that Mick's family were involved in this woman's trials is insulting and inaccurate.

 

Mick Lambe is a white fella

"kinda proves he is a nutcase if you ask me"

Doesn't prove a thing Mr G, all it proves is that the laws of physics do apply even to a child's inflatable punching toy. You bop it, it springs back, you bop it again, and it springs back again (the yes he is, no hes not 'thing' going on here).

I just hope this doesn't descend into something nasty or even worse, retarded? Or are we already there...on both counts?

 

 

 

 

 

good work
17 Apr 2006

Deny you are supporting people who lied to oceania
18 Apr 2006
deny you are not just pissed off because the (then afilliated) DIMC wouldn't let you people call them liars with impunity.

deny you are supporting the racist and other personal attacks innocent people suffered because people like you wouldn't support an afilliated imc.

or say nothing NZ - and mock all that 'open and transparent' stuff you harp on about.

 

Insulting and inappropriate images removed on adelaide
18 Apr 2006
we already know NZ are biased and do not respect Aboriginal people.

 

Re: Indymedia and the demise of dialogue
18 Apr 2006
tell me why i should keep reading and using indymedia? Lately its just been a vehicle for people to slag each other off. theres too much bitching and bullshit on indymedia.

 

You should wait and see
18 Apr 2006

if indymedia can recognise they falsely accused an activist and Aboriginal people of lying and make ammends - or whether they are just a pack of middle-class wankers who can't admit they're wrong.

None of this would have eventuated if NZ etc... had supported an afilliated imc instead of treating them like shit.

- mainly andrew mcnaughton's work - a biased mf who thinks he is above reproach and who refused to accept evidence from the DIMC.

 

No accountability - No transparency - Just bias

'cept for Adelaide, and some of Melbourne.

Perth imc who started this crap have nothing to say after calling the DIMC liars and then taking their darwin domain away from NAP.

Their attempt to return the darwin domain means little, if they support the liars who conned them -- with their silence.

I do!

 

This whole thread is a confused mess
18 Apr 2006

Oh Dear. What a pickle!!

Great. Now the internal and incoherent bickering of IMCs is news.
 
Inappropriate use of images

You are a class act NZ

 

Who thinks he is a shithead?

everyone hates mick.jpg
I do too!

 

Can someone hide this?
19 Apr 2006

It's clearly not news .. (to start with, I could go on..). Maybe the ed crew could consider adding this kind of post pro-mick/anti-mick to the spammers list?

 

 

Re: Indymedia and the demise of dialogue
19 Apr 2006

All fun and games, but a bit of a waste of time.

 

Blame a biased NZ imc
20 Apr 2006

 

For allowing this insulting carry on.

No one in the NT has a problem with the DIMC

 

No blame Mick Lambe
20 Apr 2006

 

For posting this crap in the first place.

 

Mick posted the truth
20 Apr 2006

 

He didn't put up inappropriate images of dead Aboriginal people to attack anti-racism activists.

Andrew Mcnaughton is a stuffed shirt who can't handle criticism and supports racism and liars to assauge his ego

 

White Australian indymedia?

Any articles we write end up on this network with threads of hate and links to more misinformation - it is a deliberate ploy to destroy cyberactism - to poison the meme well - intentional or unintentional - that is the result

Some intentional tactics include anon threatening and ugly emails to darwin collective members, my email being posted to anti-spam lists, Even threats and abuse at our homes and in the streets by some of the people we expelled - encouraged by the sydney collective who met with them in Darwin (not us)

Who do these people think they are?

Hypocritically - any criticism of the people hosting these race/hate posts is censored on 'their' network

More to come... sydney, perth and melbourne's 'ownership' of 'independent' media in Australia

Sent to the appropriate imcs and lists

"...objections to any errors or logical inconsistencies are welcome

I won't go public for a while to ensure the work is completely faithful to the facts, unlike you mob"

mick PARIAH

(no complaints so far)

Deadline for objections passed

"Thank you for supporting this iniative - obviously I'm very pleased you all agree with the facts and internal logic - your support will be acknowledged

http://pariahnt.org/Oz-indymedia/pages/NZ-Aotearoa-racism.htm

Hopefully NZ imc will do a feature

I have contacted NZ imc - they too seem happy with my work as there have been no objections"
