AUSTRALIA DAY AWARD
FOR PARIAH CO-ORDINATOR

The day after Australia Day 1999 - PARIAH members were arrested and imprisoned for "TRESPASS" (at their home of eight years) and "CRIMINAL DAMAGE" (putting up INVASION DAY posters.)

On Australia Day 2000- NT Police presented PARIAH's Co-ordinator with a summons for "possession of marijuana." This charge dates from the 8th of September, 1999-when six armed NT Police raided a PARIAH members Cox Peninsula home to seize PARIAH's computer. The very day, PARIAH's Co-ordinator was charged for casting chickens at a U.S. Navy Cruiser, during an East Timor protest in Darwin.

Once again, PARIAH members are punished for criticizing Invasion Day/Australia Day (and exposing the demonstrable racism of the Mandorah Hotel and Kox Kountry Klub on the Cox Peninsula) by a criminal charge unrelated to LIBEL or DEFAMATION.

Australia Day Conversation with NT Police
Mick: "What about the Aboriginal man who was bashed at the (Mandorah) Hotel?"
Police: "It's been sorted out."
Mick: "Double standards"
Police: (agitated) "It's none of your business!" (Drives off)

"There is a double standard in the enforcement of law and a double standard in the respect for particular laws."

"To ignore evil (racism) is to be an accomplice to it."
Martin Luther King - Chaos or Community? 1967.
