Open Letter To Mike Reed

OPEN LETTER TO MR REED:
POLICE MINISTER N.T.

Camels, donkeys, horses and pigs are considered 'feral' if they escape captivity. They are shot and poisoned.

The first 'feral' humans in Australia were the Aboriginal people. They too were shot and poisoned.

Mike Reed, thinks to insult the Jabiluka resisters, by calling them "ferals".

A uranium mine creating 20 million tonnes of radioactive tailings in an extensive wetlands system..?

...Using the police to force this project through against the wishes of the legal owners?

The only people Mr Reed insults are the 'non- ferals'. Accusing them - by their silence - of complicity in this ethical and ecological disaster.

Aboriginal people have suffered enough injustice through greed-inspired racism.

It just can't go on - we must all become feral!

Mr Reed... Feral means FREE!
