Comments on: “Stabilise, Normalise and Exit” http://castironbalcony.media2.org/2007/06/24/stabilise-normalise-and-exit/ A blog by an opinionated mother of two, which might lie idle for a while sometimes. The blog, that is.

I hope things have moved on since Tampa and the electorate are less trusting. I heard Wesley Aird on the ABC last night and he was asked the question (I'm paraphrasing) why does this mean that the aboriginal communities have to have their land taken away from them? He replied that it was all about the right of every child to wake up every morning without the fear of abuse, rape, etc. As it the removal of aboriginal lands (Nothing to do with mining or uranium disposal, of course) is the direct fix for child abuse. Interviewer didn't pick him up on it. I notice on Blogocracy and other places they’re going for it. I hope things have moved on since Tampa and the electorate are less trusting.

Howard will press on with his police action regardless. There's no reason to give him a free pass on the political spin agenda.

I'll be printing out the PDF today for public transport reading. The impression I get from other people and from the news reports is that the Howard / Brough response doesn't really address what the report recommends. And what about the Breaking the Silence report? That came out last year and we didn't have "send in the army"! I’m positive the one I linked to was Cam – can we have pedantry at 10 paces?
