Aboriginal resources - newsletters & mailing lists

News clippings  

To stay up-to-the-minute with Indigenous (and refugee) affairs as reported by Australia’s print media, radio and TV, subscribe to this one.

It’s free and compiled as email by activists.

You’d get between about 8 and 15 clippings daily.

Ask Trudy Bray to put you on the distribution list. As happily as she’ll put you on it, she’ll take you off it again if you wish. It might be an idea to give it a run shortly before a trip to Oz.

Trudy writes: “These postings are provided to the individual members of the group without permission from the copyright owners, for purposes of criticism, comment, scholarship and research under the “fair use” provisions of the Federal copyright laws.”
