Aboriginal Protester Converge For Games
Date: 12/03/06

Hundreds of Aborigines are converging on Melbourne in a bid to embarrass the federal and Victorian governments over their indigenous policies as the international spotlight focuses on the Commonwealth Games.

An estimated 300-to-400 Aborigines have converged on the city's King's Domain parkland, with many more expected to arrive ahead of the Games opening ceremony on Wednesday night, according to protest organiser and Aboriginal elder Robbie Thorpe.

"We are converging on this site," Mr Thorpe told AAP. "There's people coming in all the time."

Mr Thorpe said he did not have an exact figure on how many Aborigines would take part in the two-week protest, but said they could be measured in their thousands.

Mr Thorpe said a decision would be made whether the groups will camp in the parkland but, in the meantime, they have set up a "sacred fire" to burn during the Games.

The protesters have gathered under the banner "Black GST" , with GST standing for Genocide, Sovereignty and Treaty.

On Monday, they plan to drop a banner from a city pedestrian bridge spanning the Yarra River, reading "Stolenwealth Games".

"The Commonwealth spotlight is on Melbourne, the only time whey you can make an impact and embarrass Australia internationally," Mr Thorpe said.

"It's all our issues. How do you live in a country where genocide is not a crime?

"We have got nothing to lose."

Mr Thorpe said it was not the protesters' intention to disrupt Games events.

"We are all keen sports people," he said.

Mr Thorpe questioned why Aborigines did not have their own team in the Games.

"Why haven't we got a team in all this," he said.

"We have got a flag, we can stand alone as Aboriginal people."

Protest leaders are inviting all people, including athletes and other international representatives to the Games, to go to the parkland, have a cup of tea and discuss issues of importance to Aborigines."

"We need a new awareness of indigenous rights among Australians and people everywhere that the Stolenwealth Games can deliver," Mr Thorpe said.
