voici le message que m a envoyer fredy de l asso l Aborigene, le message original en anglais est a la suite:

Bonjour a tous,
Un cri de désespoir nous parvient de Janawirri Yiparka qui nous a laisse un document terrifiant sur le futur sort des Aborigènes.
LA SITUATION EST CRITIQUE ! ! !
Le document difficile a comprendre, ecrit en anglais et tres long et technique, m'a decourage.
Voir Pièce jointe
Une amie australienne, Melissa, m'a alors resumer la situation decrite ci dessous :
Traduit en Français dessous chaque paragraphe

Hi Fredy,

Yes its very good to know this information, to put our attention to it. Its a very very important moment for these Aboriginal groups. If you want me to translate directly, please tell me which phrases? To translate everything into french will take me all the night!

Interessant de connaitre cette info et j'attire votre attention sur la suite.
C'est un moment très important pour les peuples Aborigènes.........
....

But I can give you a summary.

Je peux vous donner un résumé.

The government is putting pressure on Aboriginal communities to surrender (lease) their land to outside companies for a period of 99 years (mining companies etc). That is 4 generations. They propose that this will provide jobs, education and health services to aboriginal people. But of course these things are the basic rights of all human beings.

Le gouvernement Australien fait pression sur les communautés Aborigènes pour qu'ils renoncent à leur Terre et qu'elles soient laissées aux compagnies industrielles minières notamment pour une durée de 99 ans. Soit 4 générations. En contrepartie, ils proposent aux Aborigènes de leur fournir un travail, une éducation et un système de santé. Sauf que ces droits sont, bien sûr, ceux de tout être humain.

The communities have been given only 5 weeks to decide, and do not have all the correct information they need to make a wise decision. There is no guarantee that the aboriginal communities can participate in the destiny of the land during the years of the lease.

5 semaines c'est le délai laissé aux communautés Aborigènes pour prendre une décision sans avoir eu correctement les informations nécessaires pour un jugement réfléchi.
Rien ne garantit que les communautés puissent participer aux sort de leur Terre sur toute la durée d'appropriation.

The decision will be made on the 30th November - very soon!

La décision sera prise le 30 Novembre !! Très bientôt ! (dejà passé ! !)

The author encourages us to communicate this message to many and quickly! And also complain to the Australian Consulat.
Voila. Its a serious situation and at the time this letter was written it has had very little media attention. I don't know if the situation has changed since that time.
I will see on the internet tonight if there is more recent information.
A bientôt, Melissa.

L'auteur du document nous encourage à diffuser ce message à tous et d'urgence !! Et à se plaindre auprès du Consulat Australien.
Voilà; La situation est sérieuse et jusqu'ici il y a eu très peu d'attention de la part des médias.
Je ne connais pas l'évolution de la situation.
Ce soir j'irais aux nouvelles informations sur Internet.

A bientot Melissa

La modification du New Title Act, accord signé pour préserver le droit aux Aborigènes d'appartenir à leur Terre, va priver tout simplement les communautés de leurs terre pour être louées par les exploitants industriels de mines d'extractions notamment comme il en existe dans le Territoire du Nord tel que Elcho Island menacé et pressé par le gouvernement.
Et les autres aussi...
Ces communautés exclues de leur Terre vont se retrouver avec l'obligation de travailler dans les mines pour vivre !!
Alors réagissons maintenant, même si le gouvernement australien s'est déjà avancé, en transmettant ce message à tous vos contacts et organiser une manif plainte en se rendant au Consulat pendant la période des vacances de Noël.
Avant celà, nous allons contacter l'Ambassade d'Australie pour leur manifester notre colère et demander des explications.
Alors il faut d'urgence que les assos se transmettent ces infos et qu'elles paraissent sur le site de France Didgeridoo afin que tous les joueurs soient au courant et que chacun puisse donner son soutien en participant à cette eventuelle manif.
Nous avons du retard mais tout peut aller très vite dans un autre sens si la solidarité fait front.
Toutes les idées de communication sont bonnes à prendre : presse, radio, télé, contact des asso humanitaires comme Greenpeace, Survival International etc....., barbara Glowszecski.....
Denoncer aussi le fait que le Quai Branly est mis avant par les médias pour son exceptionnel cadre d'exposition d'objets d'art premiers, et que pendant ce même temps, le gouvernement s'acharne à manipuler et exploiter les Aborigènes en enfreignant leurs droits.
Je vous remrcie et faites vite CA URGE !!!!

Hello bis,
I 've news from Janawirri Yiparrka. This man is aboriginal and play Didgeridoo.
He was coming in france last year to play in Airvault and give me news about the land right acts.
But some sentences and words are not easy to understand so if you could give me help to translate in french.
see below the message :
"If all you folk are interested in how us Aborigines are treated in Australia have a look , an then lodge a complaint at the closest Aust consular"
TRADITIONAL ABORIGINAL LAND THREATENED
U R G E N T M E D I A A T T E N T I O N N E E D E D ! !
‘Basic services such as education and health care are the right of all Australians and should not be used as bargaining chips to pressure traditional land owners to hand over their land on 99 year leases.’ James Ensor, Oxfam’s Director of Public Policy.
GOVERNMENT CHANGES TO LEASE & PERMIT LAWS ON TRADITIONAL LANDS
On November 30th, traditional land owners are expected to make a decision about the future of their ancestral land. Amendments to the Land Rights Act 1976 will see some of the last standing traditionally owned and occupied lands taken away from Aboriginal people across Australia under harsh Government reforms already underway. Four traditional Aboriginal communities are being targeted in the Northern Territory, (one of which I am currently working and living in, Elcho Island in Arnhem Land), are being heavily pressured to give up control of their lands to a Government body called the ICC on a 99 year lease.
This is an urgent matter, traditional owners and community members have a right to more time and less pressure from the Government to make this decision in just 5 weeks. Most community members and council members are ill-informed about the Bill, due to the heavy use of legal jargon as well as basic literacy barriers. How can we expect these people to make an ‘informed’ decision when they do not understand even the most basic concepts of the Bill?
The proposed lease provisions will effectively take away the rights of the traditional owners to decide who and what takes place on their ancestral lands for 99 years. Companies, services and non-traditional owners will be able to lease land from the government rather than obtaining consent from the land-owners on a case-by-case basis. In effect, the land owners will lose control of their land for four generations.

”The provision for extension of the 99-year leases means that the land may never be returned to my people should this experiment fail," said Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner, Tom Calma. "While I believe that economic development opportunities are essential for the well-being of Aboriginal communities, I don't think 99-year leases will provide that economic opportunity.”
Under these amendments to the Land Rights Act 1976, what will most likely occur is that previously Aboriginal owned townships such as Elcho Island in Arnhem Land, will be leased to non Indigenous people, and the subsequent leases internally may - if they are lucky or fortunate - go to Aboriginal residents. It is highly unlikely that any Aboriginal from such townships will be able to afford the primary lease. It will provide many white people previously without the opportunity for commercial success to gain it at the expense of Aboriginal communities. It will also make things a lot easier and quicker for the mining corporations to wheedle more pristine land out of Aboriginal communities
Agreement to the lease is voluntary in the sense that it does not have to be taken out, but the conditions resemble the current Government's rules of 'wash the kids' faces or you get no petrol.’
In other words, if they don't do it, they will lose services such as education, health and housing provided as an integral right to all Australians.
In contrast, if they agree to 99 year leases, they will automatically be given...

"Around fifty houses [...] and real jobs [and] if the community is safe and signs up to full school attendance, a no-drugs no-violence policy and agree to a 99 year lease to support home ownership and business development opportunities."
According to the Bill, there appears to be no safeguards to ensure that leases and headleases are approved with ministerial AND land council AND the full understanding of traditional owners and residents who may be affected. The Bill outlines that these things must take place, but goes on to say that the subsection which insists upon these requirements is irrelevant to the legitimacy of the lease should they not take place, as long as 'fraud' is not committed. It seems like a convenient loophole included to be just that; an easy way out of such implicit dealings with the actual people affected.
Many aspects of the Bill breach the UN Convention Concerning Indigenous and Tribal people in Independent countries. (See Article 6)
This decision is expected to be made in 3 WEEKS. The first Bill has been quickly and quietly passed without any media attention and has come into action as of October 1st, 2006.
Commissioner Calma said: "I urge the government to postpone the passage of this Bill until there is more detail regarding the impact of the implementation of the legislation and until land owners have been informed and given the opportunity to provide input into this process.” "The federal Government has not consulted with Aboriginal land owners on significant aspects of the legislation.’
We are asking for MEDIA ATTENTION on this issue, as it has received very little so far, probably due to the controversy it would ignite.
- That these traditional communities have the right to more time and more assistance in understanding the legalities of the Bill before deciding on the future of their land.
- That these traditional communities should not be pressured, bullied or used as bargaining grounds.
- That these traditional communities have a right to be part of the legislative process of making laws about the use of and entry into their communities.
- That these traditional communities have a citizen right to the decent housing, health, education and business enterprises that are being promised in return for the 99 year lease.

J'ai transmis ca a des potes australiens bien investis dans l'aide aux Aborigenes face a cette horreur qu'est le gouvernement australien. C'est tout ce qui est en mon pouvoir en ce moment.
C'est vraiment horrible de voir que le gouvernement aus. cherche vraiment a ANEANTIR les Abos, pas seulement a les exploiter en se foutant de leur gueule de facon que je qualifierais d'inhumaine.

Bon souffle.
Vivez vos reves en vivant la vie
