CHRIS UHLMANN: Kim Sattler has had several public positions on what happened next. She was first reported as having no part in the protest, then as saying she simply repeated what she had been told by Tony Hodges. She recanted after a call from the Prime Minister's office. This is what Kim Sattler told Ross Solly on ABC Radio in Canberra yesterday.
ROSS SOLLY, ABC RADIO: It's incredibly important, because if Mr Hodges told you that Tony Abbott had said that it's time to tear down the Aboriginal Tent Embassy, then...
KIM SATTLER: At no point did I ever use those words, Ross, and this is exactly what the problem is.
VIDEO has emerged of a Canberra union figure telling Aboriginal tent embassy activists that Opposition Leader Tony Abbott had called for the structure to be pulled down. The vision, screened on ABC TV, shows tent embassy representative Barbara Shaw speaking to a woman who is out of camera range, but whose voice can be heard. The ABC report has identified the woman as Unions ACT secretary Kim Sattler.
It is difficult to blame the populace of australia when they're all still dreaming, so I ain't mad at them,
Why does it matter? It is not relevant to the topic. I am white. I do not believe I was racist at all unless you refer to the use of gwa which is simply meant as foreigner or those who are not the "traditional owners of this land" (a phrase I do not like to use but which is easiest to ally peoples understanding) As for the white australia policy comment well the very destruction of what is both and embassy and statement of protest has been on the agenda for well over twenty years and if they could have removed it sooner they would have, simply look at how many times the police have been onsite, but they like all may only do what is allowed them.
And in the accounting of this distribution of wealth did you tally in the generational damage which has been done?

Tragedies have occurred and recompense is attempted, it's not really that silly.
