Black Art of Dog Whistling.

Australia’s Prime Minister, John Howard, this week capped off a long career of anti-Aboriginal politics which has earned him my title of Public Racist Number One. His abuse of power runs true to form as he again targets black people after receiving a report into alleged sexual abuse of children in some Northern Territory Indigenous communities. On Monday he received the report, the following week our army is occupying Australia’s black communities, all funds are cut off, bank accounts frozen, administration offices occupied, computers and records are seized and every child is to be medically examined and questioned. Were other measures even considered?

The black community of Mutitjulu at Uluru is now run by John Howard.

I cannot imagine these happenings in any other Australian community under the guise of stamping out paedophilia.

After ten years of knowing neglect, this Prime Minister acts now. Now when his career is almost over. He’s past pension age with public ratings lagging far behind a much younger opponent. Whatever spin John Howard puts on his recent show of force against a totally demoralised minority, I cannot accept it. He has a history of playing racist politics and I believe he is at it again.

I feel despair for the families and communities that John Howard has invaded with calloused regard for the innocent, bloody utter despair.


New South Wales Parliament - Ms Sylvia Hale [15 December 2006 - 3.29 p.m.]:

‘During his first term as Opposition leader, John Howard saw potential electoral advantage in playing racial politics. His comments in July 1988 promising a reduction in Asian immigration if he became Prime Minister established his credentials as a politician willing to play the race card if he thought it would win him votes. He was widely condemned for those comments and forced to withdraw them, but the lesson he learned was not that this sort of politics is destructive and wrong. Rather, he learned that his appeal to racism had to be more subtle. He learned the black art of dog whistling.’
