Instant ‘Sacred Site’ created in Melbourne

An indigenous activist/malcontent with some gripe against the country talks about an illegal camp, sacred site set up in Kings Domain, Melbourne.

This though, is a home and a symbol. And that sacred fire over there is a living conduit to the Creator. You don’t mess with that.

Maybe not, but someone sure as hell has messed with his brain.

I know it’s almost passé to say it but if a white fellow lit a fire in the Kings Domain he would be sent packing by the constabulary and invited to discuss the matter with the Magistrate should we have been so bold as to argue the matter. The Age wouldn’t have bothered reporting the incident but get a fellow with victim pigmentation involved and they’re all over it.

Melbourne bylaws forbid camping in public parkland, but the authorities are caught in a cleft: they are being lambasted on talkback radio for inaction, but news vision of a forcible removal of the campers would give them the oxygen of more publicity and perhaps attract more activists — of all stripes.

So remove them at 2.00 in the morning after having doused the living conduit to the creator with a bucket of water, half consumed goonies or whatever comes to hand.

Robbie, this weeks token victim, then threatens us with wasting our money as well as our time.

And there’s always white man magic, he notes, smiling. “If they come to kick us out, we’ll wait and see the documentation — and then we’ve got a whole army of lawyers in Collins Street just waiting to have a go at them.”

Taxpayer funded Legal Aid no doubt.
