Pilger: Onder het mom van racistische mythe, een onontgonnen landgreep in Australië

Zondag, 2 November, 2008

In een rapport voor de Beschermer, John Pilger beschrijft de teleurstelling achter het voorwendsel voor een „nationale noodsituatie“ die door de Australische overheid op Inheemse gebieden wordt verklaard. Een politieke schreeuw van „sparen de kinderen“ kan de winsten van uranium en giftig afval ook betekenen.

Met zijn banken die in de warmte van de zuidelijke lente worden beveiligd, is Australië geen nieuws. Het zou moeten zijn. Een episch schandaal van racisme, onrechtvaardigheid en brutality wordt omhoog behandeld op de manier van apartheid Zuid-Afrika. Vele Australiërs zweren in deze stilte samen, nooit wensend om op de waarheid over hun maatschappij na te denken? s untermenschen, de Inheemse mensen.

De feiten zijn niet in geschil. Duizenden zwarte Australiërs bereiken nooit de leeftijd van 40. Een volledig te voorkomen ziekte, trachoom, verblindt zwarte kinderen aangezien de epidemieën van reumatische koorts hun gemeenschappen verwoesten. De zelfmoord onder de wanhopende jongelui is gemeenschappelijk. Geen ander ontwikkeld land heeft zulk een verslag. Een doordringende witte mythe, die de Inboorlingen van de staat uitlogen, dient om de schande te verbergen die het geld de federale overheid zegt het aan inheemse zaken eigenlijk gaat naar zich het verzetten van inheemse landrechten besteedt. In 2006, werd één of andere A$3billion te weinig uitgegeven? of het resultaat van creatieve boekhouding? rapporteerde de Ochtend van Sydney aankondigt. Als de kinderen van apartheid, ontvangen de Inheemse kinderen van Thamarrurr op het Noordelijke Grondgebied minder dan de helft van de onderwijsmiddelen die aan witte kinderen worden toegewezen.

In 2005, beschreef het Comité van de Verenigde Naties voor de Verwijdering van RassenOnderscheid het racisme van de Australische staat, zich OPNIEUW veroorloofde een onderscheid geen ander ontwikkeld land. Dit was tijdens de decennium-lange regel van de conservatieve coalitie van John Howard, waarvan coterie van witte supremacistacademics en journalisten de waarheid van geregistreerde volkerenmoord in Australië, vooral de horrific scheidingen van Inheemse kinderen van hun families aanviel. Zij stelden argumenten niet ongelijk aan die op gebruikt door David Irving om de ontkenning van de Holocaust te bevorderen.

De vlek door media als voorloper aan de recentste ronde van onderdrukking is lange huisvriend aan zwarte Australiërs. In 2006, zond het programma van vlaggeschip lopende zaken van het Australische het Uitzenden Bedrijf, Lateline, schrille beweringen van uit? de geslachts slavernij? onder de mensen Mutitjulu op het Noordelijke Grondgebied.? Het programma? s bron, die als wordt beschreven? anonieme de jeugdarbeider? , later werd blootgesteld als een federale overheidsambtenaar van wie? bewijsmateriaal? was discredited by the Northern Territory Chief Minister and the police. The ABC has never retracted its allegations, claiming it has been ?exonerated by an internal enquiry?. Shortly before last year?s election, Howard declared a ?national emergency? and sent the army to the Northern Territory to ?protect the children? who, said his minister for indigenous affairs, were being abused in ?unthinkable numbers?.

Last February, with much sentimental fanfare, the new Labor prime minister Kevin Rudd made a formal apology to the first Australians. Australia was said to be finally coming to terms with its rapacious past, and present. Was it?? ?The Rudd government,? noted a Sydney Morning Herald editorial, ?has moved quickly to clear away this piece of political wreckage in a way that responds to some of its own supporters? emotional needs, yet it changes nothing. It is a shrewd manoeuvre.?

In May, barely reported, government statistics revealed that of the 7433 Aboriginal children examined by doctors as part of the ?national emergency?, 39 had been referred to the authorities for suspected abuse. Of those, a maximum of just four possible cases of abuse were identified. Such were the ?unthinkable numbers?. They were little different from those of child abuse in white Australia. What was different was that no soldiers invaded the beachside suburbs, no white parents were swept aside, no white welfare was ?quarantined?. Marion Scrymgour, an Aboriginal minister in the Northern Territory government, said, ?To see decent, caring [Aboriginal] fathers, uncles, brothers and grandfathers, who are undoubtedly innocent of the horrific charges being bandied about, reduced to helplessness and tears, speaks to me of widespread social damage.”

What the doctors found they already knew ? children at risk from a? spectrum of extreme poverty and the denial of resources in one of the world?s richest countries.? Having let a few crumbs fall, Kevin Rudd has picked up where Howard left off.? His indigenous affairs minister, Jenny Mackie, threatens to withdraw government support from remote communities that are ?economically unviable?. The Northern Territory is the only region where Aborigines have comprehensive land rights, granted almost by accident 30 years ago. Here lies some of the world?s biggest deposits of uranium. Canberra wants to mine it and sell it.

Foreign governments, especially the US, want the Northern Territory as a toxic dump. The railway from Adelaide to Darwin, which runs adjacent to Olympic Dam, the world?s largest uranium mine, was built with the help of Kellog, Brown & Root, a subsidiary of the American giant Halliburton, the alma mater of Dick Cheney, Howard?s ?mate?. ?The land grab of Aboriginal tribal land has nothing to do with child sexual abuse,? says the Australian scientist Helen Caldicott, ?but all to do with open slather uranium mining and converting the Northern Territory to a global nuclear dump.?

What is unique about Australia is not its sun-baked, derivative society, clinging to the sea, but its first people, the oldest on earth, whose skill and courage in surviving invasion, of which the current onslaught is merely the latest, deserves humanity?s support.
