Tourist Boycott of Australia Campaign
Target:
Open to anyone who cares about Aboriginal rights

Dear Prime Minister Rudd:
We, the undersigned, have joined together to inform you that we are participating in a tourist boycott against Australia.
Our decision began when former Prime Minister Howard adopted draconian measures against Aboriginal people in the Northern Territory.
In particular, we are protesting the intention to institute compulsory medical examinations of Aboriginal children under the age of sixteen.
We consider the overall effect of the policy to be racist, immoral, and illegal in terms of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights.
Our decision to call for a tourist boycott of Australia is a principled stand for human rights, equality, and justice. It is also an urgent and immediate call to effectively remove police and armed forces and, thereby, end the occupation of Aboriginal land in the Northern Territory.
For these reasons, we joined the call from Aboriginal leaders and elders at the International Day of Action (July 14), to end Prime Minister Howard's unjust policies in the Northern Territory.
We have no wish to make this boycott last any longer than necessary. But we will continue to participate as long as former Prime Minister Howard's policies toward the Aboriginal people of the Northern Territory remain in force.
Please act immediately to set aside these draconian and unjust policies in the Northern Territory.
Sincerely,
Tourist Boycott of Australia Campaign

My old people have suffered at the hands of white ignorance and oppresion since their industrial way of life first began with invasion. They are like a plague upon the earth and the Indigenous have suffered where ever they went, but a new day is dawning because the earth wil not sustain parasites, and neither will we.

Simply...the oppression of 1 makes way for the oppression of millions, everyone deserves to have the freedom to choose their own path.

I think a boycott is a good way to send the message that we recognize the suffering of those who are subjugated, for we too may be the next group to be forced into compliance.

Yes I think it would be most appropriate to boycott Australian goods.

in my opinion it is wrong for anyone to attempt to force unwanted action on a race or nation of people simply because they feel as if they know what is best for them. The Aboriginal people were around for a very long time and in my belief have displayed a remarkable ability to survive and thrive. This fact in and of itself speaks volumes to me as to their ability to make their own choices.

This summer I got ill while on a visit to Kenya. The nurse who atteneded to me was an Australian Indigenous person. We are all humans. Such a campaign is based on hate.
