Here's just a small list of others whose goals
were to make a difference:

Albert Namatjira,Eddie Mabo, Cathy Freeman, Archie Roach,
Oodgeroo Noonuccal (Kath Walker), Vincent Lingiari, Lowija
O'Donoghue, William Cooper, Kevin Gilbert, to name just a few.

This list only scratches the surface of Aboriginal history.

This is interesting... Ttbn will like it more because it relates to Australia.

Article Title- Hawke and Keating were overt socialists once attending Minto communist training camp for Aborigines

"I naturally carried out inquiries into why commonwealth vehicles and Labor members were visiting the property known to the locals as Camp Haveta [Nudist Colony] Minto Bush Club was it to engage in a game nude volley ball?

Camp Haveta was the front for the Communist Party of Australia since 1958 and was used as Communist Training Camp at Minto, near Campbelltown, and the land was once inhabited by the Dharug people Also the Eureka Youth League and Young Communist used and enjoyed the property.

It was an educational facility allowing long residential schools, as well as the occasional weekend seminar on Communism. The first principal of the school was Eric Aarons who used teaching methods he had learned in China, the curriculum revolved around the works of Karl Marx, and focussed on the particular problems of Australian industry and politics.

Also Kevin Cook was frequently at Minto, as a communist and Builders Labourers Federation member, and more and more often as an Aboriginal activist.

Minto was important to new left this opening of the party, hosting seminars on gay rights, feminism, radical lesbian separatism, the anti-war Vietnam War movement and the campaign for Aboriginal autonomy. Indeed, members of the Communist Party of Australia were already seasoned campaigners for Aboriginal equality and key events like the planning of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy took place at Minto."

I wonder if Foxy and Paul1405 have been to Minto? I shudder to think!

I wonder if CM ever prays, has a faith, or ever goes to church?

It might help him if he did.

A very troubled soul in need of divine help.

No. I've never heard of or been to Minto.

I've been to Bathurst, Windsor, the Hawkesbury, Wagga
Wagga, Albury Wodonga, Wentworthville, Parramatta,
Strathfield, Kensington, Maroubra, Manly, Bondi,
Port Macquarie, Kempsey, Byron Bay, Adelaide, Canberra
- to name
just a few.

Do they count?

I could list all the places overseas I've also
been to - but the list would be too long.
Minto was not on my list. Although I have been
to Narrandera. I even bought a hat there one summer.
Boy was it hot.

Do they count?
Foxy,
Depends in what context. If it's in relation to this thread then, no it doesn't mean a thing !
