OTHER MAILING LISTS
Reconnet
The purpose of this list is to provide an active, mutual information and assistance communication network for those who are currently involved in Reconciliation and related activities, or would like to be. The focus is on current practical Reconciliation issues primarily, but not exclusively, at local community level, mainly stemming from, but not limited to, the AFR and ANTaR/ReconciliAction and similar programs. E-mail lpollack@sydpcug.org.au for more information.

Newsclips
It is my opinion that reconciliation and the fight for justice for Aboriginal Australians is assisted by having as wide a knowledge of the issues as possible. For effective activism, a familiarity with current issues affecting Indigenous peoples can be important when a quick response is needed and it was with this in mind that I began a newsclip list a couple of years ago.
The clippings are, of necessity, from the mainstream media and it is important to remember that they should be read with that in mind. The topics covered are fairly broad in that they cover not just reconciliation but other issues that affect Aboriginal Australians such as the environment, native title, unemployment, Indigenous health, the justice system, policing and politics.
The number of messages depend on the news available and will range rom about 6 to 15 per day. The "reply to" is set to RecOzNet2 to facilitate discussion of the topics in that forum. If you wish to receive the newsclip list email Trudy Bray, the current list owner.
