Good day again! Just wanted to share the latest bit we just received from our colleagues in Australia. This is a disturbing bit of news.... Talk about 'sleight of hand' here. Well, read below.

ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CULTURAL RAPE BY PRETEND ABORIGINALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It has come to our attention that a group of WHITE AMERICAN MEN inFlorida in the USA are pretending to beAustralian Aboriginals and are making money off it, they EVEN PAINTEDUP!! This cheap exploitation MUST STOP!!!The group calls themselves Dragonfly Rythms and also have a sideproject called Didge Revolution, here is their

website: http:/www.dragonflyrhythms.com/

These mob should be put in their place. It is one thing to support theAustralian Aboriginal People, it is a totally different thing to cover yourself in mude (reminscent of people putting on "Black Face" to look like African Americans), do fake dances and tell bullshit stories about Aboriginal culture to make yourself some money.

Check their website out, pass it on to ALL YOUR MOB and find theiremail addresses on teir website and let them know now offensive this isand that this sort of CULTURAL RAPE is not tolerated nor is it supportedby the Australian Indigenous Communities.

The language above may be strong but, the people of Australia have a point in being in control of telling their own story straight. For this, who can blame them for the anger?

All the best and see you next time!
