I've been there several times. What a great place! A stone's throw from Brisbane.
Bring Julian Assange Home Now!

'If the United States' government is making an example of #JulianAssange – an #Australian, NOT a #USA citizen – to dissuade other journalists from publishing the #truth about illegal US government activity, then it is the job of the Australian government to protect him.
Whether or not he is found to have committed a crime, it's terrifying that the rule of law protecting Australians from capricious government action can be trashed in this manner.
Julian has lost 13 years already to confinement, and now the United States is threatening him with life in prison for telling the truth in exposing the murder of innocent civilians during the ironically named #OperationEnduringFreedom.
The United States values its relationship with #Australia. It values our newly minted deal providing critical access to our mineral wealth. It values its ability to maintain a permanent military presence in the South Pacific through our close and longstanding relationship.
Our government needs to recognise its role in protecting one of our own and lean on the advantages Australia provides to the US to bring Julian Assange home now.' #Senator #MalcolmRoberts #queensland

The Governor of Queensland, William MacGregor, commented on Aboriginal reserves in 1914:
“The most remarkable fact in connection with all the camps I have seen is the paucity of children... This is very regrettable for several reasons, but more especially because it will become much more difficult to work the North-West stations when there are no more natives to assist.” Forde, 1990: p. 18
