Calling for the reinstatement of the Racial Discrimination Act in the N.T.—what the Victorian Council of Churches (VCC) said last week: ‘We acknowledge the goodwill of governments in attempting to address decades of neglect in the areas of Aboriginal policy, planning and service delivery. However the VCC also believes it is the duty and responsibility of government to ensure that legislation, policies and actions comply in all respects with obligations to which Australia is signatory or for which it has declared its support. The Executive of the Victorian council of Churches calls upon Prime Minister Rudd to ensure that Professor Anaya’s report will be viewed as a valuable contribution to expert policy advice’. We invite you to join parish Social Justice Group members in writing to PM Rudd.
