Aboriginal leader chides Prime Minister Tony Abbott for absence at NT Garma Festival
One of Australia’s most prominent land rights activists says Prime Minister Tony Abbott has broken a promise to meet with him and discuss the issue.
Former Australian of the Year Galarrwuy Yunupingu was speaking during the main forum at the Garma Festival near the mining town of Nhulunbuy.
Mr Yunupingu, the Yothu Yindi Foundation chairman, told the crowd – which included Federal Indigenous Affairs Minister Nigel Scullion and representatives from mining company Rio Tinto – that Mr Abbott had promised to attend Garma but never showed.
Yothu Yindi Foundation chairman Galarrwuy Yunupingu :
“He promised me to come to this meeting, to today’s meeting. Well, he didn’t come yesterday. I wonder if he’ll come?” Mr Yunupingu said.
“We’ll excuse him, but he’ll come, and when he does come he’ll get the message.
“It’s all about land rights. Last time I meet him was in this room. It was a brand new building. I said to him that I had a message for him.
He promised me to come to this meeting, to today’s meeting. Well he didn’t come yesterday. I wonder if he’ll come?
“Land rights is the most pressing issue for Aboriginal people in north-east Arnhem Land.”
In a statement, Mr Abbott said he would fulfill his commitment in a few weeks.
