BURMESE PLIGHT EXPLAINED FOR NT



Burmese demonstrating outside a French Embassy. See various websites for further information including US Campaign for Burma.org. which includes video that contains strong comments by Barack Obama,Bill Clinton , Ban ki-Moon , Archbishop Desmond Tutu and others. The Darwin media and the Henderson Government cannot remain silent on this connection with Darwin through INPEX. Chief Minister Paul Henderson must raise the plight of the Burmese when he is hosted by Total in Singapore and should announce he is going to do so before he departs.The NT and Australia cannot adopt a holier than thou stance in this matter as when the Indonesians were murdering, raping, plundering and oppressing the East Timorese, Australia signed an agreement to share the oil wealth of the benighted country. Only through an alert media and strong campaigning for human rights in government and international organisations can the mass of humanity influence multi- national companies and dictators.
