This is disgusting!  CRA-RTZ is using indigenous people and a lot of 
money to clean up their image - what about cleaning up their act!?

The concerts are on:
 Saturday 25 May in Sydney at the State Theatre.
 Sunday 26 May in Melbourne at the Concert Hall

Not Drowning Waving
Archie Roach
Kev Carmody
Ruby Hunter
Yothu Yindi members
Frances Williams
George Telek (PNG)
Kaiwopsi (PNG)
Pius Wasi (PNG)
Buia

Is there going to be some kind of action or statment at the performances?
Some people will probably be outside handing out leaflets. (And then 
they'll rush in to see the show - It's going to be great!)

Does anyone know how the demo yesterday at the CRA-RTZ AGM went?

Who organised the concerts?  
Do the performers know who is the "Principal Sponsor"?
Mr NDW, David Bridie, should know better!
