Even before the first colonists had left London the first Protector of Aborigines for South Australia had been appointed, charged with the duty as 'ombudsman' to act on behalf of the Aborigines in their dealings with Government and colonists. Twelve men in all were to occupy the position until 1940, when it was absorbed into the new Aborigines Protection Board.
In an era before Government 'spin' and political correctness, these men wrote unexpectedly frank and revealing reports which give an excellent and rather surprising picture of the times. One might expect Government reports to be tedious reading, but these are lively and full of human interest. This book publishes extracts from these reports which show how the Protectors struggled to find solutions to the same problems that baffle even the most modern of today's policy-makers, solutions which were largely sympathetic to Aboriginal expectations and desires.
About the Authors Alistair Crooks is a retired geologist who has worked widely in remote parts of Australia. This field work led to contact with many remote area Aborigines, and a deep interest in Aboriginal culture and Aboriginal issues. On retirement in 2014 he decided to explore the South Australian library archives to research various Aboriginal topics where he joined forces with Joe Lane, who had been doing a similar thing.
In 1966 Joe Lane married Maria Rigney, a Ngarrindjeri Aboriginal dedicated to early childhood education for Aborigines, after which they worked jointly for Aboriginal advancement for 43 years. In the 1980s Joe and Maria moved into roles involving academic support for Aboriginal tertiary students, with Maria winning a Masters in Education and a senior lectureship in Indigenous student support until her death in 2008. From his retirement at that time Joe has been researching, typing and making available on the internet, a rich vein of primary source material from government and institutional sources.
The book is dedicated to the memory of Maria Lane, n e Rigney.

Описание: Power and counterpower in the space of silence
I want to invite you on a journey; a journey of self-love, to be more specific. I wish to share with you the experiences I've had going two years without shaving my legs, not wearing a bra, and going au natural, among other changes. And yes, you read that right. This book details not one year, but two-years-worth of insight and challenges I had to overcome to get to where I am today.
I decided to do this little experiment, on purpose I might add, because I wanted to understand why I had such an issue with my body, as well as the perceptions of others regarding my body. Our perceived outward appearance affects our internal beliefs regarding our self-worth and our capacity for self-love.
Unfortunately many people are conditioned to not love themselves. I was one of those people. We've grown up in a society that values the external appearance over the internal one; where you can be an asshole as long as you're pretty, and it doesn't matter how kind you are if you're wearing your comfy pants and an old t-shirt to dinner.
Now, I got some funny looks doing this little experiment. I've gone two years without shaving my legs, without wearing a bra, and forcing myself to wear sweatpants everywhere I went. I've gone without makeup and I've let my hair do its own thing after a shower. You learn a lot about your own definitions of, and the differences between, comfort and discomfort this way.
I'm not saying you have to do what I did. You get to read about two-years-worth of insight because I had to do it this way. I had to go deep into my own discomfort in order to realize what I really wanted out of life. I had to go to the extreme of not taking care of myself in order to come back to love again.
Use this book as just another tool on your own journey of self-discovery. I offer many different ways to understand what it means to love ourselves. We all have to discover our own truths and we all have to get okay with ourselves in our own way. I share my story so that is may assist everyone on their path.

Описание: You would have to wonder why a Rhodes Scholar, a VC winner and a Commissioner of Police named his son Frank E. R. Stein by way of a ha-ha 'monstrous joke'... or why he cackled derision every time his eyes lit upon the boy; or why he showered more affection on his adopted son, Costas, the otherwise offspring of a Mr Bigs of organized crime.And as the well is so poisoned such is the quest Frank Stein must make to seek revenge for the gangland killing of his crusading crime-fighting half-brother. At least it is a way to presuppose the kingpins presumably coming for him too; after all, even as a joke, it's not how you bow out, but how you get stuck in.Rape, assassination, shocking intrusions of a vicious crime world... it's all there for a tragic and hilarious story to unfold before Frank Stein, assisted(?) by his own side comprising of a woman in search of an international bestseller and an indigenous brother who survives writing sports reports without going to any games when all he needs is a deaf, dumb and blind rich white sort to tide him over. And, yes, haunting over all is a shadowy guardian Chinese toughie, as well as his ubiquitous father from his wheelchair. One has to ask: what have the famous father's shocking WW1 experiences to do with the resulting mayhem? What has be done to his sons? What did the Nip bullet the old boy finally coughed up after forty years look like, even as a metaphor?Underlying the rich gallery of these and other grotesques, there are the wit and the pace and the bawdry of Crooks. In the real-life crime parlance of 'a pushover to put down', this book won't disappoint crime buffs.--------------------about the authorOriginally a well-known playwright, Bill Reed began writing longform fiction in his late thirties.

Описание:
We are souls having a human experience. Earth is simply a game. Earth is just a story we've created and are reenacting like a play on a theatre stage. When we are done playing this game, when we are done with the story, we move onto a new one.
The first thing to remember is that we chose the human experience. We chose the game, and we agreed to the rules. In fact, we wanted to come here so bad that there is a waiting list to get onto the Earth at this time Many souls desire to jump onto this ship we call Earth, especially at this time of ascension and shift in consciousness. This is a unique opportunity to experience physical ascension alongside a planetary ascension, and so if you are reading this right now you are one of the luckiest souls to have this experience at this time.
So why don't we remember that we are playing a game when we arrive? Because those are the rules we agreed to. We chose to experience density, which gives us a sort of amnesia as we are immersed fully into the illusion of life as a human. If you knew you were playing a game, would you even want to play after all you have been through? That is why the veils are in place, so we can fully experience and grow from our lives in a human body without the knowledge that we are more than human.
Use this book as a tool in discovering your purpose and getting the most out of your journey here on planet Earth. Everything is a learning experience. We are here to play, so play the game you want to play, and play it well

What does it mean to live in the now? Conscious thought. Consciously thinking is being aware of your thoughts, paying attention to them, and having the mindfulness to change them, if needed, in every moment. This book will help you sort through your thoughts, your dreams, and guide you into releasing the ones that no longer serve your best interest.
Everyone is living their own story. Everyone has their own definition of what it means to live, what it means to die, and everything in between. Our stories change in every moment. Details change in every moment. We identify with our stories, but a lot of the time we forget that the story changes. People change and grow. Is time to let go of the old versions of you. It is time to let go of your attachments to, and expectations of, a future that will never happen.
Living in the now is a choice. We often forget we have choice. We forget how amazing life can be. Yesterday and tomorrow are just words, words with thoughts attached. At its core, time is an illusion. 'Yesterday' and 'tomorrow' are perceptions of the mind, and we use time to justify them as going in one direction or the other. The concept of 'now' is another matter. We are all living in a single moment, or an infinite number of moments, and it is the human mind that perceives that moment as expanded over time.
Sort through your fears and your belief systems to find the real you. The human mind is a powerful thing. It can believe anything it wants to. All you have to do is change your thoughts and you'll change your world. This takes a constant commitment, for many thoughts and beliefs have been built over time, have many emotional attachments to them, so they take more effort to change. But it can be done. All things are possible if you believe they are.
Why do you think the way you do? The answer should surprise you, and that is a good thing.
