Needless to say no person of any political party has contacted any member of the Lia Pootah Community.

To the people who are trying to find out what tribe he belongs to, how can anyone expect him to know when he claims (in Sunday Tasmanian, 11 February 2001) that Black Judy was his mother and denies he is descended from a negress.

Dear Reader,
Recent publicity concerning the above-mentioned legislation and statements by a member of the Aboriginal Centre (T. Maluga) leave a lot to be desired and add nothing to the possibility of any reconciliation of the aboriginal communities of Tasmania.
It appears that the Aboriginal Centre Kayehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04260975096100630111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664860.post-1064386515326492232003-09-24T16:51:00.000+10:002003-09-24T16:55:14.710+10:00FACE THE TRUTH JIM BACON
Mr Bacon is at this very moment in talks with the leaders of the Aboriginal Community. One can only wonder who in the community he is talking to. Even without an educated guess it would have to be the same old same old.. Jim Bacon is nothing if not consistent with his limited consultative process when it comes to Aboriginal issues.

What is the one persistant factor is that he arrived in Tasmania. Unrefuted. As to the date, that may continue to be questioned for centuries to come and will become an urban myth as time passes.

On Monday night 18 August the Hobart City Council voted that they wanted a representative Aboriginal panel to assist in all Aboriginal issues, not just those Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre (TAC )accepted who were put onto the Hobart City Council’s Aboriginal committee.
