18 Sep 09: “SICK of having your welfare entitlements compulsorily controlled by the Rudd government? Tired of being treated like a third class citizen with no human rights? Frustrated that you no longer enjoy the protection of the Racial Discrimination Act? Well, why not do what
Richard Downs and about 200 of his countrymen and women have done. Walk off your community, and start a new one…
outside the reach of the racist Northern Territory
intervention.” Chris Graham
National Speaking Tour
“Richard Downs will be visiting Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne in October to spread the message of the Alyawarra Elders and to rally support for the walk-off and
the campaign to stop the intervention.”

    Dear Richard Downs, and all those who are on the journey with the Ampilatwatja community, I hope you are doing well!

    While you were in Melbourne I had the pleasure of meeting you and Harry and of recording some interviews you did with Robbie Thorpe (on 3CR) and with me during the protest rally + your words at Melbourne University and at the public forum on October 16th, including the words of a Melbourne union member.

    Here is the video from your visit to Melbourne documenting this wonderfully inspiring story of the Ampilatwatja walkoff. Richard, you are doing a great job of including everyone on this journey – and the video hopes to reflect this specific aspect of the walkoff.

    I hope you enjoy it and please feel free to distribute it far and wide.

    All the very best,
