    Default Redfern Riots/Resistance

    If anyone has any links on this which include:

    - Analysis of the reasons for why the riots occurred (socio-economic, relationship between indigenous people and the po-lice, etc)
    - quotes from indigenous peoples on the riots

    Would be much appreciated. Doing my major work on it.

    Cheers,
    PTiT

    The last time I was sentenced to death, I ordered four hyper-vodkas for my breakfast. All a bit of a blur after that... I woke up in bed with both of my executioners. Lovely couple, they stayed in touch! Can't say that about most executioners. - Captain Jack Harkness
