19.01.2022 More Fire & Brimstone work from Australias North that chronicles our new normal; a landscape of weather havoc and coronavirus. https://www.crossart.com.au/

16.01.2022 The darkness of the Covid-19 pandemic hides fast-tracked approvals for the resource extraction that shakes the landscape and causes extreme weather havoc. Images: Therese Ritchie, If she were as priceless as a Warhol 2020. 80 x 50cm; Todd Williams, Rapture, 2020. 40 x 64cm.

16.01.2022 Sirius travesty: Well "copper pods", a "name architect" and re-cycled rain water have dazzle factor. Forget public housing for the aged. They want a new 3-story building and lots of shops. The state government sold Sirius - quiet symbol of Sydney - in 2019 for $150 million to a private development company owned by an "unknown" entity called JDH Capital after ignoring the Heritage Council's call for state heritage listing. Thanks Alison Alder for the visual reminder! Comments due 17 December. See: https://www.planningportal.nsw.gov.au/major.../project/25721

15.01.2022 Heritage v Mining: As luck would have it, this time the rock art was identified early enough for the big machine to stop and think. CEO of the Nyiyaparli Aboriginal Corporation says; "From Nyiyaparlis perspective, we were very lucky to identify the significance of the art very early on and bring it to everybodys attention." https://www.abc.net.au//nyiyaparli-paintings-indi/12488256

15.01.2022 Keeping Place: While Rio Tinto claims it protects cultural heritage, it has not done so with regard to Juukan Gorge. It has an opportunity to demonstrate this commitment in its handling of the artefacts collected in salvage excavations by archaeologists in 2008 and 2014. https://www.afr.com//a-keeping-place-would-preserve-what-s

14.01.2022 The next Sydney East Art Walk is Saturday 19 September 2020, 12 - 4pm

13.01.2022 Independent report by Professor Samuel highlights that the EPBC Act had failed to fulfil its objectives as they relate to Indigenous Australians". That, "Much more needs to be done to respectfully incorporate valuable Traditional Knowledge of Country in how the environment is managed." Finally, Indigenous Australians seek, and are entitled to expect, greater protection of their heritage. https://epbcactreview.environment.gov.au//media-statement-

13.01.2022 Announcing the winners of Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair Foundation (DAAFF) inaugural National Indigenous Fashion Awards (NIFA)! Bravo to well-deserved award winners, Peggy Griffiths and Kieren Karritpul. Trumpet blowing time: Sydney saw their stylish, original and wonderful artwork first at The Cross Arts Projects!

It is the full orchestra for pioneering artist Bede Tungutaaalum, co-founder of Tiwi Design in the 1970s . Long may you reign! https://nifa.com.au/congratulations-to-the-nifa-2020-winne/

12.01.2022 The Witness K and Bernard Collaery secret trial continues to unfold and steadily receive more media attention. This Wednesday, Bernard Collaery will be in conversation with former President of Timor-Leste Jos Ramos-Horta for a webinar with the Australia Institute of Research.

12.01.2022 Here we are in virtual Darwin with the openings of DAAF, NATSIAA, Salon and smaller exhibitions. Snap to it for DAAF art fair with artworks grand and small. Tonight is the night to watch the NAATSIAA awards online.

NSW and Vic folk, imagine you are lying under the tropical palms waiting for hte announcements

12.01.2022 This is life or death vs profit. Damn Murphy's will make more money in Darwin than they do interstate on cheap grog. That means a bottle of wine they sell down South for $8 will sell for $13 in the Territory. Every cent will go into the corporate pockets of Woolworths. Not a cent to the government, let alone the community. These corporations will be exploiting the most lucrative market in Australia.

11.01.2022 ACCAs wonderful Defining Moments series is worthy of serious time. https://acca.melbourne//defining-moments-the-aboriginal-m/

11.01.2022 Nice video series from NITV on the winners of Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair Foundation (DAAFF) inaugural National Indigenous Fashion Awards (NIFA). Hands together for Kieren Karritpul. https://www.facebook.com/watch/

10.01.2022 Damn Murphy's Darwin will have an estimated turnover of $1million a week. Meanwhile, DV and FASD will proliferate, even escalate ... All the excise duty flows to the Commonwealth government: the NT economy will not earn a cent. Worse, because of the (welcome) Floor Price on alcohol in the NT, Damn Murphy's will make more money than they do interstate on cheap grog. The federal government, like the NT government, is captured by the alcohol industry and will not consider a national floor price on alcohol.

09.01.2022 Mining v World Heritage: There is now a strong case to overhaul the WA Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act to prevent outrages like this in the future. .. https://www.theguardian.com//we-need-a-thorough-investigat.

07.01.2022 How will Rio Tinto ensure this never happens again? https://www.smh.com.au//unacceptable-failures-super-funds-

07.01.2022 KABOOM! There goes Rio Tintos reputation. The giant had numerous opportunities to choose to not destroy a world heritage site.

05.01.2022 KABOOM! There goes Rio Tinto's reputation. The giant had numerous opportunities to choose to not destroy a world heritage site.

05.01.2022 Vale Sally Couacaud: your 1992 exhibition, "Frames of Reference" was an art and feminism landmark and the location, glorious old Pier 2/3 (now Sydneys Walsh Bay arts precinct), was lots of fun! You brought joy, wit and intelligence to your projects. Yes, Sydney Sculpture Walk was a milestone. (Shamefully neglected and with artworks also being slowly demolished.)

04.01.2022 Solidarity with Holdens and AGSA in Adelaide for their planned Margaret Dodd survey. You saw it first at The Cross Art Projects. Bravo Margeret and curator Susan Charlton and the South Australian made Holden. Immortals! https://www.agsa.sa.gov.au//curators-insight-margaret-dodd/

04.01.2022 Fire and Brimstone: Therese Ritchie, Chips Mackinolty, Todd Williams & Djon Mundine 29 August to 26 September 2020 https://www.crossart.com.au/

03.01.2022 Vale Mr R Peters one of the greats, revered for his painting, knowledge of Country and his understanding of systems of knowledge. As a senior traditional owner for his Darrajayin Country he died fighting fiercely to protect it from miners.

03.01.2022 The worlds biggest iron ore miner says "sorry" to Parliamentary Heritage Inquiry. In late May Rio Tinto legally destroyed two historically significant sacred caves in Western Australia, against the wishes of the Traditional Owners, but that sat atop a high grade ore body it planned to mine. https://uk.reuters.com//rio-tinto-apologises-for-failures-

03.01.2022 "Stepping down" is a creaky start. Come on Rio get serious about a board spill and reservation of 50% First Nations members on the Board. More needs to be done to address world heritage vandalism. https://www.nytimes.com///rio-tinto-indigenous-sites.html

03.01.2022 One of Sydney’s bleak and wet nights, but we reached the Covid-19 approved limit (40 people) in the Trades Hall atrium. Thank you to Judy Mundey, Meredith Burgmann, Pat Fiske and host Peter Manning for the inspiring talks on the Green Bans period triumphs and setbacks. Without the BLs, Green Bans and battling community groups little would be left standing and we wouldn’t have today’s industrial benchmarks, heritage monuments and environmental legislation (watered down as it is).

02.01.2022 No, no, no. Tourists Go Back. Remote communities are too vulnerable. (The Federal "Intervention" into NT remote communities failed spectacularly to close any "gaps" and improve housing and health.) Gaps are now chasms.

02.01.2022 Another blast and beautiful Beirut is no more. More than 160 people killed, around 6000 injured and thousands of residential buildings and offices damaged. Several heritage buildings, traditional homes, museums and art galleries damaged. Thanks Chips Mackinolty for the "Solidarity" artwork.

02.01.2022 Last Day: Saturday 8 August. The superb exhibition Connected to the Land pays tribute to three senior women artists; Betty Bundamurra and the late Mary Punchi Clement and Mary Teresa Taylor, presenting work selected by their colleaguecurator and artist Angelina Karadada Boona. The works originate from a small tin shed; an art centre they call Kira Kiro Artists in Kalumburu, an isolated settlement in North-East Kimberley. Their art is sustained by the rock art tradition; the Drysdale River catchment has one of the earliest and securely dated sites for Aboriginal occupation at 50,000 years ago.
