UQ Branch Supports Musgrave Park Tent Embassy

Posted 16 May 2012 by Lachlan Hurse (University of Queensland)

Today May 16 the UQ Branch committee passed the following resolution:

That the UQ branch of the NTEU stands in solidarity with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people struggling for their sovereign rights at the Musgrave Park Tent Embassy.

The branch deplores the action by the Brisbane City Council and Queensland Police in forcibly removing the Tent Embassy.

We call on the union movement to engage in a dialogue with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander activists at the Embassy and their respective organisations, in order to mobilise unionists in support of their just cause.

Passed unanimously
