8th June 1998


Dear Parliamentarians / Humanitarians,

For "services rendered" to the game or even the state?
We had hoped that we could retire from all of this? A life of
"modest luxury" on an island in the sun with a golf course?
One of which neither Jack Nicklaus nor Greg Norman had 
been involved in regard to the forcible removal of natives, 
as in Mustique during the sixties (as witnessed by no less 
a person than Jimi Hendrix,) and more recently in Indonesia?

But, as we can't have one law for the ANC, and another for 
East Timor and the rest of the more sports minded international 
community. And as you can witness from our permanent signature. 
Over 1999, we would ask you to "tie in" the following Australian
internal issue and add  your support in bringing an Olympic 2000 
sports boycott to fruition..

The need for a triple stand braid. Burma, Indonesia and native 
Australia. Raison d'etre? Are there not at least three human 
rights improvements which need to be demanded during the
Millenium year?

It seems to our membership that the Australian Government
has two race based problems. One of these are shared by the 
Government of the UK, the arming and trading with the Indonesia 
of the past and probably,  considering the statements coming out
from Jakarta, also the future.

The other racially based problem is the many deaths in custody 
of native Australians. And to this end we shall be contacting a
founder member John Pilger, and others who would wish
document and screen any internal protest inside Australia 
itself. And if you wish to add your own knowledge of those
interested in the subject, so add. But please remember to tell 
us when or if you are already satisfied that enough is being 
done to improve upon the above death in custody ratio by 
those with the power so to do.

Please be assured that the experience of some ex Anti 
Apartheid Movement members at this end of the line can 
assist you to bring a new focus upon this racial issue and 
support those inside Australia and elsewhere who do not 
subscribe to the British and Australian Governments ill 
reputed humanitarian policies on Indonesia. And also 
assist those that wish to avoid the development of what we 
used to call, "broken glass" protest.

and elsewhere, contact

AAM news team to go underground in S Africa and assisted 
a number of reasonably civilised and successfull sports 
sanction campaigns. Boycott 2000?

On the above subjects and during these dark hours, your 
daylight assistance would be most welcome.

Mihra was founded during UN50 to advance and protect 
creators rights in a cultural market monopolised by the 
six member recording  / publishing Cartel. Mihra's roots 
are in music and anti-racism and it has called for a sports 
boycott of both Indonesia and Burma for the Sydney 2000 
Olympic Games.
