THE Northern Territory's first ever indigenous minister says criticism of CLP Minister Bess Price's performance has nothing to do with race and is not patronising, as her family suggested on Tuesday. 
 
John Ah Kit, who managed seven portfolios for Labor in 2001, said he respected Ms Price personally and did not want to offend her family, but that she was fair game for criticism when she became a minister.

"You need to have your head around the issues and abreast of what is happening within your department and the government in general," he said. "I don't see that happening with Bess Price. I don't believe I would be racist, nor am I patronising."

Ms Price's daughter Jacinta Price defended her mother's showing during Estimates hearings by calling the Opposition "racist and patronising" for demanding she be stood down over a flubbed answer around statehood and numerous "no comments" for months around her housing portfolio.



The younger Ms Price told the Centralian Advocate that the criticism levelled at her mum was "bullying ... it's racist".

Mr Ah Kit did not agree.

"(Her performance) is woeful," he said. "If anyone is patronising it's the CLP. I think the CLP has patronised her to a level where she's accepted ministerial responsibilities that she's not capable of doing properly."

Minister Price responded yesterday by saying she worked hard as a minister and has delivered on her election commitments.

She also implied Labor was being disrespectful by calling for her to be sacked.

"If Labor believes respectful communication is not applicable in the political environment, it makes it difficult for any Aboriginal person with a non-English dominant background to feel they are welcome at the table," she said in an email.

Mr Ah Kit said: "You're not there because of what colour, race or creed you are. You're there to represent Territorians and you're there to prove yourself, that you're capable."

I have met that Ross "the skull" May, from Squadron 88. This guys is a fellow that is openly racist and pro Nazi for sure. While his methods are quite in your face and loud. I do admire the fact that he is out there, unashamedly standing up for his beliefs.I don't think I'd have the guts to go as loud as him.. but I have to give him credit for getting out there.

If a man went to the rally in Melbourne in a swastika shirt , so what? Yes you couldn't wear a louder shirt. However that is an ancient Aryan symbol too. Why should he be politically persecuted just because of clothing?

I can see how some Kosher conservative right wing  people don't like this attire.. but he did what he did because he wanted to upset the reds! It was all shock value. Sid Vicious had a Swastika shirt too.

All this "let's ban hate groups with the bikies" sort of crap. That is a load of B/S! Why can't Squadron 88 be called a "racial love group?". They have as much right to be any other place other Australian citizens can go.

CLP Community Services Minister Bess Price's entertainer daughter has called critics of her mum's performance "racist and patronising". 
 
The comments come after deputy Labor leader Lynne Walker called for Ms Price to be stood down last week for failing to satisfactorily answer questions in estimates hearings about what she is doing to promote Territory statehood.

"I see it as bullying," Jacinta Price said in an interview with the Centralian Advocate.

"At the very end of the day, when things are winding up and there's five minutes to go, to come out and attack her with a question regarding statehood, for no particular reason but to try and make her look like a stupid bush blackfella.




"It's racist ... I think what you have to realise is that if Aboriginal people are going to be represented in Parliament then they're going to be represented by people who have a different way of doing things, approaching media ... the way in which mum talks ... English is a third language to her."

Ms Walker rejected Ms Price's comments.

"Criticisms toward Bess Price has nothing to do with race, gender or the car she drives — this is about her failure to perform," Ms Walker said yesterday.

"Ministers of the Crown are not immune to criticism. They are on taxpayer-funded salaries and must be answerable as to how they perform."

Ms Walker said her call for Ms Price to be terminated was not just over statehood, but also for her repeated refusal to answer simple questions around her other portfolios, including housing.



"In the bush the Government is failing to deliver on housing numbers and it is all being presided over by a minister who cannot give the department the stamp of authority it needs," she said.

Bess Price told the Advocate Ms Walker's call for her to be stood down could be detrimental to achieving self-determination in the bush.

"How are we supposed to encourage people from the bush to become leaders to represent their people when as soon as they stumble, or get nervous, they are publicly attacked and told they are useless or incompetent?" she said.

"We need to judge people on their achievements, not assassinate them when they are tired or nervous."


Every one has to owe the boong something?

New laws to make it easier for lesbian parents to be included on a child's birth certificate have passed the upper house of the South Australian parliament.

The Greens bill dispenses with previous requirements for the parents to prove they lived together for three years before conception of the child if they both want to be listed on the birth certificate.

Other states don't have the three-year rule, which Greens MP Tammy Franks says has proved a barrier to many lesbian couples.

There is also no similar requirement in SA for two men who father a child with a surrogate to prove they have lived together for three years.The bill will now go before parliament's lower house for approval.



... and the parent that should be written on the paper should be.. "the turkey bastor!"

yeah maybe in your global region... for now the Jew is the big enemy. China has more people and more money and I can see these buggers getting on top of the Jew.
