Just who is the guy in the brown and yellow shirt that upset so many people at the community meeting…. and why is he so passionate ?

Declan Furber Gillick was born in Mpartnwe/Alice Springs and is the son of veteran Stolen Generations campaigner – highly respected Arrernte man- the late Mr H.Furber and Vicki Gillick, policy coordinator of lobby group The People’s Alcohol Action Coalition.

The moment that I yelled out was in response to when the speaker asserted that any time that anyone sees kids on the street outside of school hours they should call the police and I actually think that’s a very dangerous thing to be asserting !

But is this what community meeting co-ordinator Garth Thompson really said ?….listen here to his actual comments.

CAAMA apologizes to Garth Thompson and is sorry for misrepresenting his comment on a previous posting.We will continue to accurately represent all views as the town goes forward in achieving real solutions to longstanding issues.

My name is Declan Furber Gillick and I am son of Kumanjayi Mr H. Furber
