Australian Greens
Australian Greens Senator Nick McKim has thanked Uncle Jim Puralia Meenamata Everett for his inspirational defence of country and the native forests of Lutruwita/Tasmania.
"It is beyond absurd that Uncle Jim can be convicted of trespass on his own land," Senator McKim said.
"Uncle Jim's defence of his country against destructive logging has inspired many, including me."
"He should be warmly thanked rather than convicted and fined."
"Destroying Aboriginal heritage, logging species into extinction and heating the planet are the real crimes here, not defending country that was stolen from your people."
