Koories remove museum exhibition in disgust:

The news has just come in and I'm trying to find out more. Apparently some Aboriginal people, representing one of the local language-speaking goups, has walked in and removed an indigenous exhibition from Melbourne Museum.

The exhibition displayed some portraits of people who have died, and the Museum hired out the room in which the exhibits were hung for end-of-year parties.

Whoever handles the party-bookings at Melbourne Museum should know the basic facts about indigenous sensibility. Where's the respect ?

It's utterly grotesque to have parties (doubtless with a few gallons of alcohol guzzled down) in the same room as representations of the honoured dead.

Every schoolchild knows that.
