Keeping the Bastards Honest

Well the Democrats don’t really exist any more (in Australia!), but they had a great slogan

The Anangu Lands Paper Tracker is a website and email newsletter set up by UnitingCare Wesley Adelaide.

Anungu Paper Tracker Website

The website aims to keep track of government commitments to Anangu and comment on what is actually occurring.

Anangu is Pitjantjatjara for “people”, or more specifically for the Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara people living in the APY lands in South Australia.

If you cross the border into WA to the Ngaanyatjarra and Ngaatjatjarra people the term would be Yarnangu.
