<h2>What was Australia's 1967 Referendum about? There are common misconceptions about what the 1967 Referendum actually changed. <div class='textbox <h3>What the referendum was about</h3> The 1967 Referendum proposed to include Aboriginal people in the census. The 1967 Referendum proposed to allow the Commonwealth government to make laws for Aboriginal people. <h3>What the 1967 Referendum was not about</h3> The 1967 Referendum <ul> <li>did not give Aboriginal people the right to vote. This right was already introduced in Now, onto selection news... Our VC Shannon Hurn will be taking on the captains duties for this round, as we feel it's important to have our captain lead the players out onto the ground and also be there to set the tone early for the rest of the team later in the game. At this stage, we are only selecting Shannon Hurn to fly the flag for the first part of the round, and we have named Masten and De Boer as emergencies in case we cant field enough players next week And there are murmurings that Kurt Tippett has indicated he may be willing to start the season with us and is on his way back to Gariwerd to train with us for a week while we make an assessment on whether we include him in our final team.
Kurt Tippett has arrived back in Gariwerd and has confirmed his intention to play in round 1 for us. If he was to play at all, we think it will be off the interchange bench - and Kurt is apparently unhappy about that. He is currently training the house down, trying to convince us that an onfield position in the team is more suitable.

We are amazed at the turnaround as, not that long ago, we were thinking that we would have a hard time convincing him to commit to the Cockatoos program. Well, the big game to start the season is underway, and it hasn't gone without drama. There were a few problems before we even could start this weekend. First of all, Kurt Tippett spat the dummy again! He was insulted by being selected to start on the interchange and has flown the coop/nest. Once again, he is refusing to play for us and asking to be delisted midseason. At this stage, it is premature to make any statements of the clubs position on that. We can only say that we have, once again, granted Kurt a leave of absence to return home (we still don't know where that is - Sydney?, QLD?) and we will be in touch with him and his management closer to the deadline to announce midseason delistments. Luckily Chris Masten was ready to step into his role on the bench. Now, the other controversy occured when Darraweit Guim tried making a late change, bringing Ty Vickory in for Rohan Bewick. It was unbeknown to Darraweit coach, Chris88, that Vickory is not welcome in Gariwerd and we could not let it happen and put a stop to it. We initially hoped the ORFFA Commission would step in, but the Commissioner ruled that we had to handle it, so we had no option but to... send Setanta and the boys out to physically remove him: [span style='font-size: 14.666666984558105px; [span style='font-size: 14.666666984558105px; The game has been going great since then

Results are in for round 1 and we have come out of it losing 1242 - 1099. Lids was our only player to score a century, and half of the rest couldn't get past Tom Murphy's 69er! While for the visiting team, they only had 3 players giving less than a 69. B&F votes were as follows: 3 - Deledio - ran rampant in the midfield after dropping the defender shackles and was clearly our best. 2 - Hurn - filled in admirably as stand-in cap, and really led from the front (being our only onfield player in week 1 of the round. 1 - Masten - was a late inclusion after sooky Kurt Tippett went home (again) crying and didn't disappoint. ROUND 2 is at Powlett Plains But we've already got our eyes on Round 3 when we head to the Whitsundays, so we're gonna take our whole squad to the Powlett Plains game and then head up north directly after the game and spend the best part of 2 weeks in the Whitsundays before our Round 4 game at home against Birdsville.
ANOUNCEMENT We are pleased to announce that we have sold our Round 10 home game against Waikikamoocow to the Mines Rovers Football Club in Kalgoorlie, WA. The big ORFFA game will be played as a curtain raiser to the Mines vs Boulder night game on June 1. More news on the event to follow, closer to the date.

Further to this, we have got in touch with Kurt Tippett and he has agreed to join the team in the Whitsundays for the time we are there; we believe it will be an excellent opportunity for some team bonding which may go some way to repairing the current relationships between Kurt and his teammates and The Cockatoos organisation in general. We have asked TiB if he thinks he would be able to put us all up for a couple of weeks, but if he is not able to, we may just end up sleeping on the beach somewhere. Furthermore, we hope to hire a private jet for our trip back to Gariwerd in time for Round 4 and we have asked JC to chip in on the cost and we can pick up the Battlers on the way.

From the review by Lenny120: Powlett Plains 1194 defeated Gariwerd 1040 Powlett Plains built on their round 1 win last week, with a comfortable victory over Gariwerd.Bellchambers (144) dominated the defenders of Gariwerd, while Kane Cornes (123) continued his brilliant start to the year for the Packers.Gariwerd would have been looking to hit back with a win this round after a disappointing loss last round, but too many passengers and not enough leaders saw them slump to 0-2 to start 2013.

Y'see Jolcon and I had this little wager going on the R1 game. I staked a one-day free charter service with Air Whitsunday against his offer of giving me the Bird. So really, Jolcon already has air travel sown up. However, I am assured the plane could fit both teams with ease. /Portals/0/User%20Images/air%20whitsunday.jpg/Portals/0/User%20Images/hayman.jpg As for accommodation, the cockies are welcome to stay as long as you like. We have flown in extra sunflower seed. We hope Shagger Hurn will be comfortable in the island suite (above). We confess to being a little concerned about Tippett though. He does tend to get up to no good. Let us know well in advance and the Head of our PR Department, Ms. Chelsea Roffey, will meet your flight on arrival and assist with customs and immigration formalities. I assume all the boys have visas. Look forward to it. Excellent. Sounds great. I don't think Hurn will have a problem staying there. Where will the rest of us be staying? anthak wrote: JC wrote: anthak wrote: hey mate, not sure if you saw my question in the blog section. You are due to travel down to Gariwerd for Round 4. We will be traveling from the Whitsundays in the immediate days preceding our match, so Im wondering if you want us to pick you up on the way? Also hoping you can chip in on the cost, or maybe at least pay for fuel No need to pay for a flight home Ant. Since I'm probably flying on the Whitsunday's dime anyway after I won our bet, you may as well hitch a ride! Well, that works out really well! Thanks a lot. We'll make sure we get on the plane that's on it's way to collect you. I can confirm that we managed to get out of Powlett Plains as soon as the game concluded and made it to Whitsundays and are already enjoying our time in the leadup to the game this weekend. <img alt='' width='550' height='413' src='https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS6RbvISyg1ysf3lHR0j28i8ntN8xX-t7d9Jtk55h_TKK-7195L' style='margin-top: 109px;' id='irc_mi[/img] Heres a shot of us leaving Powlett Plains. <img alt='' width='312' height='235' style='margin-top: 83px;' id='irc_mi' src='http://cdn4.agoda.net/hotelimages/499/49918/49918_0912182345001876820_STD.jpg[/img] And this is about the extent of our training this week.

I announced earlier in the blog section that there would be a press conference later today, but staff and players are still in their recovery session after the big win and it has been postponed to a later date - probably Wednesday. <img alt='' width='470' height='470' src='http://images.starpulse.com/news/bloggers/24/blog_images/kim-kardashian-paparazzi.jpg' id='irc_mi' style='margin-top: 80px;[/img] A couple of pics from our recovery session!
To avoid the crush of the likely crowd our press conference in the Whitsunday was expected to draw, we called a surprise press conference just after sunset: So, the big news... As everyone would be aware, this week is World Penguin Day and XRemembranceround. <div> <div>Our old sponsors caught wind that we were in QLD and have offered us a great deal to play our Round 4 home game at their headquarters: <pre></pre> <pre></pre> <pre>[span style='font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; </pre> We expect a bit of outrage from our home supporters because this game was going to be our only home game in a 5 week period, but we are over the moon that our old sponsors from last season have got in touch and committed to hosting this game and our home supporters would be happy to know that, once again, there will besubsidisedBundy rum on tap at all the remaining Gariwerd home games. Which we should point out now that there is only 1 more home game in Gariwerd - round 7 vs Cradle Mountain - scheduled before the midseason draft. <div> <div>Just as we did when Mawson Base visited last year, our sponsors will be giving away a penguin meet pie to all spectators at the game. <div> and... Due to the extremely late notice, our sponsor will be providingaccommodationfor our opponents from Birdsville and Im sure it will be up to standards (its far better than what is available in Gariwerd anyway): <pre></pre> <pre>[span style='font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; white-space: normal;</pre> Bundaberg is actually closer to where we are now in the Whitsundays than Birdsville, so we're weighing up whether to swing past Birdsville in the Air Whitsunday jet, as originally planned, or travel direct on our own expense. We'll work that out in due course, but for the time being, we've gotta get back to training. <pre></pre> <pre></pre> <pre></pre> Thats our new Sports Scientist on the right His methods worked for Round 3, so we're gonna stick with him.
