Tourists banned from Cape York tip after calls from Traditional Owners
Tourists have been banned from entering Cape York’s most northern tip as Traditional Owners continue to report of defecating, littering and graffiti on sacred sites.
Michael Solomon, chairman of the Gudang/Yadhaykenu Aboriginal Corporation says it's insulting that locals and volunteers have to clean up the mess left by tourists visiting Country.
"We have been here for a long time but cannot go forward, people just don't recognise the traditional landowners,” Mr Solomon said.
Thai protestor faces up to 135 years in jail for challenging monarchy
Thai protest leader 22-year-old Panusaya 'Rung' Sithijirawattanakul is facing up to 135 years in jail after publicly challenging for monarchy reform last year, which included unprecedented calls for curbs to the King's power and wealth.
Many Thai people have gone into exile and have never returned to the country because of Article 112, and many people have been put in jail for more than 50 years.
Ms Sithijirawattanakul is behind bars awaiting trial later this year, with nine charges laid against her.
