Marlo Morgan campaign the “Mutant Message Affair”

During 1995 the Dumbartung Aboriginal Corporation coordinated a world-wide campaign against an American woman ‘’New Age Author’’ named Marlo Morgan who wrote and published a book titled ‘’Mutant Message Downunder’’.

This campaign was an extensive and effective process that resulted in Dumbartung unifying the Aboriginal voice across Australia and from a well-planned strategy selected six well respected Aboriginal law people both male and female to travel to the United States of America to debunk the book as a new age fantasy of untruths and cultural absurdities.

The Elders participated in a series of media conferences and public venues enticing people that this book was a fabrication of the true Aboriginal cultural and spiritual values and lore!

The campaign ended in a massive walk in Tokyo Japan by Robert Eggington the Director of Dumbartung and Paul Sampi a well-respected law man of the Bardi people from One Arm Point.

Eventually a book was published written by Dr John Eustace from the Acadia university in Canada titled ‘’Old Battle-New Age’’ .

A Death Threat in the East Perth Lockup

Warning this episode has a high content of racial vilification.

During the early 1990’s I was appointed as the spokesperson for the newly developed Aboriginal Visitors scheme.

This scheme was one of the recommendations from the Royal Commission into Aboriginal deaths in custody.

The story tells of an incident whilst I was visiting a young Aboriginal man in the East Perth Lockup, I was racially vilified and threatened by a Detective Sgt of the Western Australian Vice Squad whilst carrying out my duties. The story also recapture’s the police harassment on my family during the early years of the political activism of Dumbartung.
