		Aden Ridgeway will be judged by his people according to whether their hopes and aspirations are truly reflected by what he achieves.

		And I am delighted that Aden and I have had the opportunity this morning to hold this news conference and to, from our different perspectives on the republic, he a republican, I an anti-republican, nonetheless joining together inviting the Australian people to cast a yes vote in favour of the preamble.
		Senator Ridgeway, a lot of Aboriginal leaders have expressed their disappointment that there’s not actually that this isn’t in the body of the Constitution means that there is no real change in law.
		I respect the fact that Senator Ridgeway might have another view on that and it is properly open to him and his party to argue that point of view but the Coalition is for the preamble, that’s it, as to other matters, well, they have to be dealt with on their merits.

		Ridgeway’s attempts to raise some interest in the Aboriginal death in custody and subsequent riot on Palm Island, as an example of the continuing problems between Aborigines and the police, got nowhere.
		You read nothing of this yesterday, though listeners to London’s BBC world service were told of the “17 men and a 14-year-old boy who appeared in court in Australia’s Queensland state, charged in connection with a violent protest on Friday following the death of an Aboriginal man in police custody”.
		If Aden Ridgeway’s urgency debate wanted to confirm just how terrific things are in Sydney’s green hills and golden beaches—then he might get somewhere.

		Senator Ridgeway, Democrats spokesperson on Arts and Indigenous Affairs, expressed concern over the Copyright Act not protecting traditional designs that are owned collectively by communities.
		Considering that the demand for Indigenous art is expanding rapidly both overseas and in Australia, Senator Ridgeway said that change to the Copyright Act is urgent.
		A recent example of exploitation, said Senator Ridgeway, was when the International Olympic Committee promoted significant Australian Indigenous artworks as free downloads on their website without the artists’ consent.

	Natasha Stott Despoja's `new politics' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		If the mainstream media are to be believed, the ascendency of Natasha Stott Despoja to the leadership of the Australian Democrats, and of Aden Ridgeway to the deputy leadership, heralds a new era in Australian politics.
		This attitude is not surprising, given she was chosen as Australia's “most promising youth leader” by the World Economic Forum, the institution that thousands of young people came out to oppose in September last year.
		For all the groovy image, the right clothes and media attention, she and Ridgeway are the bosses' “dream team” and no-one else's.
