  Australian Aboriginal art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Australian Aboriginal art refers to art done by Australian Aborigines, covering art that pre-dates European colonisation as well as contemporary art by Aborigines based on traditional culture.
Three common types are X-ray art, in which the skeletons and viscera of the animals and humans portrayed are drawn inside the outline, as if by cross-section; dot-painting where intricate patterns, totems and/or stories are created using dots; and stencil art, particular using the motif of a handprint.
In 1934 Australian painter Rex Batterbee taught Aboriginal artist Albert Namatjira western style watercolour landscape painting, along with other Aboriginal artists at the Hermannsburg mission in the Northern Territory.

 The case against picking on Israel (Weekend Australian)
If the Australian Government had found out days in advance that terrorists in Indonesia were planning the attack at Bali and the Indonesian Government was unwilling to do anything, let me assure you that any government in Australia would have done exactly the same thing.
There is widespread agreement that any government -- Australian, US, Britain -- any democracy that failed to kill a terrorist who was planning to kill its civilians, alleging that to do so would be illegal or immoral, that government would fall and should fall.
Israel appreciates when the Australian Prime Minister refuses to join the hypocritical chorus of condemnation surrounding the killing of Yassin.
