NCIE Board, Newsletter and Website
The National Centre of Indigenous Excellence (NCIE) released its first newsletter on 18 May 2009 which revealed the details of the new website www.ncie.org.au. The newsletter "I on Excellence" did not provide any of the expected details on the name change / change project focus to one of "excellence" and what the implications of this are for the local users. The newsletter gives no information about the NCIE Board but we have now received a belated media release on the new board which show Sol Bellear as the only local appointment with no local women's appointee. The newsletter is quite large and can not be searched or copied from so we have not put it on the REDWatch website - when it goes on the NCIE site we will link to it. The Board details are below:

ROEBUCK Plains, a cattle station purchased amid controversy by the Indigenous Land Corporation before becoming a $30million jewel in the Kimberley pastoral industry, is to be handed back to Aboriginal traditional owners reports Stuart Rintoul in the Australian of 19 May 2009. [REDWatch Note – While this article does not directly relate to Redfern Waterloo our decision to post this article is because it raises concerns about how the ILC works and consults with another Aboriginal Community which has also been a concern raised in Redfern Waterloo.]
