Yup, you read right, an Aboriginal woman placed a curse on PM Howard of Australia.
I predict that a big fat nothing will happen to him. Politically, Aboriginies will be unlikely to vote for him at the next general election.

The reason for this angry outpouring of voodoo is the dissolution of ATSIC (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission).
She might as well point the bone at Opposition Leader Mark Latham as well, he promised the same if elected this year.
It was devised by the Labor Government 14 years ago but has failed miserably and needs to be shelved. Wasted money and taxpayer-funded junkets did nothing for its reputation. The head of the commission, Geoff Clarke has been no stranger to controversy and is doing the Koori's no favours.

It is the age-old question of indigenous rites, unfortunately I can't see the problem being solved in my lifetime.
A difficult issue but we need to keep trying.

Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.
