New Voice for Norfolk Island

Norfolk Island is under siege by the Australian Government. The only radio station on Norfolk Island has been seized. The volunteer staff have been removed and replaced by Australian Government controlled staff.

Talk-back radio and political broadcasts have been banned by the Australian Administrator. Only Australian Government propaganda about welfare services and the July 1 Takeover is being transmitted.

This leaves the people of Norfolk Island without any community discussion. There is also a blanket over all broadcasts from Norfolk Island. Our radio link to the outside world has also be cut.

The community and Council of Elders of Norfolk Island urgently need to communicate with each other and with the outside world. 

We are asking supporters for help to fund an alternate radio station both on-line and on the island. Your support will allow us to engage people to restore our Island's communications during this extremely stressful time. WQe have to restore current reporting of events through talk-back radio and news broadcasts.

The actions of the Australian Government have left this peaceful Island community no option but to focus their limited resources on supporting each other and their families. We feel isolated from the rest of the world and cut off from each other.  

Please assist us to regain our voice and our dignity.
