howard gets the bone pointed at him
 

An Aboriginal woman put a curse on Prime Minister John Howard as he visited the regional Victorian town of Colac.

Clad in possum skin and traditional tribal makeup, the woman stood silently outside Colac Performing Arts Centre while Mr Howard got into his waiting vehicle after addressing a crowd of more than 500 members of the local community.

Embattled Aboriginal leader Geoff Clark and his supporters watched as the woman known as Moopor pointed a bone about 2.5 centimetres long at Mr Howard, who just smiled and waved.

The silent protest comes as Mr Howard last week announced the scrapping of the peak Aboriginal organisation ATSIC.

Mr Clark said the curse was a message to Mr Howard to listen to the Aboriginal community.

He said the curse could be taken two ways and Mr Howard had a choice to either let Aboriginal people take control of their own affairs and lives or be cursed up until the next federal election.

"This curse could go two ways, it could enlighten him and lift a mental block that Mr Howard has about indigenous Australians,' Mr Clark said.

"(Or) Mr Howard can refuse to ignore the message at his own peril and be put under a curse up until the next federal election."

The Aboriginal woman known only as Moopor was not permitted to speak with the media in line with Aboriginal culture.

But speaking after his public address Mr Howard dismissed the curse and said he would deal with the issue calmly.

"I don't think Mr Clark speaks for indigenous Australia," Mr Howard said.

"I will deal with the matter calmly."

Dozens of indigenous Australians turned up to protest against Mr Howard's abolition of ATSIC.

They were joined by Victorian farmers protesting about changes to Victoria's dairy industry.

A handful of anti-war protesters screamed at Mr Howard "shame on you" as he left the venue.
