Just heard about this and not too sure of its political stance (sounds pretty statist), but haven't seen anything on Indy and it is a pretty big thing to show solidarity for - Aboriginals in OZ are treated like shit and the government don't seem to bat an eyelid.. international pressure can't hurt... heres their press release
