US embassy cable - 05CANBERRA791

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

REF: STATE 82967 
 
1. (U)  We presented reftel talking points on May 5 to 
Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) Director for 
Human Rights and Indigenous Issues Gerry McGuire.  McGuire 
told us late on May 5 that the USG could rely on the GOA's 
support in opposing the Commission reform resolution in 
ECOSOC, noting that Australia had already opposed the 
resolution in the UN Commission on Human Rights (CHR).  There 
was already ample movement in New York to discuss UNCHR 
reform, he said, and added that "New York is where the main 
game is."
