COLAC, Australia (AP) -- An Aboriginal woman clad in animal skins has put a traditional curse on Prime Minister John Howard, apparently in retaliation for government plans to abolish Australia's top indigenous elected body. Howard encountered the woman on a visit to Colac, an outback town with 500 people in the southern state of Victoria. Painted in traditional tribal makeup and wearing possum skins, Moopor stood silently and cast the curse by pointing a small bone at Howard as he climbed into a waiting car. Howard smiled and waved at Moopor before leaving. Moopor refused to speak with reporters, citing unspecified Aboriginal cultural reasons. Aboriginal curse put on Aussie PM Howard |
