I am Australian and was unaware of this until recently.
Had she known about it, I’m sure Nicole wouldn’t have wanted to offend anyone – she obviously was not aware.

Furthermore, I can’t believe how much of our national news this has dominated, and that it’s all Nicole bashing. I don’t particularly like her but I think terribly sexist to allow only men to play and if it’s such a sacred instrument, why are didgeridoo’s sold *everywhere*. I don’t hear anyone complaining about the profits they pocket, which could be considerable given how expensive they are.

I am surprised people do not know this.
I have known this since I was a kid.
not the barren part but that no woman should play it.
I do not think it is sexiest.
somethings in our the aboriginal culture is womens business and some men.
it is part of the mens world. nothing wrong with it.
I personal would never EVER play it out of respect.

Ok guys, let me try and explain this a bit better.

Nicole went on a german talk show, they surprised her with the didgeridoo and asked her to play it, she awkwardly obliged.
Whilst she was trying to play it Hugh Jackman then did a stereotypical aboriginal dance which many considered to be much more offensive than Nicole playing the didgeridoo…
Nicole had no idea that playing it was offensive to the aboriginal people and no idea that to be a woman and play it would be even more offensive.
95% of australians wouldn’t have known this either. I studied Indigenous Australia in school and I had no idea either.
Didgeridoos are sold at every airport and tourist shop in Australia.
She has said she meant no offence and has apologised for it.
Just like Nicole I have great respect for Aboriginal culture however I wouldn’t worry about her fertility being affected by the incident…
This is all much ado about nothing.

Funny how they are not so concerned when they are getting PAID to teach people how to play eg the groups who go around all the schools in Australia, loads of girls at my school where taught how to play.

What “paper/magazine” is this crap from? Years ago, my friend Emily (14 at the time) received from her visiting Aunt & Uncle a didgeridoo because she loved, & still does, collecting musical instruments. She plays them for fun. The didgeridoo became her favorite after the bagpipes.

Well, with each of her 4 beautiful children, she sings them to sleep with background tracks she burned using piano, bagpipes, didgeridoo & drums…

She’d laugh her head off reading this.

Everyone is entitled to their beliefs but they are just that – BELIEFS. Blowing into a hollowed out piece of log is going to make you infertile? Er, yeah, right. The fairies at the bottom of my garden say otherwise.

I’m completely blown away that people are not more outraged by this outright sexism. I think it’s absolutely disgusting that a person puts a curse on a woman and people act ambivalent about it because it’s “their culture”. Tolerance of intolerance is not tolerance at all.

LOL. And did anyone inform the Aborigines that it’s almost 2009 and normal people aren’t concerned about these things?

@lambman:
Because the Catholics themselves have no sexist superstitions or traditions. Right.

Didn’t a female castaway from Survivor: The Australian Outback also learn to play this?

I remember The Spice Girls got into similiar trouble when they did a New Zealand haka (Maori war dance) a few years ago.
