Treaty and Inclusion the Only Way Forward: My Open Letter to the Political Parties – » The Australian Independent Media Network

My apologies for adding to this letter, not the bold print, but I felt it helped clarify things in my own mind.

Considering that Australia was one of the only developed Western nations in the world to not have a treaty with its First Nations peoples.  ( Why did this come about? The British Crown did after all pass protection laws for its colonized native populations. They did require treaties to be signed and they were in Canada NZ, South Africa, the West Indies etc. While all these colonies obeyed the crown  The governors and administrators here neither had the balls nor the manpower to enforce protection laws or demand treaties to be signed regarding the possession of “Crown Land” freely taken by squatters and leased back to them. Beyond a line indicating the city’s limits it was simply a free-for-all.  The fear of rebellion resulted in no system ever being informed or actioned)

Every minority group knows how hard it is to not only fight for your rights but also to maintain them especially so now in the post-truth period of madmen. These madmen especially don’t want diversity or equality for all because they want to create the illusion of helping those going through economic and social hardship and weaponizing differences to gain and maintain power. This was the Big Lie strategy that Joseph Goebbels in Nazi Germany used for the Third Reich for Hitler.

It’s what the LNP promised for most of this century that they will do better only to come up with closing ASTIC, cutting $500M from the Indigenous budget, closing projects, and coming up with the Cash Card, Robodebt, and greater money spent on consultants and “planning” rather than reaching those in need.

Dutton is now calling for more auditing not of admin fraud but the remote communities fraud, in the same way, he’s calling for the investigation of sexual abuse of children in Indigenous communities but not  the commercial scale widespread across the rest of white Australia. That Goebbels’s Strategy of weaponizing dysfunction among minorities for political gain will be deployed, assisted, and cheered on by News Corp, 2GB and all the other usual suspects.

  1. I find it sad that every topic in our country has to have a political bias and this issue is no different!
    So let’s cut to the chase; let’s have an ‘investigation of (all) sexual abuse of children” in this country.
    Follow this up with an audit of ALL monies spent on improving the conditions of First Australians,
    because monies spent in the past don’t seem to have worked.
