Indigenous SOVEREIGNTY generally relates to “inherent rights deriving from spiritual and historical connections to land”.
The CLOSING THE GAP (for life outcomes between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians) PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT is a formal agreement between Commonwealth, state and territory governments, the National Coalition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peak Organisations, and the Australian Local Government Association.
https://digital-classroom.nma.gov.au/images/national-native-title-tribunal-map-australia
The objective of the NATIONAL AGREEMENT on Closing the Gap is to enable Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and governments to work together to overcome the inequality experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and achieve life outcomes equal to all Australians.
Scott Morrison of the Liberal Party of Australia was PM between 2018 and 2022. The Council of Australian Governments (COAG) agreed to establish the Joint Council on Closing the Gap in December 2018, committing to a Partnership Agreement, and then in July 2020, the Joint Council agreed to the National Agreement. Scott Morrison created the “new-federation” National Cabinet during the covid-contrivance which contravenes Constitutional Commonwealth governance. Where are our protests?
The National Agreement took four Priority Reforms:
* Strengthen and establish formal partnerships and shared decision-making
* Build the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled sector
* Transform government organisations so they work better for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
* Improve and share access to data and information to enable Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities make informed decisions.
As year 2024 rolls in, the Indigenous First Peoples might well be enslaved by these four Priority Reforms if the following were to continue – Treaty Agreements/ Community Local Government & ALGA Governance/ Government transformation & new-federalism/ data & digital storage.
From closingthegap website, the Closing the Gap Target 15 is:
“People maintain a distinctive cultural, spiritual, physical and economic relationship with their land and waters”.
The Outcome:
“Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people maintain a distinctive cultural, spiritual, physical and economic relationship with their land and waters.”
The Target:
15a: By 2030, a 15 per cent increase in Australia’s landmass subject to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s legal rights or interests.
15b: By 2030, a 15 per cent increase in areas covered by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s legal rights or interests in the sea.
As at 30 June 2022, 4, 138, 356 square kilometres of the land mass of Australia and 91, 111 square kilometres of the sea country of Australia were subject to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s rights or interests.
The Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander peoples’ owned land and water titles, and the Proportion of all land which is Indigenous owned or controlled, stands “Nationally, as at June 2022, 16.1 per cent of Australia’s land area was owned or controlled by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. This is unchanged from the same time in the previous two years (June 2020 and 2021)”.
The present Australian Government Corporation has control over the Indigenous First Nations peoples through the Land Councils, its Acts and Agreements. UNDRIP’s principles are self-determination, participation in decision-making, respect for and protection of culture, equality and non-discrimination, but the Australian Government has not taken steps to implement the UNDRIP into law.
The Australian Parliament must govern for all Australians, not just prefer the “inherent rights deriving from spiritual and historical connections to land” for one particular people group. Today’s non-indigenous Australians cannot atone for the sins committed against aborigines in prior generations. But today we as Australians can fully commit to help solve the troubles affecting First Nation peoples. How can we, if we enjoy goods and services and house and land, not extend the same blessings to others? The aboriginal people may well believe that the land is their mother.
To them the land is the giver of life who provides them with everything they need. The land is a spiritual part of the Aboriginal people and you cannot separate one from the other. However this belief of connection with land is what is going to cause a lot of trouble to those who do not share the same belief. This is a religious issue. And, not wanting to be provocative, but why if it is a spiritual truth, has the land so failed to deliver the aborigines out of their troubles. I think the only wise answer lies in “Love God and love your neighbour as yourself”. For all.
Editor: While governments fall over themselves to ‘hand back land’ to Aborigines, there is a catch – Aboriginal people are unable to do anything productive with this land. Under the terms of Aboriginal Freehold or any other title it is unable to be legally sold, subdivided, mortgaged, farmed, run livestock, or enjoy a productive return.
It can be utilised for tourism of a vague nature and some of it can be lived on by individuals or a community. In Queensland the hand over of massive areas of mineral-rich Cape York Peninsula to Aboriginal groups is in the same boat.
Prior to Christmas the singer Peter Garrett the former federal Labor Minister was trying to bribe Aboriginal elders on Cape York into allowing federal and state Labor create a vast World Heritage area ultimately for the benefit of mining. Garrett is an awful singer let’s hope his bribery skills are just as horrible.
This Aboriginal land can be mined in some circumstances by multinational mining companies but generally it is locked up and sterilised for future mining activities. Former Queensland Labor Premier Anna Bligh, now CEO of the Australian Banking Association, when in government mortgaged nearly all of Cape York to Rothschild Bank as collateral for a $60 billion loan to the state.
This is reflected in the conditions of the titles which forbid just about every activity. Mrs Bligh got her reward from the banks for accepting these loans. She now earns a high six figure salary.
Back to the Voice Referendum Working Group.
Alcohol bans could return…blah, blah. The takeaway here is ‘crime wave’ and continuing ‘crime wave’.
The Hunters Hill claim will be interesting?

I feel its time to point out the elephant in the room concerning ‘closing the gap’ down under. It is the very delicate matter of iQ. Not that I am knocking the less intelligent amongst us as you can only work with what you are born with, healthy environments, nurture, and all that.
IQ is something however that can be directly related to income, ‘status’ and quality of life. It cannot be gifted unlike vast swathes of token land. It cannot be taught and yet is the governor on all of our individual lives and careers excluding politicians who are just evil opportunists. Sadly, the useless desolation of our politicians minds, their falsity and usual futilities in doing anything other than playing their roles has now led to theft of sovereign land from ‘Australians’ in broad daylight. Would we be homeless now as well if the YEs had come down?
I could quote studies and research data at this point but will cut to the chase as nicely as I can, the Blackfellah’s IQ (full blood) was the lowest on Earth. Its has been described as stone age. This is not an insult but a science fact and when you transform that aboriginal into a modern society where a +80 IQ is required even at the lowest level you are just setting them up to fail. So how can that IQ ‘gap’ actually be compensated if they are ever to rise up in quality of life and into the healthy participation we have? The answer still is of course you cant but you could still give them a fair income, their own housing and respect. Another issue requiring resolution is removal of corrupt Blackfella grifters/leaders who keep them down just for more grift.
If you make their lives comfortable the same as working people on a adequate income its not welfare for them as its the only way to get that fair income, a necessity for good health and quality of life. If they owned a house what more is there to want these days!? They still have hunting rights and universal access, we don’t and yet we are indigenous too. I bet the dead Diggers in my family are spinning, the polly insults to our lack of sovereignty or any Anglo Caucasian solidarity/identity have almost written us out of Oz
Left out one thing: the black fellas can’t access the mineral rights either.
Sovereign Nations are the solutions. Already 5 new ones started plus Yindinji and 3 more preparing. This is the solution TAP The Australia Project have been working on for 2 years based on the Yindinji model.
We will be in Cairns next weekend. If you would like an update just email me.
Pat from Vic
Hell, even Rebel News might be worth a shot, notwithstanding Avi Yemeni has emphatically asserted his loyalty to the Zionist Master Race and their brutal extermination of the Palestinians.
Thank you for bringing that up Pat. Everyone should be ‘shouting it from the rooftops’.
Yemeni: definitely qualifies as quality gallows (or lamp-post?) fodder.
I also endorse your suggestion to advaustralia, re contacting Stew Peters or Del Bigtree.
However, the rest of your suggested media sources had me in stitches, especially the one about approaching the Chinese News Service on Xinhuanet. 🤣
advaustralia said – “We need hundreds of thousands to sign.”
While IMO petitions to our presumed ruling elites serve little purpose beyond shining their butt cheeks after a great big dump in the gold-plated parliamentary latrine, I assert that opinion with the caveat that – taking only a little time – they can probably do no harm and MAY in a Twilight Zone Universe actually have some tangible effect.
All that on the proviso that petition-pushers don’t fall into the “White Hat” trap of sitting on their arses thinking that, having signed a petition, they’ve done all they need to do to save themselves. Chickens are NEVER going to negotiate their way off the foxes’ menu.
SO if you “need hundreds of thousands to sign”, then placing the link on Cairns News might be a good start, but perhaps more exposure is needed. Were I seeking to accomplish that, then I’d be thinking about getting interviews with people like Maria Zeee and Guru Dave Graham (or maybe Caz, since she’s a FAR BETTER communicator) and (Heavens forbid!) the Aussie Cossack while he still has an Australian media presence, and anyone else with the inclination to give some air time to this particular topic.
Hell, even Rebel News might be worth a shot, notwithstanding Avi Yemeni has emphatically asserted his loyalty to the Zionist Master Race and their brutal extermination of the Palestinians.
Want to REALLY go out on a limb? Try getting in touch with Stew Peters or Del Bigtree on the Highwire and others like that. Sure, they’re big-time American alternative media personalities, but they have followings in the HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS, and they generally seem interested in Australian issues.
Want to REALLY REALLY go out on a limb? Send a submission to Sputnik News and RT News. Just imagine the global reach.
Want to REALLY REALLY REALLY go out on a limb? Send a report to the Chinese News Service on Xinhuanet. That oughta get you some notoriety.
And if you’d like to get some MAINSTREAM coverage, just send a letter to the foreign-owned hired mercenaries posing as the “Australian Federal Police” telling them what a pack of treasonous brain-dead murdering pack of bastards they really are, and then after they come shoot your dog, burn down your house, break your arms and legs and generally beat the living shit out of you, and drag you off to solitary confinement (or just “disappear” you), you’ll have all the national mainstream coverage you could wish for. Maybe even make the foreign news.
There are hundreds of thousands, probably MILLIONS, out there in Australia who will do ANYTHING within reason to get these treasonous bastard mongrels off our backs. They can only do what they KNOW they can do, though, and an obscure petition will remain so without any serious exposure.
When is the REFERENDUM?
Authorities must resist the woke actions of kowtowing to Aboriginal claims for water, and anything else, based as those claims generally are on myth and practises that occurred hundreds of years ago before Settlement by the British in 1788.
Today, Aborigines must be treated as present-day Australians with only those rights given to everybody. There must be no rights given to anybody simply because of their race. The Aborigine today is not the traditional Aborigine of yesterday and should have no special claim to anything.
Regrettably, Native Title and rights are being granted rapidly across most of Australia, to the detriment of Australians overall. A major problem is that Section 25 of the Native Title Act 1993 provides the circumstances where Native Title holders have the right to negotiate with those wanting to act on Native Title land. No such acts are permitted unless negotiated with the Native Title groups. This holds any new development, mining, changes to farming leases, etc to ransom. It is a massive and unproductive money-making machine for Aborigines.
IT MUST STOP!

The story above is instructive especially in terms of the huge layers of administrators, in effect Royal Estate Agents, who extract a good living from their subdivisions and legal manipulations. First you walk in and start to carve it up, like a carcass at the abattoir, then everyone can slice, dice and rearrange it with parsley, string and presentation boxes, finally some obsessive lunatics will try to stick parts of it back together, the funding for that endeavour is their own concern.
Note that after three centuries of loyal service Rotschilds were finally allowed / qualified to marry into the ancient Italian royal bloodlines in 1974.
Terra Nullius was converted to Royal Estate by the British military and it remains thus. The extensive Royal Estate Agent industries are superficial and should not be given too much credit or regard.
Be careful what you wish for. If you haven’t been to these remote towns up north, you haven’t seen the huge money floating around up there. This government initiative is just another excuse to extort as much money from your average Joe Blow Aussie. But where does that money go? We can guess where a large portion ends up, but don’t think it’s all thrown away. Towns like Nhulunbuy, Gove and others are doing very nicely, thank you. The locals have more cash in their pockets than most Aussies, thanks to the mining operations there. I’m not denying that there is still a lot of poverty up north as well, but that is hardly a cultural problem. It’s a government problem, exacerbated by alcohol and poor education. If people only traveled more, and kept their eyes and ears open, we might all learn the truth and separate out the government lies.
We have created an online petition that gets sent to each sitting Senator every time someone signs it. So far, only hundreds have signed it. We need hundreds of thousands to sign. That will get the attention of the Senators and maybe… just maybe… they will pull our judges and magistrates into line. Once that happens, the whole corrupt edifice comes tumbling down. Sign it here:
