Australians will head to the polls on Saturday October 14 for our first referendum in nearly 24 years.
If you are still yet to familiarise yourself with all 26 pages of the Uluru Statement from the Heart, then my hope is that this select analysis is of benefit.
So, when the Prime Minister, Minister for Indigenous Australians Linda Burney and other Labor ministers claim all these additional pages are a “conspiracy theory”, they do so deceitfully.
Here, we may extrapolate an ultimate and alarming conclusion: if this law was violated by colonisation then it can only be unviolated by decolonisation; that is, unless all colonial traces are removed Down Under, “The Law”, as it is perceived by the adherents of the Uluru Statement from the Heart, remains violated.
It asserts, “Now is an opportunity for the First Nations to tell the truth about history in our own voices and from our own point of view” . If readers wish, they are welcome to enter into civil correspondence with me over these claims and inferences; for now, let’s continue. Principle 3 cites Article 3 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as it puts the case for Aboriginal “self-determination” .
That is, even the Uluru Statement from the Heart concedes that Aboriginal Australians, for their race alone, are extended certain privileges which non-Aboriginal Australians are not. The table lists the thirteen regional forums whose meetings comprised the Dialogues – Hobart, Broome, Dubbo, Darwin, Perth, Sydney, Melbourne, Cairns, Ross River, Adelaide, Brisbane, Thursday Island, and Canberra – and then records each forum’s response to various propositions arising from the guiding principles, such as the Voice to Parliament.On the issue of agreement-making, or treaty, Broome’s response is marked “not recorded”.
The crux of this roadmap is already well-known to readers of my columns and bears only brief mention.
