My blood is Palawa and I was brought up with the late Bruce McGuinness, Lionel Rose, and the Melbourne mob, the fighting Gunditjamara.
Six years before the 1987 Deaths in Custody Inquiry I applied for political asylum in Sweden after I was near bashed to death in custody following a police raid on a community financed entertainment centre in St Kilda I managed, so I know more than most about cause and affect (cause an international stir and you wind up with an inquiry with heaps of money thrown around to little effect).
And I would like to know why the sovereignty mob wants to treaty with a government that's got no jurisdiction to treaty with women, not part of any black tradition I've ever come across, best wishes.
